Anti-carjacking apparatus

摘要

Apparatus for disabling operation of a vehicle (10) in the event of an attempted theft thereof. A switch (32) is provided in the ignition circuit (17). The switch (32) is controlled by a processor (39) which is remotely-controllable to open the ignition circuit (17) to prevent the passage of current therethrough. This switch (32) is thus controllable independently of whether the vehicle (10) is in operation whereby the vehicle (10) may be rendered inoperative even after it is discovered that the vehicle (10) has been driven away by a thief.
