@@alexanderperisteris47 I have a remote relay which kills battery power completely. Without power you cannot start any vehicle. The problem is this removes all your presets. So I took a 12ga. Wire and ran it across from the battery to the relay. This keeps power on. I installed a 30 amp fuse. I don’t loose my presets. If someone got in even with the key and tried to start it the fuse would just pop. A wire that small cannot carry the amps you need to start a car. You also need to lock your hood so they can’t just remove it. I doubt they would even try but you never know. In my opinion the easiest way to defeat them is with very old school ideas.
@@alexanderperisteris47 it is a remote control that disconnects your battery from your engine. Once you have activated the battery remote control, the engine will not start even if the driver have the keyfob.
I have a car here in the Philippines and since I don't use it much, the battery died. So I pushed it down hill, ignition to on pos, popped it on 2nd gear.... no start. I had to charge the battery a little bit just so when I put it on ignition on, the fuel pump will run for 3 secs. But your Idea is correct though. You can still do the fuel pump. That's even harder to steal.
Great idea, except using it as a battery disconnect means you would have to reset things like your clock etc each time you use it. But the design on this one means it’s a remote disconnect relay. You could just as easily use this to remote disconnect the fuel pump relay or starter relay. Which would be effective for theft prevention and easier to hide if someone looked under the hood.
My cars stereo automatically connects to my cell phone to play music and use google maps. The clock and all other stuff stays normal. The only thing I have to do is when I reconnect my battery on my camaro is open my window and close it for driver side and passenger side one time. That is all. Everything is normal. I love the security it gives me and I have left my car for 30 days when I went on my vacation and when I came back, the car started right up. I also installed it on my 2021 tundra.

Disconnecting the battery would immobilize the starter and fuel pump and park brake release door locks and is the best way by far to immobilize the vehicle as nothing works including the OBD port. This is all great except the memory for window position for example would need to be re-learned every time the disconnect is used, Not a huge deal but consider there is also the risk of damage to the onboard computer from disconnecting and connecting the battery. Battery replacement is a fairly rare occurrence but if your in and out a dozen times a day you can see that you are seriously risking damage to a very expensive component in the car and if it gets fried your vehicle is bricked until it is replaced. Now instead if the battery disconnect switch was wired directly into the the starter the engine would not crank over. Not using as a battery disconnect but as a starter disconnect. This would be great for Automatic transmission equipped vehicles but manuals could possibly be bump started. This is where the battery disconnect switch wired in line to the fuel pump would not stop the engine from cranking but without fuel the engine will not start. Thing is in our efforts to protect our vehicles we can inflict damage on the vehicle and grief on ourselves in the attempt. I have been looking into ways to protect vehicles that are push button start and have come to understand that any modern vehicle is heavily computerized. This changes the game as any computer is very sensitive to surges arcs and shorts. If you don't think what I am saying is accurate that is fine but before you dive into theft prevention solutions do lots of research first. First thing would be asking your dealership about repeated disconnection of the battery and the possible risks involved. I don't post this to be a troll but understand that I would be furious if I thought something was a good thing, Installed it and it ended up costing me big money to repair.
You have a good point. I have this installed in mid of 2022 on my 2021 Toy Tundra Truck and on my 2022 Camaro SS. So far I have not had any problems yet. I will try to do a starter kill switch and a fuel pump in the near future.
@@machinemods Was not looking to rain on the video. I realize we need solutions that are effective. At the same time there can be serious consequences when modifying electrical systems in today's cars. Spikes in voltage is common when initially connecting of the battery. In fact I have to wonder if the switch would be better installed on the ground side rather than on the positive. I would need to look at proper installation procedure of the battery however I believe the ground is the first to come off when removing and last when putting it back in, Partially so the battery is not accidently shorted by a tool if it contacts a ground while on the positive terminal. A starter interrupt is great in automatic equipped vehicles as the thief can't kill the battery trying to start the vehicle. However even with access to the OBD port a fuel pump interrupt stops the vehicle from starting all together. So will work with both Automatic and manual transmission. Another possibility to include would be the park brake system. This is electronically engaged and disengaged. I know if you put the manuals into gear with the park brake on the computer will signal the brakes to release if you try to move the car. If a person could find that system and disable the release signal it would also make the car more difficult to move. They couldn't release the park brake and push it away from the home. The park brake and fuel pump would be a good combination I would think. I may go that route but incorporate 2 relays run by a remote disconnect. This way the remote kills both relays for 2 different systems. On the relays are energized, Fuel pump and Park Brake are in circuit. Park and turn the car off get out and lock the car up then activate the disconnect disabling the fuel pump and brake release. So that is my plan thus far but I need to look a little further into it. The nice thing with including relays is you can add even a third relay if there is another system you want to disable like power to door locks as an example. Even the transmission park release circuit can be used ( You must push in the brake to release the shifter to get it out of park in Automatic ) Clutch must be pressed to start a manual ) Open those wires with a switch and either the vehicle starts but don't move ( can't get out of park ) or the engine will not crank over. There is lots of ways to make the vehicle immobile.
If your relay fails while driving, your engine will shut off. That is why I am hesitant to do the fuel cut off. Unless I can find a reliable relay? If you want, I can make a video on how to make a basic cut off kill switch.
Return it and get another one. 1 failed on me, it would not start my Tundra. At first, I thought my battery was discharged. But it was the poor contacts inside that relay. Now, it is working fine.
When my phone connects to my infotainment, it updates the date and stuff, except for the radio station presets. Right now I am developing another killswitch of my own. Let me know if you're interested.

This is a huge downside to this device. It is just a "Dumb" device, not sophisticated enough to prevent other issues and problems.
You can still push start a manual, no battery needed. I want to do a fuel pump kill switch

You need ignition for the car to stay on my guy and ignition comes from the battery especially in these newer cars like the camaro
True.
@1985GrandPrix yes it does. The only thing I reset are both of my windows. It ask me to roll down and roll up.
Not if the Electronic brake is engaged, can’t turn it off unless the car is running
Man I should’ve did this my Camaro ss got stolen and haven’t gotten it back
I feel for you. I did this so if I get held up at a gas station, I can give them the keys but it won't start.
