How Do Turbo Timers Work?
I mean I know what their function is, but...
the e-brake allows the TT to engage and continue idling the engine, right?
What prevents someone from hopping in, keeping the e-brake engaged and just driving off with my car?

So wait, which is it? Is the e-brake the safety, or putting it in gear.
legendr35's setup isn't very theft resistant.
Are different TTs setup in different ways?
I'll get one if the gear safety is incorporated into any or all of them. Otherwise, I'm not taking my chances.

My TT(Greddy) has Ebrake sensor and also speed sensor signal input
so either pushing eE-brake down or moveing the car will shut down the car.
I had to connect 1 wire to e-brake S/W and another one to ECU.

i have the apex'i auto timer. it has an option to hook it up to the parking break so if its lowered when the timer is counting down the engine will shut off.
i used a greddy wiring harness for easy installation. no wire splicing. just remove the panel underneath the dash board and plug and play.
i didnt add the parking brake option.
the timer is one of the smallest made. about the size and thickness of your middle finger.
mine is mounted in the glove box and dosent take up any space at all.
about 80-100 dollars for the timer. 10-20 dollars for the wiring harness.

All tt's are different.
I think all of them have the ebrake feature.
