Don't the newer Spec-Vs come with a slew of passive anti-theft stuff? From what I understand the car is already known to be less than easy to steal. And with a switch like that that no one knows about, your car is still going to get busted up an attempted theft.
I know mine already has the chip in the key, seems silly to add one more thing to turn on everytime I start the car.
eh, I still think a fuel pump cutoff switch is a good idea. All that anti-theft stuff does is delay the inevitable, really. If someone wants my car, nothin's gonna stop them......unless if they can't start it

They just use a tow truck now days. Besides, our cars are not really a hot item. I havn't heard of any of them getting stolen.

Reason: Hit the edit key instead of the quote key.... oops
yeah? If they can't prove the switch caused the ECU to go, then they have to cover it. It's the law. So......you be wrong.
blow me... just because its the law there sweet tits dosen't mean that's what happened in the real world... try working for a dealer... the burden of proof gets shifted to the car owner A LOT to prove that aftermarket shit(esp electrical) wasnt the cause of the problem... lifes a bitch, why dont you get educated about this shit b4 you start spewing BS, i respect your knowledge of cars, but your opinions are a waste of my time...

I'm sorry, I think this is a silly idea, especially in any newer car. I don't see why an insurance agency would lower your insurance for this, considering its a modification that the a would-be thief doesn't know about, so it can do nothing to deter theft; it still has the same probability of getting broken into, broken being the key word.
And YES, they can void your warrranty for this type of mod. Say your monkey butt accidentally grounds out the switch, or while putting it in you may or may not have used the right wires... any of these things ficticious or not is reason enough to void a warranty. It shouldn't, but it can.
No body even thinks about stealing my car, because I keep the driver seat in the trunk and the bolts in the glove compartment. And well, because it's a Sentra.
well i'm not taking any chances. f*ck the dealer - the switch will be well hidden they wont even know. my sh*t is bright yellow, cop target, theft eye catcher.
I'd have to agree...messing with the electrical system isn't a good idea IMO. Could potentially fry your entire system and who wants to guess about warrenty at that point.
fuel pump cut off switch: everyone should do it
