starter kill switch/ push start questions.
ok so me and my buddie were talking today about werid things for security on our cars and he came up with the idea to send the starter signal cable to a button on the dash that doesnt get used.. aka eitehr a/c button rear defroster etc etc.. the plan was for it to be like a kill switch / start button where the car wont turn over untill the button is pressed in completeing the curcuit.. lmk what u guys think and if u have herd or dun any thing like this to ur car.. sry bout the spelling its dark in here..

Nope, starter kills are useless on a 5 speed. I don't think I need to say why

This is true, my car was stolen a month ago even with the following starter kill setup. I'd still do it again though...but don't think that this is going to be all it takes to stop a thief.

The starter kill is deactivated by the positive output of the vehicle's horn relay and the horn's interrupt is deactivated by the positive output of the starter wire from the key. You could substitute the horn with other devices such as parking lights, brake lights, etc. where you do not want it to be obvious that you used the device to disable the starter kill.</TD></TR></TABLE>
