I like that idea too....unfortunately in NYS we dont have the "castle doctrine" law, whereby we can use deadly force to protect property, such as a car if its being damaged, broken into or stolen.

I have a 12 ga. Benelli M4 on order which, unfortunately would land me in jail if I killed someone with it, who was trying to steal my car...

Pop open hood and take out the fuse to the MFI Relay. No fuel no starting and simple. The relay is the second to the last box in the very back if you are facing the car from the driver's fender.

haha this is just funny, its a good idea but you gotta realize you live in Idaho, i lived in spokane for 20 years and never saw much crime i dont think you need to worry about your car getting stolen...especially in Idaho

How about just a Over all Ecu Cut switch On or off for the ecu power. Hide the switch In a stupid spot they wont look in a rush... And its always good to have that to reset the Ecu for a CEL O_O So when you want it to be safe flip it to Off and when you get back in Turn it back on!

had this & it sucks, constant false alarms, when it trips, lo'jack has an automated message service that calls you & tells you to check your car. so you end up gettingquite a few long distance calls on your cell & typically your car is 2 ft away..... not worth the money or hassle IMO
