SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREVENTING UNAUTHORIZED USE OF AN AFTERMARKET REMOTE STARTER TO BYPASS AN OEM SECURITY SYSTEM

摘要

A system for preventing the unauthorized by-pass of an OEM security system including an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) starter for starting a vehicle, the vehicle having an engine and an ignition, an OEM security system responsive to an OEM security signal, an aftermarket by-pass kit for by-passing the OEM security system upon receipt of an aftermarket data signal which is distinct and separate from the OEM security signal, an aftermarket remote car starter device in communication with the by-pass kit for sending the aftermarket data signal to the by-pass kit to disable the OEM security system by causing the bypass kit to send the OEM security signal to the OEM security system and to start the engine, and a remote car starter transmitter in wireless communication with the remote car starter device. The communication between the by-pass kit and the remote car starter device is effected through a code-hopping mechanism; through encryption or through a unique code matching the by-pass kit to the remote car starter device.
