Default Cut Off Switch

Any vendors up here have a good cut off switch. There appears to be a rash of f-body thefts lately and I for one do not want my baby taken out for a joy ride or parted out.

Can someone out there put together a GP for this type of device???

I had a friend that use to pull the fuses for a few things under the hood. Like the fuel injector fuses. I know it sucks to pop the hood, but someone trying to take your car more than likely isnt going to pop the hood and start checking fuses.

As far as a quick disconnect, you probably could get a remote battery turn on and wire it in the car somewhere. I know Summit sells them. It would suck to have to redo your radio all the time plus your pcm would reset as well as your odometer. There's aftermarket alarms with starter kill as well that would work without all the battery/resetting bs.

I'd go with pulling a couple fuses under the hood.

Just trying to throw out some ideas.

I was hoping for an enhancement to the current alarm or addition that would have a computer shutoff or fuel cut off.

i use the Club steering and brake lock. visually, it's usually an enough deterent. sure they can hacksaw the steering wheel and the brake lock, but most will skip your car due to the hassles involved.

pros will get your car, no question, but those thieves aren't out looking for cheap American ponycars that may only be worth $6-18k.
