A simple but effective do-it-yourself anti-theft device. Such a device can be made quite quickly and simply. Complex and expensive parts will not be required, but, despite this, the device can be very useful in protecting your beloved “horse”. Currently, anti-theft devices have taken the path of complication, and even space technology is already present in their manufacture, but despite this, car security is still relevant. Car thieves also develop and apply the same modern technologies.
Perhaps this simple device will be the tool that will confuse the kidnapper, who hopes that everywhere there are "cool" anti-theft.
The scheme works as follows: anti-theft included. An attacker opens the door, turns on the ignition, starts the engine and is glad that he succeeded. But suddenly the engine stalls. He starts it again, but after 5 - 15 seconds (depending on how you adjusted the anti-theft device), the engine stops again and there is a feeling that there are problems with the fuel system. But he will not find a malfunction, since the time relay blocks the engine ignition system with a delay of the blocking time, and not the fuel one.
The proposed anti-theft device, in fact, is a relay with a delay time on.

Here is his diagram


The simplest anti-theft device

Parts are used for this device.
The simplest anti-theft device

  • Chip D1 - K176LA7 or its imported analogue CD4011.
  • Transistor VT1 - KT315 with any letter or import 2SC634, 2SC633, BFP722, 2N2712, BFP720, BFP721, BFP719.
  • Transistor VT2 - KT815 or BD 135, BD 139, BD 137.
  • Capacitor C1 - 33 MkF 25 volts.
  • Capacitor C2 - 10 - 20 MkF 25 volts. This capacitor is the time setting, this means that the time delay until the relay is turned on depends on its capacity. With a capacitor of 10 MkF, the time is about 7 seconds, and 20 MkF is about 15 seconds, but this also depends on the resistor R1, which is also a component of the time of the master circuit - R1 - C2 and the time also depends on its resistance.
  • R1 is about 300 Kom, but I set the potentiometer at 680 Kom in order to be able to demonstrate a change in the delay before relay Rel1 is turned on, depending on the value of its resistance. In the finished device, when you decide what time delay suits you, the potentiometer can be replaced by a constant resistance equal to the resistance of the potentiometer.
  • R2 - 100 Ohms.
  • S1 - any toggle switch, switch, which you like. It will be securely hidden in the passenger compartment.
  • A toggle switch is connected to terminal 1, and a toggle switch is connected to a wire that receives power after turning on the ignition switch.
  • Terminal 2 connects to the ignition interrupter wire. When the device is turned on, the anti-theft relay contact closes the breaker wire to ground and thereby shuts off the engine.
  • Terminal 3 is connected to ground.
  • It’s better to make the device on a breadboard, it’s easier and faster.

The device board must be placed in the case and filled with sealant to avoid mechanical damage and short circuits.

    The idea is not the worst, but I would call this scheme "goodbye catalyst." Similar jokes throws an immobilizer on honda. Catch a couple of times and goodbye kat. as the fuel does not burn to the end.

      Alexei, you must admit that the situation described by you will only be in case of unauthorized starting of the engine, i.e., when trying to steal. Now tell me, how many times during the entire operation of your car have your car tried to find out?

    And how will the electronic switchboard of modern cars behave, in which the output key is forcibly put to ground by this device? The author does not want to buy a new switch, I would have tried. And for even newer cars, this may be the ECU.

    The simplest anti-theft device! not approved by anti-human racial laws - this is a sharpened trihedral file mounted under the driver's seat !!! The height (depth) of penetration is set using a wooden handle! In the early 90's, not a single hijacker did not infringe !!! The main thing is to find a swamp thinner!

      Cool! But what if in a hurry the owner himself thumps with a start?

    Hello. Is it possible to sign the pin numbers of the chip?

    I made it easier, soldered the transistor in the switch, sealed 3 wires E, B, K, and installed a connector in the cabin near the ignition switch, there was a transistor in the mating part of the connector. You take out the key and the reciprocal part of the connector and you will not start the car.
