Im not sure how you would set it up for constant activation without killing your battery. I have a line lock set up in my camaro, and it (obviously) requires power to lock in the brake while activating the solenoid.

For you to use it as a constant, it would require continuous power to the solenoid to keep it in the "hold" position..... Im seeing either solenoids burning up, or dead batteries in the future....

I don't know that the solenoids used for line loks are rated for continuous use ; given their expected application probably not
