Default Kill switch install for A4?

There is a seperate thread talking about the effectiveness of aftermarket alarms. What I'd like to know is what wire to break to connect an igntion kill switch to. I've had the whole center console off recently to do a flameball install. Has anyone found a wire on an A4 to use? If so, do you have a picture or can you describe the connector? I have the service manuals and can probably find something in there with the right guidance. I'm OK with soldering and connecting a switch. I just need a clever place to hide it too, but that's the easy part.

Do you have the wiring diagram? I'd look for a fuel pump relay or an ignition wire. :cheers:

Wire the switch on the ignition fuse, sorry, not pics. The manual is descriptive.

I haven't done my C5 yet but on my C4 I used the fuse for the fuel injection . I never liked doing the fuse because it was so easy to defeat, but it was so easy to do. Gonna have to do my C5 in a better , harder to detect way. :flag
