Is there some digital kill switch I can put on my Tahoe?

[fasteddy]

Just for protection so people don't steal it.

I'm doing considerable work to it and don't want someone just to steal it when I'm done.

Just like a box with a digital code I can hide under the dash to prevent igition....

Or something that fits that requirement.

I just don't want someone to steal all my hard work.

Put in a simple switch to kill the fuel pump, hide it with a vacuum line. Or add some switches yours did not originally come with and make one of those the fuel pump kill switch.

Good Idea.

Have you ever seen one of these installed in a 00-06 Tahoe?

If you want to prevent them from driving away, Ravelco is the way to go. Keep in mind, however, this will not prevent them from breaking in and trying. Further, they will sometimes use tow trucks/flatbed trucks. I struggle with these things, as someone tried to steal my daughter's Sierra and my Silverado in September of 2020. The best advice I can give, then, is to apply technology to lengthen the amount of time it takes to steal your vehicle, and include items that make it loud to do so. Hopefully thieves will then be persuaded to look at easier pickings down the road.

Good luck -- theft sucks.

Less than 30 bucks In supplies coming from the crank circuit. Nobody will ever see it Loomed and all. Basically just take the crank fuse out and buy in line fuse holder for it and build a circuit on a switch. Won't crank. Someone wants my junk they can tow it away.

I have taken the route of just investing in a good alarm such as the directed viper and the 4g smartstart module and adding a tilt sensor and glass break sensor
the worst I should ever experience is a broken window because as soon as the alarm triggers it activates the fob, sends me a text, sends me a email, sounds a alarm on my phone app.
plus the horn and siren are going off and added piezo speaker inside the truck. as a additional deterrent I have added extra (cycling) led's inside the truck so just looking in the window and seeing that should make the average thief walk away.
every time some one breaks in and messes with shit your looking at probably $500 in repairs window glass or door lock, ignition repair, shift linkage repair + whatever they steal.
to each there own but since I invested in the system I have not even had a broken window

I went that route too, but the motion sensor sucks balls. We have never been able to get it tuned to be a reasonable alarm versus false alarm. This previous weekend, too, we had the texting feature go NUTS on us; it sent 3 text messages every three minutes for about 12 hours.

Yes the motion sensors are crap, swap it out with a GLASS sensor, all you have to do is unplug the motion sensor and plug in the glass sensor and place the mic up in the corner of the drivers pillar, requires no programming, plug-n-play

Thats a good one.....you're a sneeky mofo.
Is that a push button on/off in the cubby hole?

Did you put those brakes on yet? Or just building inventory in your garage?

Collecting parts...tomorrow I'm picking up that kyb steering stabilizer I seen posted earlier this week. Might install it this weekend might not!! Hahaha!!

Maybe check out the Digital Guard Dawg DGD-M1.

A friend of mine put one of these on his Super Duty after it was stolen and recovered the following day. The replacement relay can't be distinguished from the original factory relay. The relay has a transmitter in it that is activated by the key fob. No key fob to activate the relay, no fuel pump or ignition powered up.

I too have the whole Directed package - remote start with 2-way paging alarm, the alarm notifications on my phone and such... it's nice peace of mind. I wish I'd done it all on my Z as well, the only part I don't have on that one is the satellite. But 2-way paging alarm is definitely the way to go.

What type of connector is that? the one on the fuse box

 

[KevinS]

Several other notification and recovery if stolen options that are coming out include the Apple AirTag (when they start shipping) hidden in the vehicle, the BMMPR (bmmpr.com) plug in module with one time cost, and the Smart Mimic module (still appears to be in development.) All have advantages and disadvantages. You could also purchase a bike alarm that can be set to go off with any movement - just make it not very accessible to someone breaking in.

Now this would be a fantastic system, if it could be overlayed with the factory remote, lock doors, and set system, or, unlock doors, deactivate system, all in one motion..

I, too, dont want another app on my phone, or more stuff hanging from my keychain. Not to mention, if you are at a sporting even or something, you arent getting back to your vehicle in time. Than on the other side of things, no one pays attention to alarms any more.

Hey could you tell me where you got this fuse/tap wire to install a kill switch?

Nice! Thanks!

Did you run the wires into the cabin through the firewall port, then into a rocker switch somewhere near the dash?

If so, how did you extend the wires? Just solder on longer 16gauge wires?
