How would a thief get the key?

I mean, if you are aware enough to flip the kill switch, wouldn't you take the key?

 

I’ve had it on the past week so far no issues but i kept the oem relay just in case. It’s an easy switch if needed

 

SmartKeys can be cloned by a "scanner". Some people turn off the truck "looking for key" feature if it will be sitting unattended for a while so that monitor pulse cannot be scanned.

 

Mines sitting there, not yet installed because I’m waiting for more info on this.

 

So wait, it’s like the key itself is a kill switch, and it’s portable. That’s the kind of kill switch we need. Like one that even makes the truck light up based upon proximity…

 

Super easy to install. I work out of my truck and i tend to leave my keys due to having my tool belt on me. So it’s a great thief deterrent for my truck.

 

The key is like a kill switch (something you have), while the kill switch is like a password (something you know).

It's basically 2-factor authentication.

 

Like I said, I have one waiting to be installed, or did I install it already??? And I have 3 pedals, which may or may not be a deterrent.

 

I am confident that the folks around here who "borrow" trucks won't get far in a manual. Having a real key (as opposed to the "push this button to start") is one of the many benefits of the 3-pedal truck.

 

My alarm guy installed a kill switch for me a while back before this product came out. He just interrupted the power wire to the starter button and we hid the switch under the dash. It's convenient but well concealed. just used a toggle under the dash. Switch was just a couple of bucks.
