Abstract
This invention relates to a vehicle security device. It relates, more particularly, to a security device or system which operatively serves as an alarm and/or immobilizer. The invention provides a vehicle security system including first and second parts, each including an electronic sub-circuit and a housing, and a communications link. In the operative configuration of the system on a vehicle, the first part is permanently mounted on the vehicle and the second part temporarily. The sub-circuits are interconnected via the link to define an integral control circuit, thus rendering the system operative. Should the vehicle be sold and the purchaser not require the system, the second part and the link may be removed and re-used by the seller. The value of only the first part is sacrificed by the seller. The system is aimed primarily at vehicle dealers.
