Just some ideas. You could use a remote relay and done the same thing and have it on remote, no button. You can kill anything under your hood to stop it from starting from the battery to the starter relay. Many thieves just pop the release and push it away to a trailer with a car. You need to fix that also. I would also relocate my obd port and install a fake. Wire it all hot straight to the battery no fuse. When they plug in hopefully it will blow whatever they plug in.

Thanks for the tip man.. I was looking for an easy way to open the dashboard to fix my Uconnect monitor and a way to install a kill switch... So thanks for both tips 😁
Just take your time pulling the dash off little by little. It will creak and scare the crap out of you but it comes off pretty easily once you get everything loosened. Good luck!

@@moparlifescatpack thx! Was just thinking about key fob hijacking and those black box devices I’ve only heard about people put on the roof to decode . Kill switch….waaaaaay better than no kill switch. Thx!
If the switch itself has red and black wires, does it matter that they are both spliced into the red wire for the car, and, does it matter what direction they are spliced into the red car wire?
any amperage switch for 12v systems will work fine, the amperage is so low that the wire gauge is mostly unimportant too, just match the factory 18g harness for simplicity.
@@l2kxboost Problem is whoever installs it knows where the switch is. Need to find a friend who already has one and isn’t interested in stealing yours. Lol
What about a momentary switch that has to be held at the same time as the start button. Will that work or is there a problem depowering the start button after the car is running?
I would think a momentary switch would work just as a rocker switch. Same concept just instead of turning rocker on and off you’d have to hold the momentary switch when you started it and when you wanted to turn it off.
This is going to sound silly. But I have no clue what one of my switches is for in my 2022 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack. It sits to the right of the switch that allows you to turn on your interior lights and dims the Unconnect when you're driving. They both look the same. But I roll the switch up and down, and I see nothing happening.
@Rusty Shackelford hahaha 😆 😂 Yeah, it had me aggravated. Here I'm paying a fortune for this car, and I can't even figure it all out, haha. I just learned something new the other day. If you hold the left paddle shifter down or even the middle shifter. It will automatically throw you in the lowest gear the car can go into. That's freaking awesome.

It changes nothing at all with any settings. Even the remote start still works. All this does is disable to push to start button inside the car. If you installed this and never even used it you’d never know it was there.
@@moparlifescatpack ..... One last question. Are these measurements good enough for the button? Current Rating - 3 Amps Operating Voltage - 250 Volts. Thanks again!!!
I do not understand what you just did with the remote start. The kill switch was active when you remote started the car. Doesn't that mean they can steal the car? Or remote starting the car does not equal being able to drive it? I'm not a MOPAR owner, yet, so I don't know.
You can still remote start it with the kill switch activated. However, if someone were to hop in and try to drive it the car wouldn’t go into run without pressing the start button, which won’t work until you turn the kill switch off.
@@moparlifescatpack Hi! I'm talking with security specialists who are convinced that kill switches cannot be used alongside other systems like the compustar and IGLA, because the presence of kill switches would generate error codes. Did you have this experience? Did your car's computer notice the presence of a kill switch? If yes, how did you fix the problem?
@@DesertStateInEU My car has no idea there is a kill switch and it does not cause any error codes. As for how it may affect the IGLA system you would need to ask an installer. I don’t know the answer to that one.
Random question. Installed my switch just like you. It works and functions correctly. However I noticed if I leave the switch on at home over night the car battery dies. Upon further investigation I noticed once I walk away / lock the doors the shifter and back splash screen remain on; this draining the battery all night. Is there something I need to do?
I cut the ignition and connected the switch but the ignition button light won’t come n at all no matter what and the car won’t dont start and key fob not working
Sounds like you may be using a switch w more than two prongs or wires (illuminated switch). It needs power to illuminate. I wouldn’t recommend using an illuminated one simply because the idea is for it to remain hidden. Use a switch with only two prongs.
Hello, for those who want to do this mod without cutting harness, i may have found connectors (6 holes 175507-2) to make a t-connector. I wait to receive them and will tell you if they fit. Have a good day
@@AwesomeDerp That’s 18 gauge auto wire. I got mine at Walmart but you can find them there or any auto parts store. They also come in other colors if you prefer red or something else.
Why does everyone cut the wire right behind the start button? That’s the first place anyone would look. It doesn’t matter where you hide the switch, they just bypass it by resplicing the 2 cut wires from the start button and off they go. Gotta find a better place to cut that wire.
If they start the Challenger the only thing they have to do is go to the center console and pushed a button and put it in gear there's a bypass in the console to manually take it out of park so what good is the switch
Don’t want to sound pessimistic here, but wouldn’t you think thieves would look for something this easy and just remove the bezel, remove the switch and then touch the wires back together?
Yes, the pieces of 🗑️ could do that but when combined with an alarm going off, steering wheel lock installed and the neutral pull-cord covered with security screws and the obd port covered with security screws and a few other things not mentioned, they won't have the time or it will be enough time for the owner to get there and deal with them 😏.
