If anyone is considering doing this, it would be a good idea to wire your
factory radio "around" such a switch. Unless, of course, you are fond of
resetting the code and your favorite push buttons.

The switch had best be "well made", since, from the description, it must be
able to pass the starting current. This means the switch will resemble
something from Dr. Frankenstein's lab vs. the neat little toggle switches you
can hide under the dash.
