why not put the kill switch in such a way that its activated by locking the
drivers door? All this means to you is that you need to drive with the door
locked. I am assuming that when someone breaks into your car to steal it,
they do not immediately lock all the doors. Therefor, if any door is
unlocked, the car is imobilized. Even if it was just set up on hte drivers
side (for those of us without central locking), all would be good. The other
advantage of this is, if the car is unlocked for some reason (you
forgot.....it happens), the car is now imobilized. And there's nothing
suspicious about just getting out of the car or locking the door when you
get in.
Thats how i'd do it.
