Default security measures. Q for wiring harness experts

What's the best way to do the ultra sano stealth mode install and use something like this on the fuel pump relay control line? IE what would be the best place to hack into the harness? Is there a way I could do it without hacking?

If you are having trouble understanding what I'm trying to do,. imagine using the linked hardware as an automatic wireless alternative to using a hidden kill switch. When the rfid FOB isn't in close proximity, this system would prevent the fuel pump from getting power. and so even if you crank the engine over with the key the engine wouldn't start.. Not that you couldn't also have a hidden kill switch but maybe that helps illustrate the point.

Something like this used in conjunction with a regular alarm system might be more effective than just an alarm system by itself.

I don't think I'd want remote start.

Remote lock, gps tracking, alarm noises if it detects unsavory characters, etc. Something about cars starting by themselves I just am not comfortable with. It's a little too Maximum Overdrive for me.

I should have said I'm good with all but the starting by itself . See Christine references.

Hey everyone likes what they like me I couldn't do without remote start. My compustar has the same rfid dongle they will lock/unlock with distance plus has a number pad on the window.

Personally I would tap into the fuel pump wires up by the fuse box but try to hide the module. I know if a thief really wants your car nothing will stop them, but hiding the wiring and module will stop them from cutting the module out and reconnecting the wires.

Where is the power distribution center with the fuel pump relay in it? Is that the one under the hood? The wiring diagram here seems to indicate a light green with black wire coming from there that looks like it would do it if I could find it.

Correct the PDC is under the hood the fuse block is in the dash. Under the hood is where the fuel relay is

PDC is indeed under the hood. Lots of relays to pick and choose from there. ASD relay would disable coil, injectors, and fuel pump, I think. (first two for sure, fuel pump is a maybe.) Could also just splice into the wires off the ignition switch that runs power to the control side of the relays as well.
