Vehicle security apparatus
First Claim
1. A vehicle security apparatus comprising:
- transmitter means carried by a user for transmitting a first discrete coded signal identifying a specific transmitter means;
sensor means mounted on the vehicle for sensing attempted access to the vehicle;
receiver means, mountable in the vehicle, for receiving and recognizing the first discrete coded signal from the transmitter means, the receiver means including;
anti-theft means;
means for learning a first discrete coded signal associated with a specific transmitter means while the first discrete coded signal is being transmitted by the transmitter means and received by the receiver means; and
means for arming the anti-theft means upon the first receipt and recognition of a learned discrete coded signal and for disarming the anti-theft means upon the second receipt and recognition of the learned discrete coded signal.

Abstract
A vehicle security apparatus includes a portable transmitter generating at least one discrete coded signal. A receiver mounted in the vehicle in response to the first receipt and recognition of a discrete coded signal from the transmitter arms an anti-theft system in the vehicle security apparatus. The anti-theft system includes a starter interrupt which prevents the starting of the vehicle when the anti-theft system is armed and/or alarms, both visual and/or audible, to indicate an attempted access to the vehicle. The receiver is capable of learning one or more codes associated with specific transmitters. A sensor is mounted on the vehicle to detect attempted access to the vehicle. The receiver, when armed and receiving an output from the sensor, activates the starter interrupt and/or the alarm for a predetermined time. The receiver is optionally capable of automatically operating the vehicle door locks, the vehicle hood latch and trunk latches, as well as the inside vehicle lights automatically during the arming and disarming sequences.
