    good idea but what if someone is 1 step ahead of you and have already made these pigtail's for the honda/acura and just plug there's in and boom - cranks your car and drives away! I had a kill switch nicely hidden on one of my integra's and it was nice.. Just have to find a crazy place to put it!!!! But, hey def. get props for trying to keep whats yours.. ++2

    What are the chances they would be using the exact pigtail jumper that you used. To the OP, it is a very good idea but a lot of people would grow tired of popping the hood to unplug it every time and would eventually say screw it. A hidden kill switch is nice, but if you are a pro thief the first thing you think of is a kill switch when the car wont start, and there are only so many places you can hide a switch and still get to it yourself. IMO the best way to go is GPS tracking and a good Alarm system with a fail safe that will shut the car down if the car or alarm is tampered with.
