I dont think anyone is stupid enough to reveal good hiding spots.

Just sit in your drivers seat and figure out a good spot where thieves wouldnt look.

i believe that's a relay. not exactly a switch. but same idea.

i hide mine - yeah right. only 3 people know. cuz they ride with me.

hide it in a spot a theif won't look...

places NOT to hide it

anywhere on center console/armrest
anywhere near glove box
under seat
anywhere visible from driver's seat
near foot area

just some places NOT to hide it.

its an ok idea, but you wouldnt want it anywhere near the keyhole... keys tend to swing around when you drive... i don't think immobilising the car on a high speed run would be a good thing...

You arm it by pressing a button.... you can place the button anywhere ya want, doesn't matter if the theif can see it or not because it won't do them any good. And according to the how-to even if they pull the battery it still won't start until the magnetic switch is activated.

It's the magnetic switch that you hide somewhere (undershift boot, behind dash, in door panel, inside seat, etc)

Going near the switch with a magnet won't do any harm unless it's armed bye the push-button switch, and as long as it's not wired to disable the fuel system or something similar arming it while driving shouldn't cause any harm.

i have seen very creative wiring in a few cars, for example using a oem cruise control switch, or fog light switch, but dont stop there! there is always new ideas to be thought of and use an alarm, autolock, kill switch, hood locks, and whatever it takes, thieves suck!!

Go to search and look up stolen and that should be your answer. Theives do roam this site and look for pics, areas and where your **** is in your car...not even posting pics would be a good idea but I know people will anyway.

may be a stupid question but what is the purpose of a kill switch?
I have never heard of this
