Abstract:
1. A remote control engine starting device for a vehicle for starting an engine when an engine start command is given from a remote location comprising: a remote engine starter; and an immobilizer, wherein said immobilizer comprises an activation signal outputting section which outputs an activation signal to a key cylinder upon receiving an engine starting signal by an IG key, an interrogating signal outputting section which outputs an interrogating signal to said remote engine starter upon receiving an engine starting signal from said remote engine starter, and an engine start permitting section which outputs an engine start permitting signal, wherein said remote engine starter comprises an engine start signal outputting section which outputs said engine starting signal and a code outputting section which outputs a remote engine starter code preregistered in said remote engine starter in response to said interrogating signal, wherein said immobilizer outputs said activation signal and said interrogating signal upon receiving said engine starting signal, determines whether or not a key code matches a preregistered code in said immobilizer upon receiving said key code output in response to said activation signal, and determines whether or not said remote engine starter code matches said preregistered code in said immobilizer, when said immobilizer receives a remote engine starter code output in response to said interrogating signal, wherein said immobilizer outputs said interrogating signal to said remote engine starter when said immobilizer receives said engine starting signal from said remote engine starter while said engine starting signal by said IG key is not being received, and wherein said engine start permitting section outputs said engine start permitting signal when said remote engine starter code matches said preregistered code in said immobilizer.
