Patent Images
1. A security system for a vehicle having at least one powered component, comprising:
- a GPS sensor located with the vehicle, which sensor produces a location signal indicative of a geographical position of the vehicle;
a vehicle controller located with the vehicle, which vehicle controller receives a base control signal and selectively provides an actuator control signal in response to the base control signal;
a base controller located independent of the vehicle, which base controller receives the location signal and selectively transmits the base control signal to the vehicle controller; and
an actuator located with the vehicle, which actuator selectively enables or disables the powered component in response to the actuator control signal.
