any way to do this? I think id be pretty nifty as theft protection, and it would just be sweet. I was thinking if i wired it to the radio power wire also that i might be able to retain the power funtion since it turns off when cranking but that would probaby be asking for trouble. What do you guys think?

yeah thats what i was thinking. Then jsut have another outlet under the seat or something If i ever need power. Anyone know what the wires that go to the seat are for? maybe i could use those for power. I guess you'd have to make sure no one else put any chargers or anything in there since it would activate the starter.
Can anyone tell me which wires i will need from the ignition switch? my car is spread all over the garage so it would be hard to figure it out.

it seems that there is continuity between the big red wire, and the big black wire when the switch is in the position for starting. So i seems I should splice the big red wire to there, and disconnect the black wire and run it to the lighter? is this right? then i can also use the red wire for power under the seat or something
