Start Kill Switch, Want to disable the engine starting with a switch Options

[ShadowFX]

I was thinking I'd do this to my car, it seems like a pretty easy, cheap and effective thing to do. i want to install a magnetic reed switch onto the ignition. I'll hide the switch under the carpet somewhere, and keep a magnet in the car, so I'll have to have the magnet over the switch before I can start the car.

I was reading http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=16174 , and from what i gather:

Starter
This wire is used for remote start and for starter-kill, which is when the car won't start if the alarm is armed. The starter wire in a sixth generation Celica is black/white, and is located at the ignition harness. Like the ignition wires, it's a fairly thick wire.

I can make this work if I just put the reed switch inline with this black/white wire? Can someone tell me if this is right for the application i want? Also, will this allow me to have the car "on" as in electrical wise, so if the key is turned to 'ACC' or 'ON', without the engine started, can I still listen to music and everything, without the need for the magnet?

One more thing, if this is the right wire, where would I find this? The "ignition harness", is this just inside the steering column?

Well I had a crack at this today, and I couldn't seem to find the right wire. Batman, would you have a picture of the wiring loom you mean? I took off the centre console, and I just tried to take the white/black wire that was in the horizontal loom at the very top:



But when i cut this, the started did cut out, but I kept hearing a buzzing sound from my engine bay.. When I reconnected the wire the buzzing stopped?

I'm not sure if I'm looking at the right loom, or if its even possible to do this now, maybe it's wired into my alarm?

To get to the loom you said Batman, do I need to actually take my radio out to get to it?
