I want a kill switch that operates like a remote door switch .. I could then
put the switch itself someplace really well hiding and just click the switch
when I leave my car ...
I bet the statistics for cars that were stolen with a club in the back seat
or a kill switch that wasn't engaged is really high .. but witht the remote
.. it would be so easy and effortless to engage ...
