A control system for a vehicle includes a controller for learning a unique code of a token to define a learned token capable of causing performance of a function associated with the vehicle, for example. The controller performs remote token verification to generate an indication relating to whether a new uniquely coded token has been learned by the controller. The control system is advantageously used for a vehicle security system also enabling starting of the vehicle. The token may also include at least one first electrical conductor for electrically connecting to at least one second electrical conductor included in a token reader. In one embodiment, the token verification is based upon the controller being recently entered into the token learning mode. According to another embodiment, the token verification is based upon a number of learned tokens, a change in that number, or a change in a learned code of a token. The indication may be provided at the vehicle or remote therefrom by any of a light, a visual display, a vibration transducer, a speech message generator, and an audible signal generator, for example. |
