How would you do it (Security)

[VS 5.0]

The electrified door handles from the Rezvani Tank would be a nice retro fit item.

Could they be hooked up to the South African flamethrowers mounted under the door sills?

Just get yourself a Trunk Monkey

No average dumb car thief will have a flat top/bed tow truck,
In saying that, the fuel pump on a VE is controlled by a"Fuel Control Module"
This is located under the Battery seat/bracket in the boot, [or trunk, careful of the trunk money tho !]
You don't want to mess with any of the wiring with that, because it will throw a code and activate the MIL, then you need to get the fault cleared every time you disable the pump.
However, the Fuel pump cables are located under the back seat [drivers side], and the actual fuel pump wires are Grey and Pink, and are a heavy gauge cable, cant mistake them.
I am guessing you wish to disable the car by interrupting the supply to the pump,
the only way you can do that, is to have it switched through a relay that your accessory anti thief Key will operate, either 1 leg of supply, or both, your call how you wish to interrupt the 12 volt supply,
Keeping in mind, It will still start, and run for a short time with the existing fuel that is pressurized in the fuel rail, unless it has siphoned back over night, or pressure has been released.
Going by my post early in the year in January,

The polarity of the fuel pump Grey + [positive] and Pink - [Negative], and can draw up to 10 amps
By interrupting the fuel will be just like running out of petrol I guess, one can only assume,
and shouldn't throw a code and activate the MIL on the dash.
I guess, you could hide the relay adjacent the Fuel Control Module, then its hidden, Bit of a bugger to get to it if the relay goes faulty.
Or under the back seat.

Thank you for you positive post.

On my VR I put a 15 amp bulky key switch in the boot that is not far from the pump itself, this has been like this for over 20 years. This heavy duty key switch is not available now which is a BUMMER as it is reliable. Most Key switch now are only 2 Amp which is useless without a relay and as you said if the relay stuffs up you are toast so for reliably you keep it simple. Yes with the VR if you forget to turn the pump on the car starts and stops 2 seconds later, I like this because the thief thinks the car has started and he will get away with it UNTIL IT STALLS and wont start again.

YES!! the only thing that worry me is the VE might spit out codes and thus this post as I smell a issue by switching the Pump off.
Tell me what do you think about disconnecting the Ignition via a switch in series, do you thing it will spit out codes like if you try to start the car with the Ignition fuse taken out.

The other 2 options that come to mind
Is locate the Starter motor solenoid wire, probably just 12 Volts
or
the Auto Shift Inhibitor Wire/s, also probably just 12 volts, or a trigger signal.

Those SHOULD NOT produce a MIL.

Either way, let us know how you go at JC's, we may also wish to do similar to keep our pride and joys from the low life's.

People get around the Immobiliser but cannot get around that something that you did that is different. Put it this way I am a Licensed Electrician, I have put Plenty of burglary alarms in houses for 10 years and I can get into all of them but our house is different and done in such a way that even the expert will fail.

On a side note,
My Father had a toggle switch in the ash tray of his car years ago, with the Starter Motor Solenoid switched through it.
Being he didn't smoke, and if he parked in a suss location,
he 'd open the ash tray and flick the switch off,
and then flick it back on when leaving.
and he used it at night, because where he lived in Melbourne.

Assuming where they mean Oil Pump,
they mean Fuel Pump.
