Anti car jacking thought

Convert it to manual!

Of course you could wire in a halon or co2 extinguisher, set with the locks.

Doors lock, Windows go up, engine shuts off, and halon discharges.

Of all these ideas no one has come up with these yet, classics.

Last year when I had to use my fire bottle, when I went to get a new one halon was no longer an option. I also forgot to hold my breath before I pulled the handle but I survived.

They sell remote control ignition kill switchs.

I love our American ways of dealing with dumb shiit.
However, dealing with that in an anti-American state is problematic. Maybe a remote activated relay activated kill switch?

Meanwhile USCCA or similar organizations aren't a bad idea either from a cost/benefit approach.

I'm in favor of the Mad Max idea.

Working with existing circuitry. The best might be tie into the dome light switch. KOEO energizes circuit, opening the door would energize the anti Carjack timer. Of course the problem is obvious when you are driving and open the door and forget to disable it. You would have to have a bypass switch for that issue.

Electrically bypass any of the major sensors and it will go into limpy. Their getaway won't be fast. Put and timer on the fuel pump and engine stops.

Some newer cars shut off after a period of time if the key fob is no longer sensed inside the car. Might be able to install their functionality, and, edit the time to shutoff, at least on cars that were engine swapped running newer computers.

It's one thing to think dumb stuff, it's another thing to actually post it on the open internet. 🤦‍♂️

Thats true. Of course, that's all just theoretical musings, but point taken, and it's a good one. In fact, I'm going to go on the side of safety for all concerned in this thread.

Mentioning what someone might do, whether joking or just musing stuff over could get used against them God forbid something happened. We'll make sure to keep this thread on the good side of the line

Good catch and good call.

In the even I was carjacked, I am thinking about installing a timer switch haven't figured that part out yet) but if I connect one side of the switch to the negative side of the coil and the other side to a ground, it should kill the engine I believe, question would this actually kill the engine and if so would it do any damage killing this engine in this manner. It would give me enough time to get away, but kill the car after a short time period , maybe 15 seconds. I might look at a switch that has a pin with a small wire I would pull with my pinky as I unfasten my seatbelt. Thanks for any input/ideas.

Using a timer switch to cut the engine might work, but it could harm the car. Messing with the engine like that might cause damage. Maybe consider other ways to stay safe, like talking to local experts or law enforcement. They might have better ideas to help you out
