A stealthy transmission shift interlock solenoid kill switch system includes a first stealthy user interface being located within the 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 configured to operate an automatic transmission gear position of the vehicle, a vehicle power interrupt feature, an automatic transmission shift interlock solenoid switch, a controller being operably coupled to the first stealthy user interface, a brake pedal of the vehicle, and the vehicle power interrupt feature. The controller is configured to manage an operating mode of the vehicle center console transmission gear shift knob and thereby prohibit power from reaching the automatic transmission shift interlock solenoid switch so that the vehicle center console transmission gear shift knob is prohibited from being displaced out of a park position.
