If someone tries to start the car w/o the green 'on/off' **** (adaptor installed on negative post), the car will blow a fuse and disable the car.

It cost me $15 from AutoSport, does anyone have it? Does it actually work? What fuse does it blow out?

 

I'm getting one for my beater CRX. Not to disable the car, but to prevent my battery from draining. I'm too lazy to chase the slow drain. If I let it set for more than a week, the battery will be dead.

 

Wouldn't it be a pain to pop your hood everytime you need to start your car?

 

sounds like this is like the battery buddy that keeps that battery from going dead if the car sits for prolonged periods of time. I have not heard of any of these type of products that blow fuses, but most seem to work by disconnecting the negative battery terminal if the battery gets drained or someone try to steal the car. If i had to gues it would probably blow the fuse for the starter.

 

Popping the hood to remove the **** when I leave the car for the shopping mall, movies etc. is definitely worth while if the lil thing can indeed prevent thieves from driving my car away.

 

won't prevent breakins and you gotta redo the preset on the radio.

 

uhmm... break-ins are inevitable, with or without the high tech alarms money can buy. The green-**** thingy came with 15 Amp fuse in the fuselink, just enough to power the clock and keep radio settings intact.

 

Yep...I was going to say that. The more expensive one comes with a small gauge wire with a fuse. It won't be enough to start the car, but it will keep the clock/radio setting happy. I bought the cheaper one
