Well do you actually need a switch? If not, create your own. Like have it set up where you need your left blinker on and foot on the brake to start it, or something crazy like that. (Of course that would be a pain to use all the time).

If someone wants to steal your car, the swith is not going to stop them if they can bypass the stock security system. If they get that far, then trust me, your switch won't be anything they can't figure out. Also, the car does not need to be turned on to haul it away

Stop watching Gone In 60 Seconds or Ghost Dog
