A keypad-based security system limits access to the ignition of a gas powered vehicle such as a golf or utility cart, to authorized operators having authorized ID codes. The security system, which is easily retrofit to existing vehicles, is interposed between the vehicle's ignition switch and the switch circuit of the vehicle. ID codes input by the operator using an on-board keypad are compared with a set of authorized ID codes stored in a memory, and a relay is energized to connect the ignition switch to the switch circuit with the energy source when the input ID code is verified as matching one of the authorized ID codes stored in the memory. The keypad uses only five keys to input a four digit ID code comprising any of the digits from 0 to 9.
