Cut types
GPSpedia recognizes four cut point types:Bomba de Combustible
Fuel pump cut. Interrupting this circuit prevents the engine from receiving fuel, immobilizing the vehicle without affecting the ignition system.
Señal al Botón
Signal to button cut. Used on push-button start vehicles — interrupts the signal between the start button and the ECU.
Corte de Ignición
Ignition cut. Interrupts the ignition circuit, cutting power to the vehicle’s primary control systems.
Apertura de Puertas
Door release. Identifies the wire used to trigger central locking or door release — useful for integration with GPS devices that include a door control output.
Cut point detail view
Tapping a vehicle record from the catalog or search results opens the cut point detail modal. The modal is divided into several sections.Vehicle overview
The top of the detail view shows:- A vehicle image (tap to open in the high-resolution lightbox)
- The vehicle’s brand, model, applicable versions, and year range
- An ignition type label
- A notaImportante alert box (shown in red when present) — read this before proceeding with the installation
Recommended cut
The first cut shown is labeled Corte Recomendado. This is the cut point with the highest number of community votes from other GPS technicians who have marked it as useful. It includes:| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Cut type | The category of interruption (see cut types above) |
| Location | Descriptive text indicating where in the vehicle the wire is found |
| Cable color | The wire color to identify at that location |
| Relay configuration | The relay wiring scheme required — tap the name to open the relay info modal |
| Cut image | A photo of the actual cut point location (tap to enlarge) |
| Contributor | The GPSpedia member who submitted this cut point |
Alternative cuts
If a record includes additional cut point options (up to three total), they appear below the recommended cut in collapsible Accordion sections. Expand them to compare alternatives — for example, when the recommended cut location is inaccessible on a specific vehicle variant.Supplementary sections
Below the cut points, the detail view may include:Apertura de Puertas
Apertura de Puertas
When present, this section shows the wire used to trigger central locking or door release — separate from the main immobilization cut points. Includes the wire location, color, and an installation photo.
Cables de Alimentación

Power supply wire information for the GPS device itself — identifies where to tap into a constant 12V source. Includes photo documentation.
Vídeo Guía de Desarme

An embedded YouTube video showing how to disassemble the relevant part of the vehicle’s interior to access the cut point location. The video stops automatically when you close the modal.
Cut image interactions
Each cut image supports two actions via overlay buttons:Mark as useful
Tap the Marcar como útil button (thumbs up) to vote for a cut point. Your vote:- Turns the button green immediately (optimistic UI)

- Contributes to the community ranking that determines which cut is shown as Corte Recomendado

Tap the Reportar un problema button (warning icon) if the cut point information appears incorrect, the photo does not match the vehicle, or you encounter another issue. You will be prompted to describe the problem before it is submitted to the GPSpedia feedback system.High-resolution lightbox
