Push Start Button

[richd]

well i fitted a push start button today, i know its a tipical gimiky thing but needed to fill the hole where the cig light used to live, so what better than a push start LOL!

and yes it does work, ive added a few pics for you who may want to fit one for your self.



dont worry they are well insulated now, just wanted to show the process.

and here is the how the button looks

seriously how is it that hard to put it in the wrong section :dapprove: nice place you have put the button though

Do you still have to put the key in the ignition?

 

[richd]

yes you do, for the immobilser, it can be wired in so you dont have to turn the key, but i wanted it to start with the key or the button just in case the button broke lol.

What I thought. Isn't there a decoder ring or something around the ignition barrel to pick up the key and disable the immobiliser? If I'm right, surely pressing the button without the key should stop the engine from working since the immobiliser would still be operative.

EDIT: Why does this forum not have new post notifications? :dapprove:

Here's mine, it actually serves a purpose

Fair play if i fitted a push start button myself it would result in fire lol.

 

[R1XPH]

LOL.

I want one of these, my missus has it on her 11 plate Civic, and i love it.

 

[Xanda73]

Missus 54 plate Megane has it. Nothing new...

Only "cool" if you don't have to put a key in (like one of those "credit card" keys that go in your wallet)

Can't see the attraction of putting a key in... then pressing a button.

Fair play though, can't have been that easy to do so credit where it's due and all

Can any of you guys advise me how to fit a button start with the ability to bypass the immobiliser and no need for a key?

Mk1 FRS requires the key to be in and turned to ignition. Can't start off the key either, you have to use the button.

Agreed though, never seen the point in it myself.
