it might be a valet switch if you have an older system installed. don't newer one's have a valet switch in the module as a feature already?

other than that, i'd say it's more likely a kill switch (installed in a bad location) cuz i'm sure most thieves will find it. i'm thinking of having one wired with the seatbelt sensor. cuz honestly, what car thief would waste time to buckle their belts anyway?

Be a pain if you just want to move it a few feet. Or are you one of these people that won't even start the car without first having your seatbelt on? Like my brother-in-law
