Battery kill switch?

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a battery kill switch? Or do I have to go through all the rigmarole of emptying the boot!??

This was not in hence lots of water!! Took her back to spray shop, but they said they didn't touch it! Hmmm ...

Quite fancy seeing it all on the screen, have looked at the parrot kits, but not really a seamless install! Thank you --- I am here: http://maps.google.com ...

I contacted one off eBay, he seems like he knows what he's on about, sending it off Monday morning, he's also selling the update disc and maps to me for £30. Sounded good to me, fingers crossed I'll let you know if it all works!
