Re: IML: remote ignition cut off switch

["Frederick Joslin" <fljoslin@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dan:

Be careful with an ignition kill system. You don't want it to "die" while you are driving.

Most such devices disable the starter motor to avoid this unpleasant possibility.

Why not get a real car alarm that will do exactly what you want. They can be had pretty cheap now and will work.
