Easy. Get the connector cable, the schematic, a small capacitor, and a shielded swtich. Wire a 'SCRAM' button. AFTER the system has saved your bacon, flip the cover on the switch and WIPE the mofo.

You can buy aftermarket kits to do this now to monitor your kids or spouses usage and trips. It can either be downloadable from the unit or one that you can remotely view via the net...
