I work as a RAA patrolman and I'm surprised why they don't fit these to all modern vehicles. The amount of times a battery goes flat because the interior light or boot light stayed on. Even sticky solenoid for the cooling fan. But I wouldn't trust the remote key one, in case you accidently trigger it whilst it's going. The remote button is a good idea. Especially in the case of fire, or the start of an electric major short.

No risk there, it has to be connected to a wire that has 12V when the engine is running, e.g. fuel pump. Then it will not cut power even if you push the button or the voltage falls below 11.9V. Very clever design
