What it is

A kill switch you control
from anywhere.

A traditional kill switch is a hidden toggle under the dash: you have to be in the vehicle to use it. Our starter disable is a relay installed together with the GPS tracker and controlled from the app, so you can block the vehicle from wherever you are.

FAQ

Starter disable questions

What is a starter disable?

It is a relay installed in the vehicle's starting circuit and connected to the GPS tracker. When you block it from the app, the vehicle can't be started. When you unblock it, it starts normally again.

Does it shut off the engine while someone is driving?

No. It does not turn off an engine that is already running, which would be dangerous on the road. It prevents the vehicle from starting again once it has been turned off.

Is it the same as a kill switch?

It does the same job with a big difference: a traditional kill switch is a hidden manual switch inside the vehicle, while our starter disable is controlled from the app, from anywhere, and you also see where the vehicle is.

Do I need a GPS tracker to have starter disable?

Yes. The starter disable works together with our hardwired R-Tracker GPS. It can be installed at the same time as the tracker or added later to a vehicle that already has one of our trackers.

Is there a monthly fee for starter disable?

No. There is no extra monthly fee: you only pay for the installation, and the starter disable works with your regular GPS plan.

Can I install it myself?

We recommend professional installation, because it involves the vehicle's starting circuit. If you or your installer are comfortable with 12V wiring, we can also ship a starter disable kit together with the tracker.

Is it used by car dealers?

Yes. Dealers, buy here pay here lots and rental companies use it to keep control of their vehicles. Each business is responsible for following the rules that apply to its customer agreements.

Which vehicles can have starter disable?

Most cars, SUVs, pickups, vans and work trucks. Tell us the year, make and model and our team will confirm before the installation.
