Remote battery switch ...

I like this, not (I agree) insurmountable, but a quick way to disable the car to deter the tea-leaves out there..

Not for the newer vehicles with lots of ECU's and alarms etc but great for the earlier land rover models (like my 1994 Defender).

Definitely some food for thought there. Thanks.

I use a latching solenoid (LINK) on mine with a switch on the dash rather than a remote. It is hidden in plain sight with all the other identical toggle switches. I also have a fused bypass link which keeps the radio programmed etc, but as soon as you turn the ignition on the fuse will blow.
I have no evidence for why, but I do not trust the cheap wireless/remote control units. it is the same with the winch controls, I do not trust the cheap remote controllers to actually work reliable every time they are needed.

You would plug your vehicle live feed into something from TEMU ?

if your bonnets not secure this device is easily overcome by removal of device and original post terminal re-fitted

Well, after examination, yes ... This is very well built, good solid relay, nice pc board and wiring with quaity connectors etc.
I'll give it a go.

A secure bonnet really helps when your battery is under the passenger seat.
