How to install an anti-theft switch in your car so that it is always at hand

Many car owners install homemade anti-theft systems, in the form of a secret switch under the dashboard that blocks the engine from starting. This is good protection, since it is not mass-produced and confuses the thief. After all, he can only guess how the car owner blocked the engine from starting.
In this article I would like to talk about a place where it is very convenient to place such a switch so that it is hidden from prying eyes and at the same time is always at hand.
And the best place for this would be the gearbox shift knob housing.

    On a VAZ 21043 I had a chain dangling from the key. The key was inserted into the lock and with this chain (minus power) it was necessary to touch the screw on the panel. A minus appeared in the relay circuit, the relay was activated and allowed the car to start.
