No wire cutting
~10 minute install

Installing a car kill switch used to mean cutting into factory wiring and hiding a toggle under the dash. The modern drop-in doesn’t. It replaces the starter relay in its existing socket and is fully reversible — pop it out and you’re back to stock.

Old way vs. the drop-in

Why the drop-in beats cutting wires

The old DIY way

  • Splice and cut factory wires
  • Hide a toggle switch somewhere
  • Hours of work
  • Can void your warranty
  • Hard to undo

The 41.22 drop-in

  • No wire cutting
  • Plugs into the starter-relay socket
  • ~10 minutes
  • 100% reversible
  • Doesn’t void your warranty

Four steps

The whole install

1

Pull the factory starter relay

Open the fuse/relay box and lift out the factory starter relay. It pulls by hand — no tools needed.

2

Plug in the 41.22 module

Drop the 41.22 module into the now-empty starter-relay socket. Nothing is spliced or cut.

3

Mount the switch where you like

Place the hidden pushbutton — or just pocket the wireless remote. You choose where it lives.

4

Arm it

Armed, the engine won’t crank until you disarm. That’s the whole job.
