Would a simple hidden switch count as a security device for SVA purposes?

It would count as a "second one" for sure.
You need two security methods. Either 2 electrical or 1 electrical and the other mechanical. That is why a standard steering lock/ignition switch
qualifies.
I personally would go for a cat II immobiliser as they are fairly cheap and cut three circuits.
Someone finding the switch is not as secure.
Mine for the falcon is a very large bike chain and a welded on shackle to the chassis
I got a Cat2 imopbiliser off Bay of E.
no problem, worked ok, went thru SVA....
The only drawback was the insurance, they would not accept my home fitting.
I had to get it VSIB certified before they would accept it (for the insurance discount).
luckily my local alarm place raced a MK Indy.
So when I drove in there in the Viento and parked next to their MK, I got star treatment!.
They inspected it, (all of the car) talked about the alarm, and how and where I had wired it, then wrote me out a VSIB certificate and charged me a
tenner.
Well worth it to have it all sorted.
It would cost me more if I had it all fitted professionally. And it wouldnt have all be laid in, and hidden up in the wiring loom.
Job Sorted..
