Stealthy transmission shift interlock solenoid kill switch system and associated method(s)

A stealthy transmission shift interlock solenoid kill switch system, said stealthy transmission shift interlock solenoid kill switch system comprising:

• a first stealthy user interface being located within a vehicle and further being configured to be stealthy and hidden from a vehicle driver's line of sight;
• a vehicle center console transmission gear shift knob being located in the vehicle and further being configured to operate an automatic transmission gear position of the vehicle;
• a vehicle power interrupt feature being located in the vehicle and further being operably coupled to said vehicle center console transmission gear shift knob;
• an automatic transmission shift interlock solenoid switch being located in the vehicle and further being operably coupled to said vehicle center console transmission gear shift knob and said vehicle power interrupt feature;
• a controller being located in the vehicle and further being operably coupled to said first stealthy user interface, a brake pedal of the vehicle, and said vehicle power interrupt feature, said controller further being configured to manage an operating mode of said vehicle center console transmission gear shift knob;
• upon receiving a first stealthy user input, said first stealthy user interface being configured to generate and transmit a gear shift deactivation signal to said controller;
• upon receiving said gear shift deactivation signal, said controller being configured to generate and transmit a power interrupt signal to said vehicle power interrupt feature and thereby prohibit power from reaching said automatic transmission shift interlock solenoid switch;
• wherein said vehicle center console transmission gear shift knob is configured to be prohibited from being displaced out of a park position while power is prohibited from reaching said automatic transmission shift interlock solenoid switch.
