Ignition Kill switch?
Hi Everyone!
I'm looking to install an ignition kill switch on my '10 Yaris hatch (theft prevention). I had one on my Festiva; a simple toggle switch wired into a low power coil wire, worked great. Engine would crank, but not start. (btw, No one ever found my switch that I hid inside the car, including someone I knew years ago who, at one time in his life, stole cars). How would I go about doing this on a Yaris? Can I do a switch wired into the low power side of the ignition like the Festiva? This car is much more complex than the Festy was. Unfortunately I don't have a shop manual for the wiring diagrams, etc. And, the simpler the better! Thanks! :)

There is a sticky thread on the 2007 years manuals here.
It may give you an idea on how it maybe wired. |

is this meant to replace the immobilizer or to work in tandem with it?

Wiring it into the clutch switch sounds like a plan; I'll have to look into it.

Although I haven't put one on the Yaris, other cars I was able to splice into the ignition wire and hide a switch. Another option would be the wire going to or from the clutch start switch.

Is it a manual? We need to push the clutch down to complete the starter motor circuit. So you could achieve a similar effect with a hidden switch on that circuit... You could still bump or push-start the car, though!
