"Stolen cars can be shut off remotely with the help of a variety of systems and devices, including:
- Remote vehicle disabling systems
These systems allow authorized users to remotely stop or slow down a vehicle, prevent it from moving, or stop it from starting.
- OnStar's Remote Ignition Block™
This feature can be used to remotely prevent a thief from restarting a stolen vehicle that is parked and turned off. OnStar also has a global-tracking device that allows police to find stolen vehicles and, with the owner's permission, turn off the engine.
- Hidden kill switches
Some people install hidden kill switches to protect their cars from theft. These switches can interrupt the starter circuit or require the user to flip a specific sequence of switches to start the car."
