    Question Where to put a kill switch?

    Has anyone installed a kill switch on their VT-VX?

    If so where did you put it or where is the best place to put it?

    a mate of mine had his wired up to the MODE button. you had to be holding the mode button down to start the car.

    or if thats too much of a head**** then instal a driving light switch in your dash, the one that holden supply with their kits and wired that as the kill switch. It wont look out of place and unless a theif looks to see if you have driving light and then notices that there is a button for them all within the time they r trying to flog your car then your unlucky.

    thats an idea too...

    In previous cars ive had I used to put it either under the centre consoles corner or under the dash. These days its just getting too obvious in those places.
    Most cars now have them built into the brake or clutch but thats too obvious aswell.
    I like the idea of the mode button

    old man had it hooked up to the tail gate lock in his old falcon wagon so you had to press the lock tailgate before you could start. i like the idea of the mode button.

    have read about some "valet mode" in your pcm that will run a max rev/speed limit when its on.
    good if you get your car serviced at workshops, suspension places etc.
    and you can chase your car if you hear it start up and take off
