How about an electrical combination lock.  I haven't put it on a car yet, but 
you put four or five mini pushbutton switches in a smallish box and run your 
main red wire through it.  The box can be on the floor within reach of the 
driver's seat, but out of the way.  Some, but not all of the switches are 
connected so that current flows only when the right "combination" of switch buttons 
is pushed.  This was used for the outside switch on a garage door opener a 
friend had.
