Abstract: A wire-management module is configured to be installable to a vehicle having an operable system configured to be energized in response to operative connection between a first wire and a second wire. A user-authentication module is configured to transmit a wire-management signal including a wire-inhibit signal configured to indicate lack of authorization to use the operable system of the vehicle. The wire-management module is configured to be operatively coupled to the first wire and the second wire. The wire-management module has a signal input port configured to receive the wire-inhibit signal that is transmittable from the user-authentication module. The wire-management module is also configured to inhibit operative connection between the first wire and the second wire.

Abstract: A telematics device having a voltage drop detector and a switchable voltage monitor is provided. The voltage drop detector detects a drop in the battery voltage characteristic of cranking and notifies a controller. In response, the controller switches on the switchable voltage monitor for obtaining the battery voltage. The telematics device may be used in vehicles or other equipment powered by engines.
