Device for vehicles that includes an electrical cable mat (1), an ignition
lock (11, 16), and an antenna (9). The antenna (9) is arranged
adjacent to the ignition lock which interacts with a transmit/receive device. The
antenna is further arranged to communicate with a key (25) dedicated to
the ignition lock (11, 16). The antenna (9) is directly electrically
integrated into the cable mat (1) thereby enabling the ignition lock (11,
16) and the antenna (9) to be assembled into one unit by means of coupling
means (20-22). An electrical cable bunch for a motor vehicle is also provided
intended to interact with an electronic antitheft-system including an antenna for
receiving signals from an ignition key dedicated to the vehicle and an electronic
unit which processes the signals from the antenna with the antenna being integrated
contactlessly in the cable bunch.
