Abstract:
1. A security system, comprising: a control device for wirelessly transmitting, in response to a user input via an input means of the control device, a request to operate a plurality of vehicle security systems, the request including an identification code of the control device; and a control module for receiving the request and granting the control device permission to operate the vehicle security systems if the identification code matches an identification code of a control device that has permission to operate the vehicle security systems, wherein the identification code of the control device that has permission to operate the vehicle security systems is stored in a database, wherein the control module is separate from a vehicle, wherein when permission to operate the vehicle security systems is granted, the control module wirelessly transmits a reply to the control device, the reply including operating parameters that enable the control device to selectively control one or more of the vehicle security systems, wherein the control device selectively controls a first vehicle security system of the vehicle security systems in response to the user or another user inputting, via the input means, a tag identification of the first vehicle security system and a command to be performed by the first vehicle security system into the control device, mixing the tag identification with a base identification of the database to generate a unique identification of the first vehicle security system at the control device, and then, wirelessly transmitting, from the control device, the unique identification and the command to the first vehicle security system, wherein the command is performed if the transmitted unique identification matches a unique identification stored in the first vehicle security system.
