International ClassesG06F 007/04G08C 019/00 AbstractA vehicle control system includes a radio transponder to be carried by a user, and a radio transponder reader at the vehicle for generating control signals to enable at least one vehicle function based upon receiving a desired radio signal from the radio transponder when positioned in proximity to the reader. A jammer radio transmitter at the vehicle selectively prevents the radio transponder reader from receiving the desired radio signal from the radio transponder based upon a controller, such as an alarm controller of a vehicle security system, especially an after-market security system. The controller preferably includes a receiver for receiving remotely generated signals to operate the jammer radio transmitter. The control system may also include a remote transmitter for generating control signals to be received by the receiver. For example, the remote transmitter may be a portable transmitter carried by the user, or may be a satellite, cellular or paging transmitter remote from the vehicle. A vehicle anti-hijack switch may control the transponder jammer. The at least one vehicle function may be operation of a vehicle engine or control of the vehicle door locks.Other References
