I've been volunteered. I should be able to have this done next month sometime.
Now where can I find a button that says, "eject?" ![]()

Thanks for the Response!
We are looking at a baseline price of $59, the price of course depends on the configuration you choose. The cheapest package will include everything to make the car push button start only. Upgraded packages would include such options as different buttons (eg. The 'Start Engine' button found in the S2000) and different configurations (eg. Complete keyless start). |

Wow that is way less than I was expecting. Now I don't want to be totally noobish, but this will be in addition to the normal key ignition?
Oh yeah, would you happen to have any pictures of your work?

The system can be configured in a number of different ways:
My personal setup is set so you turn the key to the 'On' position, then press the button to start. If you turn the key to the start position the car will not start. The system can also be setup for complete keyless start, however the key is still required to bypass the ignition interlock. Aditionally the system can be configured for both key and push button start, however this takes away from the entire point of push button start. I will see if I can get some pictures posted today of the system in my car Thanks Again

Here are some pics of the system I have installed in my WRX:
The switch to the right engages/disengages the start button, located to the left of the steering wheel. ![]() The Small button here is the Start button, located in center console: ![]() The switch is wired so it can disable the start button so the starter is not engaged while the engine is running. |

Yes the system can be configured keyless. You can literaly get into the car and start it, even if the keys are inside the house on the kitchen table. You can also drive the car without the key in the ignition, at least until the steering wheel locks. The requirement of the key is simply to disengage the steering lock, it acts as both a safety and security feature.

OK I understand, I thought you were talking about the RFID in STi keys.
Speaking of which, how do you get around the RFID in STi keys? |

While I am not entirely familiar with the STI's specific RFID system, I would imagine the system would be able to be bypassed somehow. Either by what MPREZIV suggests, simply putting the RFID chip in the car so it is always there, or by some other means. I will look further into this to see what can be done.

This system is not a Remote Start system, simply a Push Button start. The system is more or less for the "Coolness/Wow Factor". It is not meant to be a security system (although some features could be looked at like security system).

Here's how I'm looking at it: it's a winter evening at Bully's, and I want to warm my car up while chatting with the guys. With the keyless start, I can open the door and flip the switches to start the car without worrying about locking my keys in (done it once already).
It'll be nice at work, because I'll be able to warm up my car while I help take the trash around the corner without worrying about someone driving off with it. At home as well, because my house key and car key are on the same ring and I won't have to turn the car off if I realize that I left something in the house. So that's why I'm getting one. Partially for fun (and I plan on installing a Kartboy short shifter while we have the center console out, so two birds/one stone) and partially to make warming my car up easier and more secure.

I locked my keys in the car like 2 weeks ago. Started car, popped trunk to rummage around for something, door closed and somehow during all this the doors locked. Maybe this can keep me from climbing through my trunk to open my car.

I had to borrow a cell phone from the guy next to me, and use 411 to get the number for the only friend of mine that's listed, have him call my roommate, and get my roommate to bring the spare keys over. ![]() That reminds me, I still need to turn off the auto-lock feature on the remote start... I'm gonna do that tonight! </hijack> The "real" reason to get a push button start is for your race car. Many series require you to remove the steering lock mechanism, so if the car's off it can still be rolled and steered by emergency workers. So you install a pair of ignition kill switches that cut the battery (one inside the car, and one on the hood for emergency workers), and a starter button to operate the starter motor, and remove the key mechanism from the car entirely. If you do a starter button, you should have a latching relay or something that prevents the starter button from working while the car's running and while the ignition is off, or at least use a switch w/ a guard instead of a button that's easy to bump. You really don't want the starter to kick over while the motor's running... mucho grinding noises! ![]()

Ya I've done that a time or two. lol
Well someone could technically could drive off with your car, however as soon as they try to take a turn, the steering lock will engage. I learned this the hard way in my old legacy I put this system in. Driving through my neighborhood and I go to turn down one of the streets. I get half way through the turn and the steering lock engages. By the time I figured out that the steering lock had engaged, I was half way in someone's front yard. So yes they could easily steal the car, but they're not going to get very far. |
