Abstract
A new vehicle anti-theft system for preventing theft of motor vehicles. The inventive device includes a module which is mounted within the vehicle's dashboard and which is connected to the vehicle's electrical power system and the vehicle's ignition system, and an audio unit which releasably connects with the module and which includes an electrical connection associated therewith which connects the electrical power system to the ignition system when the audio unit is connected to the module thus permitting the vehicle to be started. When the audio unit is disconnected from the module, the electrical power system and the ignition system are disconnected which prevents the vehicle from being started until the audio unit is again connected to the module.
