electronic repossession A device wired into the ignition of a used car that can prevent the car from starting. With dealers claiming fewer repossessions after installing them, devices may be remotely triggered after a series of flashing lights and beeps warn the driver a monthly payment is overdue. Other systems require drivers to punch in the code they have been given after making their monthly payment on time. Some units include a GPS chip that can send the location of the vehicle to the dealer, providing it is not parked inside a garage.There is typically a one-time emergency restart if people are stranded when the car is disabled. Companies such as Pay Technologies (www.payteck.cc) and Sekurus Inc. (www.sekurusontime.com) offer such products. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
