I think a switch on the power to the fuel pump relay would be better. But this is a good idea for a non mechanically inclined person.

[@tomcampbell6384]

But Newer cars can't be wo battery power for long. Not sure what side effects that'll cause

[@lexicase8805]

Great if you dont mind resetting your clock and stereo every time you want to go for a drive... also super easy to bypass just throw something metal between the contacts and start the engine. I think this is more suitable for a holiday vehicle where leaving it connected for long periods drains the battery, so disconnect is the way to go.

[@gamerman276]

Better to use it for parasitic battery drain

[@johnashley646]

this is definitely a thing, but they wanted over $1000 dollars to fix my electrical battery drain problem in my beater 2003 s10... lol

[@Meneiitoo]

But what happen if the theft open the hood can turn on manually or the alarm from the car will sound ?

[@cheshirebowman4465]

You can buy same one with no buttons on it.

[@Meneiitoo]

@ I buy it and only use it for like a week and the kill switch was killing my battery and making electrical issues in my car

[@georgehooper670]

I purchased this for a 2009 Corvette (not installed yet) which drains the battery even to the point where it cannot be recharged if not driven on a regular basis. So if it sits for 2 months this seems to be a solution. Then when it is time to recharge the battery should this be disconnected? Regards

[@rvr2]

Yes, it should completely disconnect the circuit. I also use a solar trickle charger for my truck to keep my battery charge topped off.

[@snwbm]

You should never leave a car for 2 months without a battery tender anyway.

[@xVeRSeii]

What's the range like on the remote

[@rvr2]

I don't know.. It doesn't specify this in the product description. It works well at close range.

[@xVeRSeii]

@@rvr2 what about say 20/30 meters away?

[@rvr2]

@@xVeRSeii Again.. I don't know.

Useless for anti theft, but great for people like me who only uses my car ( Honda C-RV ) once a week , and the battery is always down, especially in the winter. I only have to press three buttons on my entertainment / sat nav etc which takes about 10 seconds, so not a big problem, and my flat battery problem is solved.

[@a4kata655]

Did that works??

[@3abbersabeel]

Hi please try to explain to program ing it i tried but not work well dont know how program ing it

[@firmbeliever3847]

If a thief pops the hood they can just override the kill switch with the on/off button on the kill switch?

[@christophermcdonald188]

Well for my car the battery is in the trunk in the fender above the wheel well. So to get to that you cannot open the trunk with a key. So you’d have to open the car pop the seats down climb through a hole with a flashlight pop the side panel and fine the switch. It’s a little coupe so it’s not as easy as an older full size vehicle

[@mathijsdevries728]

This has some pros and cons. I purchased one to negotiate a slow battery drainage on my car, where it loses about 0.1V per day. Meaning it will be completely empty in just a few short weeks. However… The remote part of the switch uses power as well! I am still unsure as to how much, for I haven’t installed ad tested it yet, but I do fear I might have purchased a fix that may be just as bad or even worse as the problem it was meant to solve… 😬 Ah well, it should at least help a little against theft and hopefully the power consumption turns out to be really, really low. One can always hope... 😇

[@d4rk1ink]

Just bought one for the same reason, did you ended up using it?

[@mathijsdevries728]

@ Not yet. I’m currently coping with a bluetooth battery guard, with which I’m still able to avoid excessive drainage. And I also don’t need to recode my radio, recalibrate my windows, etc. after each switch… 😊

[@kylechellino2579]

Is that your 99 Dodge?

[@rvr2]

Yes

[@faikkyfai4582]

Mine dad after switching off no more power in switch to wonder what i did wrong

[@jasonturner3871]

if this is done by remote it can be hacked.
