ABSTRACT:
A vehicle security system includes an antenna carried by a first housing for positioning adjacent the front windshield area of the vehicle, a control switch carried by the first housing, and a security controller positioned in spaced apart relation from the first housing and being responsive to signals from a remote transmitter and also being responsive to the control switch. The antenna is for receiving signals from the one or more remote transmitters. The control switch may be a momentary contact switch. The security controller is preferably switchable between armed and disarmed modes. According to one aspect of the invention, the security controller may include a coded override feature for switching to the disarmed mode from the armed mode responsive to operation of the control switch in a predetermined pattern based upon a user override code. The coded override may accept an override code input as a series of control switch operations. The security controller may also be switchable to a valet mode when in the disarmed mode responsive to the control switch. In the valet mode the security controller is prevented from passively arming. The control switch may be used to enter a programming mode and/or permit programming of the system features.
