Sorry if this has been discussed before, is it possible to put a secret kill switch into the FG. Something discreet, but handy for those who know. That way, even if the crim has the keys, he's still stuffed.

Used to be easy do in old cars, just a simple switch put into the ignition circuit. These new cars are a tad more complicated. I might look into it, and post in the FG Falcon forum.

It might be a good thing if turning the ignition key would activate the car horn instead of the starter motor, hmmm
Switched battery lead with access BEHIND the glovebox lid (up where the cabin filter is) would be the easiest.

I wouldn't want to mess with the ignition wiring too much since you have an immobilizer.

In reality they shouldn't have access to your keys, first tip... don't hang them near your front door. If they want it bad enough it isn't hard to dry tow it on to a tilt tray.
