depends which circuit you want to tap into. Fuel pump, starter motor, ignition system, its up to you. the easiest (easiest to fit and easiest to detect) is the starter motor power wire. otherwise you could probably hide one well for the fuel pump.

see also the antitheft ideas wanted post
VLs are very easy to steal and are often stolen
it also seems that almost any VL key will open and start any other VL, due to wear in the locks over the last 20 or so years

i can say this isnt always the case,
ive got a vl na and a vlt and at least once a day ill jump in one and use the others key!
they do get pinched as i can say i have gone through a couple of door locks and ignitions with no hope losers try to start one of them with a screw driver and a bit of force, but with both haveing a alarm central locking and 3 point immoboliser all on black wiring good luck to them, thats the best protection and u can get some security set ups pretty cheap these days, with awsome add ons like motion sensors ( i got in vl turbo set up cost an extra $60) cameras that take pictures when the alarm go off, and all sorts of novolties like that.

make sure you put the killswitch in a good non obvious spot, with my last VL i had the killswitch on and the f**kers still took her from me

The killswitch for the injectors would be the best I reckon. Running to the fuel injection relay.

as said before 'if the basterd wants ur car that much he will take it, no matter what'

just a idea dont post details on your alarm/security sytems as there can be a low life reading this thread

there is many ways to do kill switches
in the ingition
fuel pump
gear selector
in a efi relay
starter motor
etc

just b wise where u hide the switch

find the cable u want 2 use as the switch, cut two cables taht are longer enuf to get from the kill cable to the hiding spot of the switch, cut the cable thta is to be killed, solder 1 end off the cable to it and solder the other cable to the other severd part of the kill cable, run the cables to the hiding spot of the switch, solder them on to a suterble switch, and mount the switch, cover all solderd points with duck tape (black recommended) and if wanting to hide the cable more tape bother of the cables to gether with duck tape so it looks factory at first glance.

dude if you want something easy to install, without posting the particulars on here, then chances are its going to be an easy one to crack!

yah agreed,
ive wrote out the basics on how to do it you have to just figger out waht cable u are going to use as the 'kill cable' and then wire up, if u are looking for the cable colours try in a manual as i know gregorys has a wiring diagram near the bak
