Car Kill Switch ~ Affordable ~ Simple Install ~ Guard Against Theft 

Flukin Remote Kill Switch on Amazon, linktw.in/VbLNoP

I installed two switches. One for the actual starter relay disconnect, and one that I placed where thieves could find it fairly easily that hits the horn when switched over. No attempts yet but I hope I’m around to watch their reaction.

NOTHING beats a deeply hidden analog switch on the fuel pump, but you have to remove interior to do it right.

To everyone wondering about resetting the radio and other ill effects of killing all the power over and over - Here's a really simple solution: Install a small fuse (15A or so) across the terminals as a bypass. Memory will be saved. Lights and electronics will still work. Trying to start the car will blow the fuse and kill all power, but the rest of the time all the electronics will be powered whether the kill switch is active or not.

I wish I would’ve seen this a week ago! They broke in and stole my car with the same kind of car. Thank you for the video and info

I had this installed after the mechanics said figuring out my parasitic draw would be way more expensive since it was a Hyundai. Its working well so far.

Great info. I need that for my daughter's car who lives in Chicago. She has had her car stolen twice!!! She has moved to a better area now, so things have improved for now.

I’m concerned that these kill switches might work on all the same frequency allowing a thief to obtain one remote that will work with all kill switches and make that part of their approach is to press the on button on the remote any time they are about to enter a vehicle.

this and a hood latch lock is a perfect combo

They open the hood, use a 10 mm wrench and take off your 'kill' switch. A better solution is to install an ON-OFF-ON toggle switch on the starter line along with the loud horn. If they try to start the car they will get a loud 120 dB horn ringing in their ears.

Thanks for the video, because I drive the SAME MODEL, and my ride was pilfered. It's still in the shop. I am absolutely going to get this and install it because I am NOT going to let them take my wheels again

Great video and product! You may want to check the tightness of the terminals though. At 1:05 as you're pointing to the car's wiring, the battery terminal rotates slightly on the device.

You could go as far to relocate the hood release systems so they can’t access the battery or second small battery and add remote hood release or relocate main car battery to trunk in the in end great thieves really want it they’ll just tow it so in that case hidden gps or a apple air tag could do the trick . Great vid

I used a button in my car that already exists in the car, that way everything looks original, I put it with a relay in combination with the key, and it has worked for me for years

I always thought about filling the airbag with buckshot - but don't make a mistake 😟 😂

That's flukin good! You could make it even harder by wiring it to the fuel pump.

This is not just for anti-theft measures but also it prevents parasitic draw from your battery from happening as well. It’s basically killing two birds with one stone.

Going to try this with my new Scat pack charger. It seems perfect especially since I almost always use remote start

Do a Charles Bronson movie antitheft artifact, a plywood with a bunch of nails on the seat, with a seat cover on top lol

Do you have a video on how to install that kill switch?

Cool! Got some gremlins sucking power in my truck. This will work great!

I dont like this option as when your modern cars (2020+) gets the battery disconnected, your radio and fuel air ratio has to recalculate. Some newer cars even need a code to get the radio back and some even need to be reinitialized by a scan tool.

Had a customer bring one in and I used a jumper wire to bypass switch jumper cable from the ground to ground post bypassing switch

I installed a remote shotgun so that thieves will become a smoothie surprise

This is a nice product but I would have to reset everything whenever I kill the power. I think a kill switch between the starter relay would be better.

What happens everytime you disconnect the battery thru this switch , where the radio and presets get lost everytime you engage it ? Not saying it’s still not a good thing but it could get aggravating to to reset everyth8ng eachbt8ne , I’d rather disconnect the starter or fuel o7mp than having to reset my controls from where the power has been lost .

Good video, I like the comment about adding a fuse that'll blow when starting. But, why are the theft devices only for electrical disabling, does any company make a kill switch for the fuel system?

nice video but it would be better if you find a way to hide it with extended wires. but overall a good way to buy time for you to catch the thieves

what about the alarm that relies on the battery? Thank you for your video

You are a great brother!

Yea my Hyundai got stolen a month ago and now I got to replace a broken window and turn signal/wiper stock also gotta re tint the window. Now I’m going to buy this kill switch. Because it also cost me the money I had to pay when the cops got it towed so it was t just laying in the street. I’m also going to put a sticker in my car saying it has a kills switch installed lol so they don’t even attempt to break into it.

I wouldn't press the OFF button after the perp drives off. The car will looses some control, and if the perp is injured, you may be held liable.

That's neat, be praying fob battery doesn't die though 😂

Just what I was looking for. Thanks.

Thanks! I just hooked mine up today.

Do you have to re program everything every time you get in it? Or does it just disable the ignition Module?

I have a similar type device i installed on my car remotely disconnecting the battery from the vehicle.Would like to add second one to the wire from the alternator that runs the car.To shut the engine down if my car was running and someone attempted to try and drive off with the car.The device works great.

doesnt that mean there would be no car alarm?

I really like this product cause even when there is a short circuit just turn it off and that it is

This looks very usable and a well priced product, but don't some systems in the car hate having the 12V disconnected for long periods? Radio, etc...?

Very nice one issue would be killing the ECU Everytime & then having it to cycle back up over & over plus the load on that the switch is huge off the battery post plus its in view. I would rather catch the starter control circuit or the fuel pump would work best underneath the vehicle cut into the circuit hell they are not going stop & jack the car up plus to crawl on the ground looking all over LOL😂

Can you use it on the fuel pump? To save from having to reset clock ect.

Good stuff. What's the range though? How far can yours reach?

Only downfall to this is, it also disables all your car's security features... I would instead figure out how to use this in line with your ignition/fuel system

Does it HAVE to be directly connected to the battery pole? I might be giving an uneducated opinion here but, seems like the easiest solution is to rout the negative cable and the smaller cables as far as they goe and hide the box in a very hard to reach place.

The problem with that kill switch is that it will reset your car stereo and clock and you'd have to reset it back. Also it will disengage your car alarm. It would be better to add a deterrent like a steering lock or steering and brake lock. Or just get a car with a stick shift instead of an automatic transmission.

Thank you for the info, solved issues on 2 vehicles.

Perfect idea for a car with a electrical short

I would use this but instead of installing on the battery, I would splice it inline to the starter relay and/or fuel pump relay. Same anti-theft effectiveness with losing power to the factory alarm or losing all memory settings. Plus easier to hide then if someone looks under your hood.

Whenever i engage the battery to my car using the remote ,the car alarm trips on and you need the alarm remote itself to cut it off ,or redisconnect the battery to car connection.

So if you've got Keyless entry still grab your keycode from your remote control key.But they can't get in the car because there's no power to it could idea in theory

Best solution take off your steering wheel every night or if you have a bit of time on your hands, just take the engine out every night, and put it back in the morning!

Won't this cause the loss of all memory like radio settings, power seat/driver settings etc?

Only problem I see is that every time you use the kill switch and re-start the car, the ecm will go through a re-learn procedure making driving a little funky for a while. And all radio and other settings have to be re-done.

I’m installing one on my work van you have to have a key to open the hood so I hope that stops or slows them down because my van doesn’t even have a chip/transponder I might Also install a key pad I carry 50k In equipment but no one can get in the back because of the electric deadbolt locks that requires a special fob/PIN code

This is a great idea for a carjacking…As the lowlife is driving away and is in the intersection kill the switch call 911.

I just bought a sweet challenger scat pak RT two days ago and already have had people try to steal it

Can we hook this up to the fuse panel in the engine bay? Is that a better option???

Bad idea, all preset and computer monitors well be clear every time . Also the battery cable is bigger then that small strap.

if your car has jumper cables they could just fix it in 30 seconds. attach on side to the battery and the other side back to the original cable and shut the hood

No need to put that on the main power at the battery which will reset the cars computer and lose radio station memory and clock. Instead, install it to the single (low amp) wire that operates the starter solenoid. The thief will turn the key and nothing will happen as if the solenoid is bad. There is no way a thug is going to diagnose that in the dark. Even the battery will appear to look normal with no visible modifications. You can also use this as an interrupt for the fuel pump/relay as well. You don't even need a key transmitter, just use a hidden toggle switch. This device is a great idea which can be installed at different points of the vehicle. You just need a good technician to do it.

the Brand is Kia or Hyundai but it doesn't matter. Also a better place to install is between the battery and starter solenoid. Also could be an issue with constantly setting vehicle codes by battery disconnects. And Amazon reviews on that FOB are not good, sir.

I'd prefer one that kills the power to the starter because when it's directly at the battery I would have to reset my radio settings, clock and all of the other personalized driver setting every time I switch it off. And, it will probably be a lot harder to get to if they open the hood. That being said, the one shown here looks like it could be installed at the starter instead of the battery.

Put a jumper wire with clamps on battery by passing the anti theft gizmo.

It seems like a great idea, except that your car radio, clock, etc. will lose their memory.

With late model cars do the same thing to the starter motor main power or switch wire. Because disconnect the battery not good idea with car full of computers.

The fact that it has a wireless key fob makes me not want this at all. Thieves are busy trying to get your key, it would be nothing for them to scan the kill key fob, too.

Thats all good, but some thieves break into houses and steal the keys to the car which will probably now have the remote for the kill switch,

No, it’s not protected because you can simply use a jump wire made of steel between battery contact to bypass that

They can bypass the actual switch with a jumper cable between the positive terminal to the starter cable. Fast fix. If they gain entry and pop the hood, it would only take couple seconds to do that with a jumper cable in your thief kit.

I like how he says he won't say the Vehicle name but it's obviously a Kia or a VW

The algorithm GIVETH! 👍

😊 If you haven't gotten around to installing the kill switch yet, simply remove the relay when you park.

Not just for theft my brothers Honda odyssey has a power power drainage problem only last half a day then needs a boost this would be quick inexpensive fix , I would have like to see more info on how it’s installed looks easy but that what I thought the video was about

What's the difference between the 250a and 500a? I have a hellcat if that matters... thank you.

What about just using a jumper on the wiring and going around the switch?

When you turn the power off to your battery does that have any effect on your computer when you reboot it back up? I know that some of the newer cars for real tricky about disconnecting lot batteries and hooking them back up especially then Mini Cooper

pop the hood and remove the switch. simple install and simple to remove.

Sorry, I wish this would work, but in looking at the connections, it looks like with an adjustable wrench I could just connect the cable back to your battery and it would bypass the kill switch. So if the car wouldn't start You could release the hood and check the battery. Wouldn't take but a few minutes to do. Am I missing something?

Thanks for sharing! Do you know if this would interfere if I also have a Tazer JL Mini (pin lock) installed?

It works I highly recommend 👍

God bless you sir 😇

They don’t have to disconnect anything they just need a piece of wire or a coat hanger to put between the two connectors that’s it.

I would love to see this with a proximity sensor instead

GREAT FOR A CAR THAT DOES NOT HAVE AN ECU. INSTALL THIS TO ANY CAR WITH AN ECU AND IT WILL DRAIN THE MEMORY, MEANING, WHEN YOU RE-CONNECT AND START THE ECU IS RESET TO FACTORY, MEANING WITH SOME CARS YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE WARM UP PROCEDURE, AND ANY LEARNING THE ECU HAS STORED IS LOST.

you can hide it, and route the battery cable to look normal

Hi. Can you please do a video with instructions showing how to install the switch in a hidden place?

install it on the fuel pump instead... that way your radio won't need to be reset each trip

Such a bad idea, if you wire in a physical switch and it fails you can hot wire it but if this fails you need to open up the hood and rewire your battery.

Simply connect your stereo directly to the battery and you can even listen to it without keys

Removing the fuse or relay that connects/disconnects your cars Ignition system is a simpler, more secure remedy in my estimation. Most modern cars have a dedicated fuse or relay that controls the electric Fuel Pump as well. Switching/replacing the good fuse with a BLOWN one is a great idea for deception.....Even if the car thief that just noisily broke a window & activated an Alarm to access the hood release latch probably won't be prepared to insert ANOTHER relay into the fuse block.....I realize that these methods may seem a hassle, but it's a very SMALL hassle compared to getting your vehicle stolen.....

Any problems with the Hyundais engine?

If that kills the power to your entire car that means your alarm is off

I'm wondering, if the kill switch is with a fob remote, can't they copy that as well at the same time as the key fob ? 🤔 Thanks 😊

Hey u forgot to say that the radio will reset to factory And u need to program your radio station .

My old Morris minor never had all of this propaganda, it always got me to where I needed to go, AND IT HAD A STARTING HANDLE !

a short bypass jumper cable with 2 clips is all that is ALL that a skilled thief needs to jump the positive battery terminal to the far side of that big remote controlled relay. MUCH BETTER to install a 3 channel remote controlled relay system that cuts off 12VDC power to the primary fuel pump relay, ignition module relay and starter relay. It can be installed anywhere near (even under) the engine compartment fuse box at the relay pins for primary fuel pump, ignition module and starter. The thief has no starter, no ignition spark and no fuel supply. That black plastic GDI engine cover was a dead giveaway and the car is a Kia Soul. I tossed my plastic engine cover into the dumpster, because it serves no useful purpose whatsoever. In fact, it actually traps engine heat!! My Kia Soul is a 6-speed manual, which will instantly deter at least 75% of all car thieves upon first gaze at my shifter.

How do you link in the Anti theft features you want to keep?

So that means everyday you need to reset clock radio miles

Does that mean you've got a set, your clock and radio stations again.
