Right, this was suggested in a fred a bit back and i wanted to confirm your thoughts on the idea...
I bought a really cheap 40A resettable 12v trip (£2) off fleabay. I have an isolator switch in the battery box. If i fit the trip in parallel to the isolator, am i right in thinking that with the isolator switch "on", the trip will be OK but if the isolater is "off" the power required for the starter will trip the resettable trip to the Off position if someone tries to hot wire it?
The reason is purely so the stereo doesn't forget all the chanels and settings i've put in when i take off the isolator switch!
Will this work - does the starter take enough power to trip it when the isolator is "off" and will the trip be completely bypassed when the isolator is "on"?
