Does anyone know if you can install a kill switch in the cigertte lighter? I have a 1999 tib. If it has been done can someone post some pics for me.

Hmm..ive got some weird thing in my car similar to a kill switch i spose..When its off the car starter spins like it should start but doesnt start up..Im not sure how this could be done but i spose u could intercept the power wire from the battery that goes into the starter and put a switch from there, so the current running from the battery would never get to the starter if the switch is off..

I was curious as well and hopefully get some more information. Does anyone have kill switches in their cars? How easy would it be to install one?

You could just tap into the start wire from the ignition harness, check out webtech.

Which one would be the easiest to wire up? All are good ideas. Hopefully there are some electrical inclined people that can assist with that one.

well if you hide a kill switch, when you arent around your car, you turn your power off so that it makes it WAY more protected against car theft.
