You could possibly install a heated-seat or headlamp-washer switch from a Euro SVX. It would look totally stock and nobody would suspect that it's a kill switch.
I totally agree with you. I never would have thought of that but what better place than in the open where it would not be suspected (unless the thief is an SVX enthusiast). If I was to steal an SVX and saw a button for heated seats I sure as hell would try to turn them on just to check it out. Then I would run out and check the headlights to drool over the glass headlights. then, once I realized it was just a USDM SVX, I would vandalize it just for spite.
