Another safeguard would be to add a small switch in the console area that disables the parking brake switch. When turned off it would prevent a passenger from inadvertently locking up the rear tires. It could also be used as a theft deterrent. You could set the brake and then put the semi-hidden switch in the off position.

I would agree with @davidnunn partially..(relocating the hazard switch is quite the undertaking)

The switch that comes in the kit does not look like a common parking brake switch as you see in all other cars so 99% of the people would not know what that which is, but the location of the switch might be a giveaway if it’s in the center console! Besides 98% of all car thieves would not know how to drive stick!
Electric parking brake switch in the area of the emergency hazard switch so nothing bad can happen accidentally… and a small idiot light so you don’t forget…

this is my idiot light

this also would be a good place for the switch and there is enough room….

And you can wire it so you only can set the parking brake if the ignition is off!!

That would actually make sense… I think 🤔 just thinking out loud…
