I have seen several with switches in the line of the wires going to the
ignition switch.  Forget how many wires on the vw switch but there are
usually three.  One wire is the voltage up to the switch, then coming from
the switch are two wires. One with "run" voltage, and one that triggers the
starter solenoid.  If you leave the vehicle parked with keys in it and
turned on then you want to put the switch in the starter solenoid line.
That will prevent the car for getting voltage to the starter.
