Hidden Jeep kill switch anyone?
Does any one have a hidden kill switch mod that a do it yourself guy can do? Just something basic that kills the power to the starter and acts as an anti-theft device? I have seen one on a car where you push the cigarrette lighter and it kills the power to the starter. With all the crafty modders on here, someone must have a low buck, do it yourself, anti-theft kill switch Jeep mod to share!

Battery quick disconnect? The little twist ones you use on like boat batteries? If your worried just pop the hood and unhook. Seems simple and a theft wouldn't think to check the battery I don't think.

Seems like a bit much? Dont all JKs have chipped keys anyway? Plus a night switch would reset your clock and stereo every time too.

That's what was going threw my head, the chipped keys. But he asked, so I gave it my simple idea lolb

My 2009 JK doesn't have a chipped key, just the old fashioned chipless kind.
What does your key look like? Both of these have a transponder chip. http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/y...enx/Jkkeys.jpg |

I'm pretty sure your JK requires a key with a transponder in it.

It looks like the gray key except it says Jeep on it. I didn't think there was a chip in there. Those sneaky little bastards at Chrysler are at it again! The chip prevents unauthorized starting through the ignition I assume, but it wouldn't stop a "hot wiring" Jeep thief would it??
I suppose any security system can be defeated. I have heard of little devices that can fool the system. |
