If and when you do not push the button within the two second, you will not be able to start your car. You will then have to turn the ignition on and off agian (to allow another two seconds) to begin your start process againr. Once started, you can crank as long as like since it does not cut the starter.

Police reports found that the victim are more likely to be car-jacked with the victim put in the trunk and driven away with your own keys. With this configuration, drivers don't need to be reminded to arm the car before leaving. This device is one of the most practical and cost effective vehicle anti-theft measures. Designed for manual and automatics transmission.

Recent years have been a violent place living Northern California in a city of 200,000. One day my dad came home with a bruised eye and a stolen pick-up truck which was taken by force by bandits who blocked the roadway claiming their street as a no pass zone. The car was recovered at a gas station that left our family with haunting memories and shattered nerves. The same security system was used in this incident which was not helpful in preventing this crime nor did it capture the bandits but the pick-up was recovered undamaged. The best device in preventing such crimes like this is to lock your doors once you get into your car. Crime happens when you least expect it. Not only family and friends are hurt in these cases but the victim as well.
