Re: IML: remote ignition cut off switch

["Daniel Richardson" <TheRichardsonFamily@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not really worried about the carjackers but, a way to immobilize the car 
from 300 feet could serve a few purposes.  I guess I didn't think of the 
possible accidental shut-off of an electrical kill switch, though.  Perhaps 
the whole burglar alarm idea is the best way to go.  Thanks for the thoughts 
everyone.
