Abstract:
A vehicle anti-carjacking and theft prevention device incorporating a disabling system for terminating operation of a vehicle whether or not the owner is present thus preventing the theft and/or hijacking of the motor vehicle. The system is passive and always activated when the vehicle is started whether by key or if it is hot-wired. A nondescript hidden touch sensor, in a location selected by the owner during installation, deactivates the system after ignition, which allows the vehicle to be driven normally. An LED light will signal operator that normal driving operation has been attained. If the touch sensor is not touched by the operator after starting the engine, in the time allowed by the manufacturer, then the system will cut the operation of the fuel pump thereby disabling the vehicle within the factory specified distance. The vehicle cannot be restarted unless it is reset. Thereby the system has a hidden reset jack/button for normal operation of the vehicle to be regained. The system also has a hidden valet plug which bypasses the disabling system as long as the plug stays inserted to avoid disclosure or explanations to those parking the vehicle. The system will automatically rearm itself every time the vehicle is turned off. With respect to the unit itself, the nondescript housing contains and protects all the electrical components and is in turn directly wired for each function.
