The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network - View Single Post - Battery Cut-Off Question

As with my own personal truck, I am using a negative output from my alarm system to trigger a relay that will interrupt the circuit from the horn relay to the ignition switch when I "arm" the alarm. My BATT power to the alarm is run separately from the starter, thru a fuse, to the alarm itself.

I am running a 6 channel alarm system, so I have several optional outputs I can use for various other functions.

But to answer your question, LostMy65, YES it can very well be controlled by a keyfob type system, such as a very basic 2 channel keyless entry, but utilizing the outputs for different functions. Most of these systems use a negative trigger output, and built in circuit protection and relays, making designing a system a lot easier.
