I've recently been looking into installing a kill switch on my vehicle, and that got me thinking about a unique solution, like Bluetooth. It would act the same way as a modern day's vehicle push button start (The key has to be in/near for it to start), but it would be dependent on your phone.
For your phone, you need a special app to send a command to the board. You can hook it up to send the command when paired, using something like Automate or Tasker.
On the vehicle, it can hook up to anything you might install a kill switch too (Fuel pump, ignition ect).
One could also hookup a blue status light on the dashboard if your phone is connected or not. If anyone else would ever drive your vehicle, you could always install a bypass switch hidden somewhere, but then that goes full-circle to the simple idea of a kill switch.
Using the same tech, it would be relatively easily to also install a remote-start kit using the same board with limited range, (I know zero about remote start systems so i may be wrong). Or hook it up to anything for that matter. Including external lights, radio, hazards, anything in your vehicle really. What do you guys think? Should i give it a go?
