Question Kill switch

With the rising numbers of car thefts, it makes sense to add additional security to my 1996 LS 400. I , like many, don’t carry collision because the insurance company wouldn’t give me squat for my car. What is the easiest way to install a toggle switch to make car not start? I’ve read splice into the fuel pump modulator but that’s difficult in this car. Anything easy?

I've put the cut out on the ignition switch using a momentary switch from the key cylinder. Problem is hiding it sufficiently and making convenient for the driver.

Nice thing is we already have the silly beep-beep button down there that dumb car thieves would probably think is the switch.

Wire it to the garage door buttons so you can feel like an airline pilot when you start the car
