Anyone installed one in their Camaro yet? Looking to do a fuel pump kill switch, possibly even a sequence of switches for the car to start. Anyone have any diagrams of the ignition system? Will be simple once I find the right wire

Here in the Bay Area Camaros are one of the most stolen cars...just watched a special and it got me spooked

From what I've noticed most of the camaros that are stolen are last generation 5's. Wouldnt having OnStar deter these folks from wanting to steal the gen 6's? This is my first Camaro so I'm unsure if the gen 5 had the same OnStar capabilities as the current model.

Possibly. I would just like having the peace of mind that if all else failed, they still wouldn't be able to drive off with my car. But I guess once they are in they can pop the hood and it's game over.

I wouldn't want to completely rely on these fancy electronic systems. It all has a workaround some way or another.

So what do you use for the switch on the new cars and how to hide? We have used the old floor board dimmer switch to interrupt circuits. Place under the carpet behind the brake pedal. No one sees you setting it to off. Not sure the late model circuitry will work with such.

5th gen has same onstar capabilities.

GOOD thread... Question; many of us will not extend OnStar and only have the "basic" after the initial trial period. If the car is stolen with basic only, will OnStar cooperate with the location of the vehicle if stolen.

Many good places to hide a micro switch..

I'm thinking somewhere under the dash that you don't have to noticeably bend down and reach for. I would assume a lot of thieves know the go to spot for a kill switch is under the front lip of the seat

A simple switch inline of the fuel pump relay or fuse would work very nicely. You can even run a switch inline of the starter so the idiot doesn't kill your battery trying to turn her over. Plus I'm thinking a car constantly trying to turn over would attract a lot of attention...

Don't hold your breath , the guys that where taking the fifth gen , are still out there , even though some where takin out of circulation .
But no , the groups that where taking the most cars , had some king a box that would unlock your car from the passages side , open the glove compartment , go around to the driver side , and take of with your car , it takes less that a minute
Keep in mind that the Onsatr module on the fift Gen is located right behind the inside of the glove compartment !

I wouldn't trust Onstar. Nothing beats a gool ol mechanical kill switch.

Install it inside the arm rest. I agree a good mechanical kill switch is a solid addition of security.

Plus you can pretend you're in NASCAR or own a vintage European car where you have to turn on the fuel pump switch before you start the car

The problem with installing in the armrest is that is the first place anyone would look. It should be somewhat hidden.

The ones I've installed have either used an existing factory switch or a hidden switch requiring a magnet to activate the switch, holding the switch while starting the vehicle.
