Abstract
An interface and a system for interconnecting a car alarm and a wireless telephone include an alarm connector for connecting to an alarm and a mobile station connector for connecting to and sending signals to a wireless telephone connector. The wireless telephone has a memory storing a telephone number of a recipient to be notified when signaled through the connector of the wireless telephone. A processor (CPU) interconnects the alarm connector and the mobile station connector. The processor (CPU) signals the wireless telephone to dial the telephone number when the alarm is tripped and sends signals through the alarm connector to the processor (CPU).
