Just ordered one!!
Horrible idea. Period.
Disabling your car on any standard alarm is interrupting the starter line and NOT the ignition for a good reason.
Should you disable the car (either on purpose or accidentally) *OR* there's a system glitch that shuts the car down AT A BAD TIME (IE> someone or you driving and it shuts down in an intersection, on a major highway, etc) and someone gets injured or killed, you *can* be sued.
It's why companies such as Directed Electronics and others only do starter interrupts, and NOT ignition kills.
Personally I'd remove the relay from the ignition and move it to the starter (as the Directed SmartStart and the other system out there, Drone, do). This way even if something f's up, the car just won't re-start vs actually shutting down.

Ok.. Here is what I found out. Has real time gps tracking, geo fence, mph alerts, and starter kill. But after writing him he stated he attached the starter kill wire from the device to the ignition wire instead so it would shut the car off if need be. With all electronics I suppose there is margin for error but NO ONE but me drives my car. But I do see your point.
What relay are you talking about moving? The GPS system I bought has it's own relay that receives a satellite signal throught the GPS unit to shut the car off if it should ever get stolen or I can wire it to not restart after the thief turns the car off. Hmm.. Something to think about.. Thanks for the comment.
