Any fitted a push button start?

They will refuse to pay in case of a claim, if they find out that the owner deliberately crippled a standard security feature of the vehicle.

Insurance companies are getting quite good at avoiding payment, although they are happy to accept the premiums, lol...

Has anyone fitted one of these? How hard was it? I got told you need to wire it up to the alternator and starter. Whose got one then! :eyebrows:

 

have a look on SF. there are a few installed over there.

There's only about four wires in the back of the key barrel. All you need to do is bridge the one for the starter with your button. Unfortunately I can't remember which colour one that is, but it'll already be spliced if you have an after market alarm.

OK, the white block you want is directly attached to the key barrel, and there are five wires in there:

- White

- White with red stripe

- Black with yellow stripe

- Black with white stripe

- Black with orange stripe

 

If you can't see this clearly, you need to take more of the dashboard apart.

 

You want to bridge the white to the black-with-white-stripe, but ONLY DO THIS IF YOUR STARTER BUTTON IS NON-LATCHING (it closes the circuit only while the button is pressed). This worked fine last time I did it.

Got one on mine - came with it installed when I bought her in July.

 

Obviously requires the key in the ignition anyway to start her up so pretty pointless in my opinion mate.

 

Flash, maybe, but doesn't exactly contribute anything.

 

Nice to not have to turn the key I suppose :)
