Harley Davidson: Smart security system for 2007 models

Securing your Harley will be more comfortable if you buy a 2007 model. All these will be be offerend with a new smart securtity system as a factory- installed option.

"We are excited to provide Harley-Davidson with a security system that provides a personalized package for the owner with some of the most advanced technology available," said Jugal Vijayvargiya, leader of the Delphi Controls & Security product business unit. "We believe motorcycle enthusiasts are going to love this new security feature."

This new technology eliminates the need for manually arming and disarming the security system. The new Harley-Davidson Smart Security System self-arms when the ignition is turned off and automatically self-disarms when the ignition is turned on and the all-new "button-less" key fob is present. The vehicle behaves like it has no security system to the owner, while it provides full security against any unauthorized person.

When the security system is armed, it disables the starter and ignition while monitoring the electrical system and vehicle motion. The system also shuts off the turn signals and fuel if the bike is tipped over. The owner can manually disarm the system using a personal identification number if the key fob is lost.

The security system works along with turn signals that automatically cancel after the motorcycle makes a turn. Delphi uses an accelerometer-based inclination sensor's output to determine when the motorcycle has completed a turn.
