Scotty, I love the fact that you not only narrate...but use sign language for the deaf!

You could install a fourth button in a very obvious location. The fourth button actives and locks on extremely loud sirens inside and outside the vehicle, powered by independent batteries. The loud sirens make it impossible to physically be inside the vehicle, unless the criminal also happens to be deaf, which is very unlikely. Just make sure to never press that fourth button yourself!

Back in the 1990s when I was into tinkering on older muscle cars I bought a high-end coil. The coil came with a micro-switch that you could engage when you parked you start and left it. It was basically a kill switch BUT it worked in a manner that you didn't know there was a kill switch.<br><br>If it was toggled you could start the car and it would run perfectly for about 15 seconds. Then it would start missing every now and then for about 30 seconds. After that it would get worse and to the point that you couldn't even accelerate anymore. Finally, after a total of maybe a minute it would die. Turn the key off and start it again it would run rough for about 5 seconds and then die. The third time it wouldn't let you start it at all.<br><br>It made the car act like it had some issue going on so rather than you looking for a kill-switch you just give up and leave. If you managed to get it into gear as soon as you started it and drove off you might end up a couple hundred yards away at the most.<br><br>I loved that thing....until I forgot that I had it and ended up being almost 30 minutes late to work. I checked everything until I remember that stupid switch, jumped in the car, toggled it and fired it right up.

Magnetic proximity switches switches work well too. My friend put one under the headliner and you had to stick a neodymium magnet in the right place over it to close the contacts.

Great idea but just use a magnetic switch and you carry the magnet in the key ring to trigger the hidden switch in your car. No visual switches to be seen, no two or three inline switches...much much easier

In conjunction with this system... install or use the obvious RED start button, hooked up to the continuous horn/ car alarm. <br>The moment a thief hits that button ,they lose the element of stealth, and all that racket draws attention to them. Nine times out of ten within seconds, they're outta your car and sprinting down the road 😂

If I catch a thief trying to steal my car I just push my Smith & Wesson button.

Over here in the UK, I'm using the Autotech Ghost 2 in my Jaguar. No need to install any buttons -it detects a sequence of buttons pressed on the steering wheel, windows or radio, etc, in a preset combination.

I built something years ago that did a similar job. Mine was based on a button the thief doesn't want to push, the horn! To operate mine you had to turn the key over to start and hold it there and then press the horn to crank the engine. Had to let go of the horn button first because if you let go of the starter button then the horn would start blowing. It all used a couple of standard automotive relays, so it was cheap and blended in to the stock wiring.

I have a kill switch but you have to know when to press to button and know how long to pause it before it starts. I usually count and I know when to release the button and it works all the time and I installed it on my vehicles over 10 years ago with no problems. Family knows the sequence too with no problems.:yougotthis:
