Abstract
The paper proposes a novel car ignition system to replace the traditional wired technology and enhance vehicle security. This new system uses wireless transmissions to start the engine and hence eliminates the ignition wire behind the dashboard. It also allows the user to set a password of his/her choice to keep the system protected. A theft alarm that goes ‘’ON’’ when an unusual activity is sensed and/or when the wrong password is attempted to unlock the system is integrated in the system. Moreover, important factors such as economic feasibility, adaptability to the new vehicle technologies and customers’ preferences have been taken into consideration in the design of the proposed vehicle security system.

Summary
Car theft has become a source of concern in almost all parts of the world. This is, very often, the case of countries facing social crisis such as extreme poverty and unemployment. The user will have to apply the correct password in order to establish the wireless connection between the switch and an engine This is done by moving the key in car’s switch followed by the transmission of a special signal from the primary to the secondary unit, which on matching the correct password, will allow the car to start. This system is designed in such a way that other customized features can be added according to the consumers’ requirements These features may include a GPS and GSM system, camera for face detection, usage of android technology for controlling the car through a mobile phone. Such add-ons features will incur extra costs (Figure 4)
