    I'm planning to park my Prius on the street unattended for several weeks. I was thinking it would be no harm to augment the Toyota immobilizer with a little extra protection*. Any experts got suggestions on easy parts to pull that prevent the engine starting, but keep the immobilizer working?

    (* from theft ... I already installed a cover for the catalytic converter)
