A device is provided that when in use, is coupled to a vehicle, and restrains the vehicle against operation unless it detects a Bluetooth or WiFi enabled phone. A computing facility can be utilized which sends a signal to a user if a tracking feature is disabled on the phone. A computing facility can also be utilized which sends a signal to the user if the device is uncoupled from the vehicle. The device can be adapted to be coupled to the vehicle through an OBD-II port, and to restrain the operation of the vehicle through control signals sent, for example, to disable the fuel pump, engine starter or an ignition circuit.
