Harleys Riding With Remote Security

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla.--Don’t even think about stealing a Harley-Davidson! Now new technology can help find it.

Now, Motorola’s CreataLink 2XT two-way wireless data transceiver has been integrated into a security device designed exclusively for Harley-Davidson motorcycles. The new security device, called GPS Vision by Immobiliser Inc., helps deliver wireless remote control and tracking to Harley-Davidson owners, which can give them the ability to track their bike’s location and even control its ignition.

To help protect against theft, the GPS Vision (which is installed in the bike) has an alarm system that can automatically send an alert to the owner’s compatible personal messaging device (or pager) when someone tampers with the motorcycle. Using his/her compatible messaging device, the owner can then send wireless remote control commands back to the bike--triggering a siren and flashing lights--immobilizing two electrical circuits. To aid in the recovery of a stolen bike, users can track the location of their motorcycle through a compatible PC or by phone through a 24-hour control center.

Harley-Davidson owners can communicate and deliver remote control commands to the GPS Vision via the Internet or other web-based wireless devices (such as Motorola’s Timeport P935 two-way personal interactive communicators). The Immobiliser product is the patented alarm system that fits the original factory wiring of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. It is durable, protected against heat and vibration, and is 100 percent waterproof to withstand the elements, according to the company.
