They broke the door lock and opened the door but the alarm triggered so they abandoned my truck and got away. I have a gear lock and a clutch pedal lock as well but was looking at further ways to...

Re: DIY Immobilizer (wanted)

I spoke to an expert that told me to stay away from the electrics as you can mess up the ECU and will then need Toyota to fix it.

Will a inline fuel cut-off solenoid installed in the fuel line from the tank with a hidden switch work?
