Looking for a run lock or system that allows the engine to run without the key in.

Long story short, security issues. The term "run lock" seems to be a UK specific term, and I can't find a US equivalent. Anyone have recommendations for specific brands of a keyless system?

What I'm looking for is something that can be easily installed with a switch that you hit before removing the keys, and once you remove the keys the engine keeps running for a set amount of time.

We had one in all of the Crestline brand ambulances that we ran in Seattle. The Leaders had it too. I'm sure it's a simple plug in module.

Yeah, I'm sure it is too but "run lock" is apparently a British term and beyond the link above I can't find US versions because I don't know what they are called. Google "run lock" gets me a ton of websites in the UK and nothing helpful for the US.

How about calling Leader or Crestline on Monday? I bet somebody in sales can fill you in.

Because I don't work Monday, and it's a strange question and it is a little hard to call and ask something like that when I'm not officially representing the company. "Ummm, yeah, hi, I'm some random paramedic who has no authority who is pissed at the poor implementation of a policy. What device do you use to keep your ambulances running without the keys being in the ignition?"

It's a Kussmaul anti theft device. I just called a buddy who fixes ambulances. http://www.kussmaul.com/091-174.html

This guy didn't read the thread.
I talked to our dealer, he said Braun (our ambulance Mfr) may have made the product. Here is another link that works on fords.

Lol, he was trying so I wasn't gonna mention it.

You are my hero, thanks a ton. And now I know the American name for it, secure idle!

No, I read the thread. I actually CALLED and spoke to someone who purchases and oversees repair on fleet ambulances. All of the anti theft on the Crestline trucks are Kussmall, and the new Leaders are all being speced with the Kussmall anti-theft. And they make several different models, for all brands of vehicle.
