it depends on what you want your kill switch to turn off so thieves wouldnt steal your car. i hooked mine up to the gas. very easy.

Ignition is easy, but can get around it by push starting if it's a stick/hot wiring it. I would do fuel and hide it somewhere that you can easily flip getting in and out of the car, but not obvious.

layering is the best way to do this- that is, multiple switches on one or more circuits. put a few switches in different places. set things up so that the car will only start if all the switches are on. be sure to get creative, you're trying to outsmart guys who think about this all day every day.

I lol'ed at that....SERIOUSLY!

But hey, reverse psychology does work sometimes. A thief maybe wouldn't think someone is that dumb enough to mount a kill switch right in plain view.

I personally think that a best kill switch would be to convert any of the stock dash buttons to a kill switch. Who the hell would think to push the cruise control button to start the car? lol

Here is like the one I have installed on my Civic. It has a removable "key". Unless they want to do a long search to rewire the ignition then they aren't going anywhere.

the best kill switch is one you never see, and more than one.

then again having a row of 10 switches in plain site, and having to have a combination of on/off to get the car to run would be just as frustrating. (especially if the wrong combo starts sounding sirens that are located under the dashboard)

i know i almost pissed my pants when i saw that picture... some people. lol

yeah its a pretty good idea to do it through a button like the cruise. but how does that work. like just torn on the cruise start your car. turn off cruise or what? would you still be abel to use the cruise control?

I asked about installing a kill switch and was told to put a switch between the ground wire on the main relay.Works great .

Heres what fcm told me if it helps:

"
As mentioned, install a switch on the ground lead to the PGM-FI Main Relay, "main relay" it is located above hood release, this may help... http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/mainrelay.html

The PGM-FI Main Relay is actually two relays in one "box", it supplies power to the fuel pump, [fuel pump relay] controled by the ECU/ECM, it also supplies power to the fuel injectors, [injector relay] along with one of the powers to the ECU/ECM and a few engine sensors and power for the fuel pump relay, [internal].

Installing a switch on the PGM-FI Main Relay ground, [ground for injector relays coil] will cut power to all the above, fuel pump, injectors, ECU/ECM and engine sensors.

It is a low current ground, [less then 250mA] so a very small, [easily hidden] switch can be used. 94"
