Abstract:

An anti-theft and anti-carjacking system for an engine powered vehicle. The system has a remote transmitter which selectively operates a vehicle mounted receiver and switch. The switch, when actuated to a selected position, interrupts electrical continuity.

In the preferred embodiment, activating the system to the anti-theft or armed condition will also engage an internally mounted lock in the engine compartment to prevent attempts at circumventing the system.
