Has anyone ever installed a Start Button?

[Jack Parke]

Hey guys I'm just wondering if anyone has installed a start button from eBay

Link http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/321636887349

The guys over at MCM

Show how it is done and looks simple, they say specific wires etc I was just wondering what colour the wires would be in my 2002 Clio 1.2 16V

Thanks!

Problem is that you still need to use the key. Which completely negates any purpose in having it.

But if you want to do it, then go ahead, why not.

Sadly I can't tell you which wires you need, but best of luck.

If I get round to it I'll let you know how it goes haha

You can get an aftermarket keyless system can't you? Might be more worthwhile.

I agree with McGherkin just the button alone is silly, we had one (as stock) on our old FN2 civic, you still have to put the key in and turn the ignition on, but then you have to go and press a stupid button too??

Made no sense to me.

Why though? Surely putting a key in and turning it isnt that hard?

Not trying to discredit what you're doing. I just find it hard to find the point in going to all the effort for very little return?

Because it looks cool. Think of all that time and effort you've gone through for your damp damp car ;-)

Shh you. If it looks cool I'll superglue one to my dashboard. I'd rather have a nice dry interior than a start button 😂

Just an update on this, my sisters boyfriend will be helping me install this. It has been ordered, and I'll be seeing him on the 27th so hopefully it'll be delivered and installed

Stick a guide up when you're done

Stick a guide up when you're done :wink:

Oh I dunno about that, I couldn't take responsibility for ruining someone's car if they did it wrong haha

Start button is pretty easy tbf.

I've got a system on my car that gets rid of the key altogether and I have 3 buttons instead.

Just saves me having to get the key out of my pocket #becauselazy

That would be awesome, as the start button was only a tenner I couldn't not give it a go
