I was thinking I'd do this to my car, it seems like a pretty easy, cheap and effective thing to do. i want to install a magnetic reed switch onto the ignition. I'll hide the switch under the carpet somewhere, and keep a magnet in the car, so I'll have to have the magnet over the switch before I can start the car.
I was reading http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=16174 , and from what i gather: Starter This wire is used for remote start and for starter-kill, which is when the car won't start if the alarm is armed. The starter wire in a sixth generation Celica is black/white, and is located at the ignition harness. Like the ignition wires, it's a fairly thick wire. I can make this work if I just put the reed switch inline with this black/white wire? Can someone tell me if this is right for the application i want? Also, will this allow me to have the car "on" as in electrical wise, so if the key is turned to 'ACC' or 'ON', without the engine started, can I still listen to music and everything, without the need for the magnet? One more thing, if this is the right wire, where would I find this? The "ignition harness", is this just inside the steering column? This post has been edited by ShadowFX: Jun 6, 2007 - 8:37 AM |

Haha, well this is where this idea came from. I figured I'd get an immobiliser, but then I thought of this. I'll see how this goes though, if it doesn't work.. I'll reconnect everything the way it was and pretend it never happened.
Just out of interest, where in aus are you? This post has been edited by ShadowFX: Jun 3, 2007 - 5:56 AM |
