not sure where this thread goes but does any one know of any articles/ references for kill-switches?

5.0s are generally in good shape in cali, wouldnt want mine to get robbed. already have a viper alarm i dont think thats enough though..goal is to install a killswitch on my lx where only i know where it is.

Any good car thief, isnt going to be stopped by a kill switch.

If they want your car, they are taking it.

Lol. Agreed. A kill switch will not stop a tow truck. (Or whatever they can afford to use these days.)
