I did a search and could not find anything. My question is, I'm looking to get an alarm installed and when talking to one guy at a local shop, he said he does not recommend installing the starter kill option because if you batteries dies or something, you'll have to bring it back to the store? Does anyone know what he is talking about?

Also it would be great if someone can explain to me how this starter kill thing works. Thanks.

A starter kill, [starter disable] is nothing more then a relay normally installed on the wire that runs from the ign. switch to the starter relay in your car, if you own a Honda/Acura with a standard transmission, you already have a kind of starter kill, it's called a clutch safety switch, you can't turn over the motor to start the car unless you step on the clutch, or in an automatic trans. unless its in park or neutral, when adding starter kill your just adding a relay, [safety switch] that is controlled by the alarm.

There are two types of starter disable NO, [normaly open] and NC, [normal closed], the starter relay in yout car is NO, [normaly open] if you don't step on the clutch the relay will not close and complete the circuit between the ign. switch and the starter motor solinoid. most alarms use a NC, [normaly closed] system, the relay is closed and will not be open unless the alarm is going off. 94
