    $250-$350 for installing a $5 switch in 20 min. Looks like we found the real thief. 🤨
  • 901 Sounds just got the biggest plug ever!!! My dad had a race car that had 2 kill switches on back in the 80's and 90's. They really do work
  • Got my shit stolen in California and found it with an AirTag and it ended up being right by the Mexican border. Drove it home like a boss and took it to an audio shop right away to get a kill switch installed.

    I have a fuel pump delay I designed myself. My car starts normally, but if a hidden switch isn't pressed within two minutes of the car starting, the fuel pump shuts off and cannot be restarted for five minutes. I figure that way the thief probably already has the car on the road nearby and in view of the public when it stalls on him, and he'll probably just abandon it where it is. The thing with theft deterrents isn't to make your car impossible to steal, because where there's a will there's a way. The thing is to make your car more difficult to steal than the one parked next door.
  • Believe it or not some people have the gall to have your car towed away like its being repossessed. Once they get the vehicle they will take care of kill switches, alarms and etc.

    They really showed everyone the car & where the kill switch is 🤦‍♂️🤡 regardless of the odds of it getting stolen I would be pissed 😂☠️

    Does anyone realize what our society has come to be in North America? The real issue is having to put a remote switch in your car to begin with. We are too soft on most all crime now!!!!! Vehicle theft is illegal and needs to be punishable by hard chain gang labor!!!!

    If only the vehicle could be given a key or something that lets the owner be the only person able to start the vehicle. How about doing a field test? Install kill switches on all WREG vehicles & leave them unlocked while the crew is off doing their story.
  • There are more then 1 kill switch Fuel line shutoff valves Car battery disconnect switches Remote control car battery switches Fuse box kill switches Ignition wire kill switches Most people go for the battery kill switch which is the one demonstrated in this video. Whether it be remote or not What's the danger of these if they shut off on you while you're in traffic or on the highway your screwed you lose all power steering and everything. The best one to get is the fuel shut off

    Own a car with a manual transmission. Built in anti theft device.
  • Yes they do work , most thieves won’t take the time to look for one . 901 sounds is garbage . I took my corvette to the last year and had them tint the windows , they destroyed my paint. They tried to lie but it was all on camera . I wouldn’t never do business with that place
  • @kjam360
    This video just gave the thieves places to look for the kill switch!
  • @brianc4037
    Need secret hidden gas supply kill switches installed , so if the car gets car jacked you push the button before giving up car , and car will only travel maybe a block or 2 before dying out from lack of fuel .

    Thieves are also watching. Just saying.
  • I used to hook up a bright light switch on the floor for a kill switch.
  • I have a steering wheel lock that cost less than $20 and I put it on the back of the steering wheel so nobody could possibly drill it off (or at least I don't see how they would be able to). You could also just pop off the top of one of your spark plug covers when you're leaving your car for the night. Makes it undrivable.
