Yeah, I would go with the starter circuit myself. Playng around and potentially screwing up the VATS just don't feel right to me....

Maybe try to run the switch wiring to a small rocker switch in the center console (if she has one). I'm just trying to think of a place it would be easy to reach, but hard to see.

I did this to an old 70-something Cutlass I had. But I used the floor dimmer switch for it. Lost the High Beams, but nobody could start my car but me....

just be 100% triple sure they never find out about it...then you'd have to rewire the silly thing all over again. definitely sounds like a discipline prob. if i had kids...and they ever did that to me...i'd call the cops. a night in the clink would leave a lasting impression.

What about something like this to keep them varmints from starting the car. You have to enter a code in this keypad before you can turn the ignition key

see yah that keypad is a great idea, or something like a keyed switch...but the kinda key you cant copy..then she can hide it, but that keypad sounds even better...nothing that they can find...lol

in my opinion a keypad is WAY too easy to get around. pull it out, jump the correct wires. and you have yourself ignition. how hard is that?

a hidden switch tucked under the dash is a much better choice because if they dont know about it, they cant use the car.

putting it under the driver seat would actually be a good idea. That way the driver doesn't have to "reach" down below the dash and give away the general area that the switch is in. I know I can touch under the seat w/o bending/leaning over.

how about the club???



or if your cheap like me use a mouse trap and some duct tape on the gas pedal

Good idea. Remember, they are only trying to DETER a couple of kids from taking the car for "a joy ride". Not trying to prevent a professional thief from outright stealing the car.

of course better means of security should be taken in order to prevent theift but the club should suit "junior" just fine
