<VV> Switch change

[Frank DuVal]

If you replace the ignition switch with an early style and leave it in 
the unlock (ON) position, anyone who gets in the car can start it. NOT  
a great idea, but you didn't want these comments...

A hidden switch gives the theft deterent of a visable ignition switch 
with no key inserted. Of course one needs to make sure no one is looking 
when the car is started, as the secret is easily seen. Friends will be 
able to borrow the car at will.Wiring hidden switches should be a piece 
of cake. Two maintained switches, one for ignition and one for 
accessories, and a momentary for the starter operation. Could even use 
one maintained switch with a relay for the accessories, a la 90's era GM.

Of course there may be aftermarket RFID type starters on the market by 
now, where the owner just needs the RFID key in their pocket for the car 
to start with a push button.
