Default RF starter kill (please read, not sure if exists)

Ok, looking to do something a bit unique in my car. Mostly a race car, but it does see some street use and from time to time goes out to meets and stuff like that. IE, possibilty of theft is small but still present.

I'm planning on gutting the entire dashboard and redoing in the ignition wiring. IE, the car will be turned on by a series of switches and will not need a key to fire.

What I am looking for is something similar to that on most 01+ cars. An RF style key or chip that will activate a module that will work as a starter kill. In other words, having something on my keychain that when I get into the car a module hidden under the dash will recognize the key and switch on a relay allowing me to start the car. Whereas without me in the car the starter wire will be interrupted and the car will not be able to fire alone.

Does anything like this exist? Even if it's a 10 second relay connection after pushing a button on a keypad. Just seems so simple yet I can't find squat. Any ideas?

We has this discussion a couple years back and found that the RF connection was flaky. If you are only using it on the starter then its probably fine. Find a robust RF TX/RX and you should be fine. In the case of what we were trying to do was intergrate it into the software code of the tuning softwares that were available at the time. There are other options out now like injector kill that did away with continuing this project.
