A vehicle security system is for a vehicle of a type including a data communications bus connecting a plurality of vehicle devices. The vehicle security system preferably comprises an alarm controller and a data bus adaptor connected between the alarm controller and the data communications bus. In particular, the data bus adaptor preferably implements a desired signal enabling feature for enabling the alarm controller to operate using a desired set of signals for a desired vehicle from among a plurality of possible sets of signals for different vehicles. An alarm controller bus interface is also provided for interfacing to the data communications bus. Accordingly, the desired signal enabling feature permits the alarm controller to communicate with other vehicle devices, such as a vehicle security sensor and/or an alarm indicator via the data communications bus. The security system is thus advantageously compatible with many different types of vehicle data communications formats or protocols. Moreover, the data bus adaptor permits existing conventional alarm controllers, for example, to be readily used with newer vehicles including the data communications bus. The data bus adaptor may be used with remote keyless entry and remote start controllers, and also for vehicle sensors or indicators.
