If you look at the pictures I posted above, you can see I have done exactly that. I have a switch that engages/disengages the start button.

My thought was such that if I have some numb-nut in my car and we're driving down the road, and they say "what does this button do?" <idiot pushes button> **Horrible Grinding Noise**

Also the start button will not work unless the ignition is in the 'On' position.

Instead of that switch, you should be able to use a latching relay: basically a relay that kicks on after the starter is engaged and keeps the starter button from working until you cycle the IGN line off and back on, resetting the relay. It would take some research to find the exact relay and wiring needed to make it work, but it would be an idiot proof, zero step, solution.

That's basically how remote start systems prevent the user from engaging the starter with the key while the car is running after a remote start.

WRCsubeRS · 2006-08-23, 03:23 PM

That is also a very viable option which would be worth looking into. I will look into something like that and determine the cost involved. While it is a terrific idea, I would like to keep this as cost effective for everyone as possible.

Thanks for the sugestion!

tysonK · 2006-08-23, 04:44 PM

Can you get the cool red engine start buttons like the S2000? Cause that would pretty much rule.

WRCsubeRS · 2006-08-23, 05:22 PM

Absolutely! Any button can be worked into the system.

So yes they could easily steal the car, but they're not going to get very far.

Awesome. So someone who tries to steal the car will be virtually guaranteed to wreck it! It's the perfect solution to vehicle theft.

Then when they wreck, you could engineer some red-hot pokers to come out of the steering wheel airbag and brand them. (Sounds like sperry...

.)

The main idea of this system is not for antitheft. It is for the "coolness" factor and for convenience. Remember that you can make the system keyless start is only an option and not requierd when using our system.

Thanks again for all the input and please keep any questions and coments coming.

Nick Koan · 2006-08-24, 01:55 PM

Does the clutch have to be in for this to work? Or does it bypass that?

WRCsubeRS · 2006-08-24, 02:21 PM

Yes, the clutch must be engaged for the car to start.

WRXRallyBlue · 2006-08-27, 04:45 PM

Much better price than I anticipated. Free bump!

One idea is to make a latch using relays so that once the car is started and the button is pressed, you can turn the key off and take it out. Now to open the latch, the - brake wire signal is used (with a diode) so that when the brake pedal is depressed the latch opens and the car turns off. This provides the warm up feature, without just anyone being able to jump in your car and start it and it also provides some security because when the brake pedal is pressed the car dies unless the keys are in the ignition (one could also use the clutch - wire for the same effect). I Have done this allready on my chevy, but was hesitatnt to cut into my suby wires. If someone were to make harnesses and connectors it would be awesome.

Just buy a remote start system. Same functionality, plus you can start the car from inside the house on a cold day.

It's happened again. What's worse is that I almost never forget to lock my doors, yet I still leave my keys in the ignition... ugh...
