International ClassB60R 025/10Foreign Application Priority Data1993-05-11 ITAbstractAn antitheft system installed on a motor vehicle has an electronic control unit connected to a localization information detector and to a telephone apparatus, so that the control unit can produce a voice message and then transmit it directly to the police and/or to a security organization by means of the telephone apparatus, when a plurality of sensors detect certain conditions such as the theft of the vehicle. The message may also be sent by the system to a person authorized to use the motor vehicle by means of a transmitter-receiver radio and a portable transceiver radio. Voice messages are contained in a first mass memory unit, localization information derived from a second mass memory unit, the message selected on the basis of satellite signals received and decoded by the system.Field of SearchResponsive to changes in voltage or current in a vehicle electrical systemWith entrance/exit time delay LAND VEHICLE ALARMS OR INDICATORS Antitheft Ignition or starting circuit lock Manual code input (e.g., push button) Coded record input (e.g., IC card) Ignition or starter circuits By preventing unauthorized or unintended access or use Land vehicle location (e.g., bus, police car | |
