Tacomas hold their value for a reason — which is exactly why thieves target them. The 41.22 kill switch pulls your factory starter relay and drops in its place, so the engine stays dead until you arm it back. Here's how it works on a Tacoma.

## Why Toyota Tacomas get targeted
Tacomas are among the most resale-stable trucks on the road, and thieves know it. Most modern thefts aren't smash-and-grab — they're relay attacks and OBD-port reprogramming that start the truck without your key in well under a minute. On top of the whole vehicle, Tacoma owners also lose tailgates and catalytic converters.
A kill switch doesn't stop a stolen tailgate — but it does stop the part that drives away.

**By the numbers:** ~30s — how fast a relay attack can start an unprotected truck · $2,500+ — typical catalytic-converter replacement after a hit · 0 — wires cut — our module drops in at the relay

## Pop the relay, drop ours in, the starter stays dead
A relay attack or a cloned key still can't crank the engine — the starter circuit is open until you disarm it. No soldering, no cut wires, and it pops back to stock in minutes.

- **Wired Pushbutton ($108):** A hidden pushbutton you mount somewhere only you know. No batteries, ever.
- **Wireless Remote ($179):** Two keychain remotes, the easiest install we make. Disarm from indoors; works with remote start.

## A real Tacoma install, start to finish
Pull the factory starter relay, plug the 41.22 module into the empty socket, mount your switch where only you can reach it, and arm it. No tools beyond what's already in your glovebox. Reverse it any time and you're back to stock.

## Is a kill switch the best anti-theft for a Tacoma?
Alarms get ignored. GPS trackers tell you where your truck went — not how to keep it. A kill switch is the only layer that stops the truck from moving in the first place, and it stacks fine with whatever you already run. It's the cheapest "no" you can give a thief.

## Toyota Tacoma kill switch FAQ

**Does a kill switch stop a relay attack?**

Yes. A relay attack tricks the truck into thinking your key is present, then cranks the starter. With the 41.22 module armed, the starter circuit is physically open — the engine won't turn over no matter what signal a thief sends.

**Will it stop tailgate or catalytic-converter theft?**

No — and we won't pretend otherwise. A kill switch protects the part that drives away: the whole truck. Bolt-on losses like tailgates and cats need their own deterrents.

**Does installing it void my Toyota warranty?**

It shouldn't. Nothing is cut or spliced — the module drops into the existing relay socket, so there's no permanent modification to point at. And if you ever need to, you can return the truck to full OEM stock in just a few minutes by swapping the factory relay back in.

**Should I get the wired or wireless version?**

Wireless ($179) is the easiest install and lets you disarm from your pocket. Wired ($108) is a hidden pushbutton with no batteries to ever think about. Both kill the same circuit.

**Is my Tacoma 100% theft-proof with this installed?**

No product makes a vehicle theft-proof. A dead starter circuit makes yours a far harder target — most thieves move on to the easier truck, which is the whole point.
