Kill switch install from 41.22

I just replied to the purchase confirmation/FedX tracking number email from them.

The “we received your order” email is my latest.

Yes and it was that email I replied asking why FedX doesn’t have the package yet. It was Easter so I understand holidays and catchup from the demand of other orders.

Tracking numbers can be issued a day or more before the company actually has a package. I see that all the time in this day of automation.
Seller prints a label, there's a tracking number on it, label gets put on box, box tossed onto stack of other boxes to get picked up by UPS or Fedex or whoever - and that could be 1 to 2 days, or a few hours, after the tracking number is generated by the seller printing the label - not even put on a box yet.

I had that email on the 20th. Then on the 28th I got another from them with the confirmation and FedX tracking number attached. Your first email is 3 days later than my first one so you should be getting a tracking number any time now I’m guessing.

Sounds good. Thanks. That’s why I asked someone who had ordered from them as well.

2 things to help: 1) My dad made his own kill switch on my mom’s old Wrangler (YJ) and used a hardtop defroster button to be the switch. She didn’t have a hard top, so he bought it and hid it in plain sight. Back then kill switches were popular, so not having some random toggle switch was good camo. 2) All the kill switches at the time pulled the positive, so hot wiring (or even turning the key) it would sound dead. Then the thief would know there was a kill switch. So he had his pull the negative and it would crank all day, having them think it was their doing it wrong or just a bad car. His first version actually used a timer so it would start then stall (pull negative briefly) at random intervals of under a minute, so that even a pro would think the car sucked, but he didn’t like the idea of it being stopped in an intersection. The insurance companies wouldn’t give him a discount on it because he made it, and I remember him arguing saying “you come out and steal it, plus im even telling you there’s a kill switch”. It had to be commercially purchased. He eventually didn’t care because he liked his pull the negative better, even without the timer. Fast forward some years and I borrowed it, and was parked in a place I shouldn’t have been, ran inside for something, and a cop was writing me a ticket. I came out saying “it broke down and won’t start”, got in, flipped the defroster button coyly in front of him, and cranked it many seconds. He said to call a tow truck and left, I said thanks, waited a few, and drove off!

I placed my order on 3-27 just the conformation e-mail nothing else. No response to a e-mail of when it would be shipped . I had ordered a flat latching switch from E-Bay and have it installed already and now just waiting for the kit to arrive . This switch is very low profile so it can be placed just about any where . You really have to look in a very obscure place to find mine but very easy to get to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/235325507701?_trkparms=amclksrc=ITM&aid=1110013&algo=HOMESPLICE.SIMRXI&ao=1&asc=262497&meid=505cc2d709894cc2a6e4b8e893ec9aed&pid=101469&rk=1&rkt=4&sd=255108018589&itm=235325507701&pmt=1&noa=0&pg=3650466&algv=SimplAMLv5PairwiseWebNoToraCoCoViewsNoHighIdfOrSortByFinalScoreBlenderWithPromotedViewItems&brand=Unbranded&_trksid=p3650466.c101469.m2822&itmprp=cksum:235325507701505cc2d709894cc2a6e4b8e893ec9aed|enc:AQAJAAABQPuhkRI%2B91UKQWudeuFB0sxSbl8Kf7q2qAJkBq6SyaHCakjtWkOM6RXwX38EBShHsGnXFLZW44lqs7elgBvFWTvUzfAG7on%2B4P2hmnCEzJt%2Bv5efZJuLU3QdWwNtsCw6mPIy5i9EvlHQLccs3ZKdHFnn19c%2BONhpJAQkmPYxPor4El1ef3ZPLoCTPa3v1Y31FZgYjN%2B7Kn3UxUJ1pFqUltAD3HH6L8YXyr2mwKoTihD8P%2BWOlhpHkEokL1GN7nid3nnyK77jbdC1JE3MReVgb7hcCN7chbcoavX7NA3h44kjH1bMSpPfbMIeg8S06ULdMOOcJ6MMTm3a7YpKjpqpSAIzP0On0w%2BhOsOn82Ow7wNspnuhAyLcTDprW6T0bAxMDGi3FAGwi5NqXUKAu%2FHpdo3q1M9Vp%2FwzqP0kSI%2FCo%2F3G|ampid:PL_CLK|clp:3650466&itmmeta=01HTFAB6R9ZBXMKEDQTA8KXZED

Look up MOBILISTICS smart relay, had one about four months. Just replace the starter relay and gives a small 2nd remote to start the vehicle after pushing the start button. Second remote has very short range but works every time from inside the vehicle. No wiring involved.

This is pretty neat. May look into this for all my vehicles and program all the remotes together. Thanks for the suggestion.

Finally got a notification that mine has been shipped . Placed the order March 27th . I am thinking they got order bombarded with all the talk about their product here or they build them per order . This will be my 4th layer of protection .

Mine showed up yesterday. Installed last night and it works as advertised. Check orientation of the relay, and rotate 180° if it doesn't work. Only thing different for myself is that I have a MT so the easy access firewall grommet that's in the instructions, is filled by a hydraulic clutch cylinder. Went through the A-pillar next to the drain tube and then into the cab.

Looks interesting. Especially that it would be easy to revert to stock for warranty work.

Mine is coming . Can someone tell me how long is the switch wiring and what gauge the wire is please .

The switch wiring is pretty long, but they don’t terminate it so you can lengthen. I’d say it’s 16-18awg and easily 10ft or more.

I stretched mine out and measured for you. The ground and module wire are both 3’ long and 14 gauge. The switch wire is 10’ and 20 gauge.

I would carefully look over all the water seal connections and even the silicone seal on the control box lid. I had to fix to of the connections and I’ll be redoing the control box silicone. As shipped to me, it’s not good enough and water would get in for sure.
