Abstract: 1. Fingerprint Kill Switch (FPKS) is a kill switch for your vehicle that does not communicate with your ECU (engine control unit), instead it is directly wired to the ignition and starter wire of your vehicle. Fingerprint Kill Switch (FPKS) cuts off power to the starter until an authorized fingerprint(s) is submitted then and only then may you use the key and start the vehicle; however, the window to start your vehicle is only open for a short amount of time from (from 0.5 seconds to 30 seconds). If you are unable to start your vehicle in time, all you must do is input your fingerprint(s) again. Fingerprint Kill Switch (FPKS) operates differently from other products due to its simplicity, all it does is block vehicle ignition start up from anyone who does not have an authorized fingerprint(s), Fingerprint Kill Switch (FPKS) is unique due to its simplistic design that does not require communication with the onboard vehicle computers.
