Abstract
A system to control turning on an engine of a vehicle includes a relay and a detect circuit. The detect circuit is configured to detect a client device and, upon detection of a client device, to assert a signal indicating that a client device has been detected. Responsive to detection of the client device, the detect circuit generates a signal to cause the relay to close upon activation of a starter control in the vehicle to thereby cause current to flow to a starter motor in the vehicle.
