Starter Kill

Just a quick question for everyone to answer. 

What is the point of Starter Kill when anyone who is going to hot wire your car will just bypass it anyway? 

Assuming you have a hood lock together with a starter kill which prevents anyone getting  to your battery and starter - it is going to be difficult for a thief.

with a starter kill but no hood lock - i would like to hear from the other more expirence installers about this one....

if I was a thief...(I'm not) but if I was and I tried to steal a car, if I tried to hot wire it I'd see the starter wire and ign wire and hot wire it if there is a kill on the starter and I can find the starter side of the relay I can still hot wire it even if it has a hood lock because I don't need under the hood all the wiring is under the dash. An ign kill with a starter kill just makes it more difficult, now there's two things to find. If you also add a fuel shut off relay now there's a 3rd thing to find (even harder if you hide the relay somewere else in the car).

even after hot wiring a car you still have to brake the ign lock to brake. If the thief gets under the hood the only thing he can do is cut the siren or disconnect the battery. With the battery disconnected the car can't be started so I'm not sure that the hood lock would help, except if would had motor work you did not want to disappear.

How would one wire a fuel pump shut off relay? I think that is the ticket since an ignition kill relay is the same situation as the starter kill.  However, But couldn't an experienced thief just unplug the remote starter and the trigger that would be flipping all these switches (namely the ground out when armed) would flip them back and there we are again with a simple break of the ignition lock?  I am simplifying all of this to save from typing it all, but I suppose the point is to deter a thief since it is nearly impossible to completely prevent theft.  I am also assuming that we want a completly normally car with a remote starter.  No one wants to have to hold a hidden switch to start their car,like I've seen suggested.  

You are correct about the fact that only RS units have the bypass modules and the spare key. The only way a thief is going to know this before hand is if they scoped out vehicle before hand and saw if being remote started or they live in Canada . As far as a starter disable, I do not install one of these if it's a manual transmission vehicle ( senseless option seeing that you can push start the vehicle ). I like the immobilizers the manufacturer's have inplace now ( pain in the @$$ to bypass some of them ) but they have lowered to theft rate alot, but not the break in rates. People still have problems with theives breaking into the car, not to steal the car but the contents.

If a thief has the time and the knowledge of the bypasses, he can get away with anything. As long as the hardware is not visible or accessible to the thief,he/she cannot bypass the immobilizer.
