remote vehicle shutdown?

Has this been done? I would like to have the ability using my viper 5704, To shutdown the vehicle in a "get out of your vehicle" type theft.. I figured i could keep my 2way remote in my pocket & my one way remote on the keychain with my keys...& god forbid if anyone does atempt to carjack me i can hand them the keys (with the one way remote) and let them drive a couple blocks then kill the fuel pump or ignition using my 2way remote in my pocket.. can this be done?

Use an aux to fire a latching relay that shuts the fuel pump. Except the thief will still be close enough to come back for you. Fitting the old Clifford Blackjax if you can find one is a much better idea.

Im not worried about the thief coming back, By that time I'll be locked and loaded! Or in a store or residents calling the police.. so here's a crazy idea that you will probably say is a stupid over complicated fire hazard.. lol. .That's OK. So using a relay one coil terminal 85~+12v. Other coil side~86 aux 1 pulsed ground output. Terminal 30 to chassis ground.. terminal 87 to fuel pump fuse (right after the fuel pump fuse) therby causing a momentary short to ground and blowing the fuse, result in no fuel. . Or maybe a fire! ? But hey you can't drive a burning car.

You should realize that you would make yourself liable for anything that would happen if you did engage such a feature. The legal bills would be enormous not to mention how much it would cost you in lawsuits. It's not worth it. That is what insurance is for. Installing a feature like you describe and using it may also void your car insurance. Onstar has a feature like you describe, but it can only be engaged through direction from police and when it is safe to do so. Great idea, but in today's world, it isn't worth it.sparky

Mmmmmm.. I see. . Could wiz of a thief and if he's armed that would not be a good thing for the next car he attempts to jack.. After my comes to a halt.

Why do you think we NEVER immobilise the ignition?

I'm assuming that's kinda what you were getting at? Well I guess I can also install gps using a old cell phone. And inconspicuously hardwire it to the vehicle somewhere separete from the alarm. (Or just buy a gps tracking device for the vehicle) lol Then I could turn the gps and remote kill, over to the police? To recover my vehicle safely. But then again an officer may just disregard such features.

Why? The whole wizing of a thief thing?

No the car crashing and all the legal costs, no insurance, liabilities if the now uncontrollable vehicle hits another car, passer by. Only ever disable the starter, that's what the police will tell you. Did you not understand what sparkie was posting? I do tracker with immobilisers all the time, only ever cut starter.

Why would it be uncontrollably? The thief would have the key in the ignition he should still have steering and brakes unless he's built like a twig.. and assuming he jacked the vehicle in the city and isn't a raging maniac he would be doing city speeds.. but still I agree with you to many variables To just assume.
