1. A security system, comprising:
- a control device that includes a keypad for inputting a request for permission to operate a plurality of vehicle security systems, wherein after the request has been input, a first message that includes the request and an identification of the control device is wirelessly transmitted from the control device; and
a control module that includes a database for storing operating parameters that are to be granted to control devices that have permission to operate the vehicle security systems, wherein upon receipt of the first message, the control module grants the control device permission to operate the vehicle security systems if the identification of the control device matches an identification of one of the control devices stored in the database, wherein if there is a match the control module wirelessly transmits a second message to the control device, the second message including operating parameters of the control device,wherein upon receipt of the second message, the control device selectively controls the vehicle security systems in accordance with the operating parameters.

5. A method for selectively controlling a vehicle security system, comprising:
-
transmitting, from a control device, a first message including a request for permission to operate a plurality of vehicle security systems and an identification of the control device; receiving, at a control module the first message; granting or denying, at the control module, the control device permission to operate the vehicle security systems based on information stored within a database accessible by the control module; transmitting, from the control module, a second message to the control device when permission to operate the vehicle security systems is granted, the second message including operational parameters of the control device and a base identification of the database; and selectively controlling one of the vehicle security systems, by transmitting, from the control device, a third message to a vehicle security system, the third message including a unique identification of the vehicle security system and a command identifying a function to be performed by the vehicle security system. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A security system, comprising:
-
a control device that includes a means for entering a request for permission to operate a plurality of vehicle security systems, wherein after the request has been entered, a first message that includes the request and an identification of the control device is wirelessly transmitted from the control device; and a control module that includes a database for storing operating parameters that are to be granted to control devices that have permission to operate the vehicle security systems, wherein upon receipt of the first message, the control module grants the control device permission to operate the vehicle security systems if the identification of the control device matches an identification of one of the control devices stored in the database, wherein if there is a match the control module wirelessly transmits a second message to the control device, the second message including operating parameters of the control device, wherein upon receipt of the second message, the control device selectively controls the vehicle security systems in accordance with the operating parameters. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27)

28. A security system, comprising:
-
a computer that includes a database for storing operating parameters that are to be granted to control devices that have permission to operate a plurality of vehicle security systems, wherein the operating parameters include time intervals during which the control devices have permission to operate the vehicle security systems, wherein the time intervals are set to a first clock in the computer; a control module that includes a second clock synchronized with the first clock, the control module for granting or denying the control devices permission to operate the vehicle security systems based on the permissions stored in the database; and a control device that includes a keypad for inputting a request for permission to operate the vehicle security systems and a timer for measuring time intervals, the control device transmitting a first message to the control module, the first message including the request and an identification of the control device, wherein if permission to operate the vehicle security systems is granted by the control module, the control device receives a second message that includes operating parameters assigned to the control device, the operating parameters including a first time interval during which the control device can operate the vehicle security systems, wherein after receiving the second message, the control device operates one of the vehicle security systems during the first time interval by transmitting a third message to a vehicle security system, the third message including a unique identification of the vehicle security system and a command identifying a function to be performed by the vehicle security system, wherein at an end of the first time interval measured by the timer, the permission to operate the vehicle security system is expired.
