ABSTRACT:
A vehicle security device against theft which comprises a mechanism built into the vehicle out of sight as original equipment or for the after market. The device is built into the gear change console (manual or automatic) housing which is usually a metal pressing fixed to the floor pan so that the mechanism is tamper proof. The mechanism is a plate which lifts into a position in which it locks the gear change into the reverse position, it is released by a high security key on the console. A servo is available to lock the ignition key in its socket to prevent it being withdrawn until the gear lock has been activated, to prevent people forgetting to activate the security device, assuming they are in the habit at least of removing the key before leaving the vehicle. This servo can work on a pneumatic or other basis.
