How to install a kill switch in a 2012 or newer?
Does anyone have a wiring schematic on how to wire a kill switch to the ignition or clutch switch? Jeeps are being stolen left and right from my area.

Theft deterrent.
On a more serious note I am looking to installing a simple start interrupt in my 2012 JK, I am dumb enough to shoot someone for trying to steal my Jeep so I guess I should make it harder to steal.

one thing that helps if you have the ability to lock your hood, a battery disconnect. I use the 'turn knob' style that hooks up directly to the battery 
edit: good addition for those of us without an alarm

With chipped keys, everything I've read is that it isn't needed. I've put immobilizers in all my vehicles and was prepared to do the same with my Jeep until I read about the chipped key being enough on the forums.
I did, however, add a flashing LED to the dash to discourage kids who don't know about the chipped key.

The immobilizer is its own kill switch. It cuts off the ignition, and maybe even the fuel.
Have thieves figured out a way to fool the immobilizer?

I was going to do the same setup in my JK but with chipped keys, not necessary. At least from what I've read.
