Do I need relay for remote starter?
Q: Do I need all of these relays if I want to remote start my vehicle only? A: Yes. The relays provided, whether a three or four relay pack, are used to control power to Ignition 1, Ignition 2, Crank and Accessory. Without these relays the system cannot remote start the engine.
When to use a starter kill relay diagram?
The basic starter kill relay diagram shown below, breaks continuity of the wire from the ignition switch to the starter motor (or in some cases i.e.; Ford, to another relay), when the alarm is armed and the ignition is turned on. This is the most commonly used application for disabling the starter. Click here for another starter kill diagram.
How does a stand alone starter kill work?
This is a stand alone starter kill. It does not rely on an alarm or keyless entry for it to work, only a simple momentary contact switch (normally open) to deactivate it. Every time the ignition is turned off, continuity is broken on the starter feed wire.
How can I disable the starter feed wire?
Every time the ignition is turned off, continuity is broken on the starter feed wire. To disable (or start), turn ignition on, then press the hidden switch, then start as normal. You can substitute the switch with a number of others devices such as the amp turn on wire of your head unit. Be sure to isolate it with at least a 1 amp diode.
How does a passive starter kill system work?
Passive Starter Kill. This is a stand alone starter kill. It does not rely on an alarm or keyless entry for it to work, only a simple momentary contact switch (normally open) to deactivate it. Every time the ignition is turned off, continuity is broken on the starter feed wire.

How do you wire an ignition kill switch?
By using a wiring diagram for your car, you should be able to find which wire is your ignition cable and determine the proper one to cut into. Once the wire is cut, you can either solder the 2 ends of the wire into the switch, or use additional connectors and crimp it on (no soldering required). Below is an ignition kill switch wiring diagram:
