Just wondering if the original eguipment immobilizer is effective against car theives.
They always seem 2 steps ahead of technology.
I was thinking of installing a fuel cutoff switch, or is that a waste of time?

 

If another fuel cutoff switch would prevent your car from being loaded on a flatbed, no.

If not, yes.

 

I have yet to read of anyone getting their car hotwired. I believe the primary method is with a flatbed. A fuel cutoff switch won't prevent that.

 

Security in regards the the actual car? Yes.
Security in regards to your parts, valuables left in car? No.

How I see it is, anything that makes a thief (thieves) stay 10 seconds longer trying to steal something is a deterrent.

As far as a kill switch I think that's a good step. What you should do is invest in a 2-way alarm with a hidden install, back up battery and siren, tilt sensor, GPS tracking, etc...

 

All were valid points.
Thank you for the input.

 

it only stops lazy thieves from stealing the whole car.
