I looked through this video, thought a bit, and looked through it a couple of more times and I think it should work just fine on any car I've ever looked over to hood on.  The "authors" last name is the same as mine; but the mate and I are not related:

If anyone else can view it and find problem with the circuit let me know and I'll post it here.  I'm thinking of maybe using it in my older Toyota Avalon and wiring it to bypass the alarm system so it's not setting there hot and going off when it shouldn't.  Believe me this can be a worse problem than someone actually stealing it!  I like the point-to-point construction used although the technician in me should hate it! Watch it many, many times if you intend to do it to your car!  Also don't reuse or buy junk components for the project.



Yes, it's called a G-Spot; laugh if you want to laugh. . .it's better for your cardio-vascular system them holding it in! rofl.gif

I love the animated schematic; it features components in the surface mount format but otherwise it's the same circuit:

The whole website is full of wonderful question answering information:

Thats cool!

Years ago, my husband put a toggle switch in the wire leading to the ignition switch on our motorboat.  It was hidden under the dashboard.
You can do this with an older car too.

Just in case someone didn't know and thought I was picking on guys with the last name of Davies; this happens to be my last name!  He probably would think I speak funny! If the founder or one of her friendly legion stops by the lines above do not bear repeating!
