Can a kill switch protect your car from theft? We take a look

[@therealguise5136]

$250-$350 for installing a $5 switch in 20 min. Looks like we found the real thief. 🤨

[@julian2wavy875]

Zip it it’s exposure to instal

[@marilynmelendez8256]

😂😂😂😂

[@arga1966]

Exactly

[@shaynelhta]

It takes 30 seconds to set a broken leg. But it'll cost you thousands of dollars...I guess the doc is a thief also!

[@Lex1uth3r]

😂 sure but most people have no interest in even checking their oil or washer fluid level. This is rocket science to them.

[@marshallcoleman8061]

Believe it or not some people have the gall to have your car towed away like its being repossessed. Once they get the vehicle they will take care of kill switches, alarms and etc.

[@taylorjalicia20]

Oh wow

[@MiguelDarkTiger]

At this point a tracker, kill switch and a law enforcement grade wheel blocker/tire clamp. Seems the most effective combo. I want to see them tow a car with front and back wheels blocked. But sadly when a thief really wants something they will scout it first and come ready for it. Even that effective idea only works against common scum.

[@Valdemar-Perez-III]

Thats where Airtags come in. Those fuckers saved me from having to buy another truck.

[@christophernava6685]

if they get past my kill switch and disabled fuel pump i have a tracker, trust me i care more about my truck than they do.

[@Patterson932]

That's amazing everyone needs to get that that help stop alots of carjacking around nation's thank u for doing a amazing job

[@MrTench8]

A 5 pin relay that directs the starter solenoid feed to a horn when the key is turned works a treat. Put a hidden momentary switch in to activate the relay before turning the key and the car starts as normal. Also leave nothing in your car and don't lock it and you will also escape the broken window!!

[@shaynelhta]

Nothing can fully prevent your car from being stolen. But kill switches significantly reduce the chances it will be stolen.

[@Avenue77]

Or take battery out...just make sure it's tighten when back on

[@christophernava6685]

cars can be started by power tool batteries I'm sure they carry them with them they are small and have lots of juice.

[@8176morgan]

I got a kill switch installed on my '55 Mercury coupe back in the mid 1980's and it worked just fine. But it only cost me $20.00. But I guess its a lot more now. Inflation, inflation, inflation. 😑

[@NinoElsKill]

dosent matter if they dont know where the switch is. my friend has one regardless if thieves know he has one they will never find it

[@GeorgiaWhisper]

901 Sounds just got the biggest plug ever!!! My dad had a race car that had 2 kill switches on back in the 80's and 90's. They really do work

[@ML-dl1cp]

I have a fuel pump delay I designed myself. My car starts normally, but if a hidden switch isn't pressed within two minutes of the car starting, the fuel pump shuts off and cannot be restarted for five minutes. I figure that way the thief probably already has the car on the road nearby and in view of the public when it stalls on him, and he'll probably just abandon it where it is. The thing with theft deterrents isn't to make your car impossible to steal, because where there's a will there's a way. The thing is to make your car more difficult to steal than the one parked next door.

[@AnnaMaria_1993]

How did you do this?

[@peter-gz9fj]

This delay is better for us here canada because we have to remote start the car to make the engine warm during winter. I hope you post a video on how you did it.

[@doughesson]

If only the vehicle could be given a key or something that lets the owner be the only person able to start the vehicle. How about doing a field test? Install kill switches on all WREG vehicles & leave them unlocked while the crew is off doing their story.

[@Valdemar-Perez-III]

Got my shit stolen in California and found it with an AirTag and it ended up being right by the Mexican border. Drove it home like a boss and took it to an audio shop right away to get a kill switch installed.

[@carlfalk7251]

That tag actually worked?

[@Tommygunn258]

​@@carlfalk7251Tags do work, but in case the thief is extra cautious and looks for one, make sure to have 2 or 3 taped under the vehicle or very inconvinent places

[@power4things]

This happens a lot ... they stage the cars at the border and wait for their "amigo" border guard to come on duty. Sometimes they find them before they cross over, because they're gone after that.

[@chargedmarketing]

why in the f dont people say to use airtags when offered advice on how to to secure your car

[@alvinellie]

AirTags usually make a sound. Alerting thieves. And a notification will pop up on their phone (if they have iPhone) 😕 Kinda defeats the purpose

[@tizedboy]

Thieves are also watching. Just saying.

[@joseolvera9287]

True lol

[@TheWeavingBagel]

No amount of watching will ever let them know where you hid your own switch.

[@pamelajohnson4011]

There are more then 1 kill switch Fuel line shutoff valves Car battery disconnect switches Remote control car battery switches Fuse box kill switches Ignition wire kill switches Most people go for the battery kill switch which is the one demonstrated in this video. Whether it be remote or not What's the danger of these if they shut off on you while you're in traffic or on the highway your screwed you lose all power steering and everything. The best one to get is the fuel shut off

[@peterle8951]

Losing your pwr steering at 60km isn't that bad. You can still steer safely towards the edge of the road.

[@kjam360]

[@billmcmeekin7909]

Does anyone realize what our society has come to be in North America? The real issue is having to put a remote switch in your car to begin with. We are too soft on most all crime now!!!!! Vehicle theft is illegal and needs to be punishable by hard chain gang labor!!!!

There are so many places you could install a killswitch on a car that a common thief isn't gonna sit there for 10 minutes trying to trouble shoot the ignition problem.

[@69A12SuperBee]

Tow trucks don’t care about kill switches.

[@joeldriver3971]

I have a steering wheel lock that cost less than $20 and I put it on the back of the steering wheel so nobody could possibly drill it off (or at least I don't see how they would be able to). You could also just pop off the top of one of your spark plug covers when you're leaving your car for the night. Makes it undrivable.

[@trash08]

they cut the steering wheel to slide it off lol.

[@chrismarek7864]

Unless the kill switch stops the engine from running in a more indirect way. I mean at this point in time, any savvy thief who knows to expect a kill switch and how to bypass it will almost always assume it's tied into the ignition circuit.

Fuel shut off is the way to go

A killswitch in the Owner's key. So when they get in and turn the ignition on, that will start the car. And thats when the owner has their key in the ignition/inside car. A thief wont be be able to start it without the actual owner's original key. And finding the kill switch won't be in the car

Wanna bet? In the 'old days' (1969-1980's) when all there was was the ignition lock, thieves yank the lock cylinder out of the column with a dent puller and start the car with a screw driver.

I don't think you know how they steal new cars, they take the key fobs signal with a duplicate key and program their key for your car and works like a charm I would recommend buying an RFID box or pouch that blocks the signal from your key fob so they cannot pick up the signal.
