Default Immobiliser to keep car from being STOLEN

I was trying to figure out the best way to immobilise my car so it couldn't get stolen. I want to shut down the ignition system as well as the fuel system (since manuals can be push started).
I came across this great easy DIY system that will do all that and the would-be-thief cannot find the switch, therefore cannot start the car even if you leave your key in the car.
You can buy all the parts at a Radio Shack for probably less than $30.

It sounds like a good plan! i hate Pikeys that try to steal stuff!
i suppose you just have to put the effort in to install it then you will be done!

it's a good ideal that's what i had to do with my last bmw. you had to activate the the light in the visor mirror to deactivate the kill switch.

If you want the best one, and inexpensive, check out my post about it. I would connect it to both your ignition and your fuel pump and your car will always stay put.

Don't get me started on thieves. Good luck with your immobilising man.

absoulute - When I helped my buddy wire one of these in to his car (wasn't a Honda), we wired it up to the wire going to the starter relay (under the hood), and also wired it up to the fuel pump (under the rear seat). This way, if a thief tried hot-wiring your ignition, they wouldn't be able to do it from inside the car, and even i they found out they had to hot-wire it from under the hood and did eventually get the car started, it would run outa fuel at the end of the driveway.
