Hey has anyone done this to their car? I'm trying to figure out by the diagram if the car needs to have the key turned to the on position for the button to function or the car just has to be only unlocked...not sure maybe someone knows better

Here is the diagram ..i'm trying to get this done this week while i'm on spring break

Thanks for the help!

IMO It's a bling thing, but I've seen it done.

well by reading those two links you provided...I think the key doesnt need to be in the ignition to use the start, so them i'm not doing it. I'd like the key to still have to be in the ignition..thanks for the links

key needs to be in the "on" position. push button starter only sends power to the starter, not the entire car. a newer car like a caddy or nissan, they have the whole push the button to turn the car on/start/acc/off. that would be one hell of a project!

i was going to put one in my truck. the company was ignited that made the switch. i mounted it first to see how i would run the wires and what not but every time a friend got in the truck, running or not, they would push the button and be like does this seriously work?!? i would have no teeth on the starter and/or flywheel by now!

there's a thread on this somewhere on here, i was interested in it and am still debating it
the resistor in the key (so it has to be in the ignition) is what's holding me back

I actually had the resistor in the key bypassed..I was going to need to replace the ignition column because the contacts where worn out and the car wouldnt start..so my mechanic (i forgot the exact process) tested the resistence on a wire,, and just sodered a resistor in.
