simplest way to rig up a push button start?
I'm wondering what the simplest way to rig up a push button start is... can i just splice a couple wires to a switch , and be done?

i've seen the s2000 button.. that is really sweet
if you could find that step by step, that'd be awesome.
It looks like my ignition switch or something isn't working right, so i figure it'll be cheaper to do a pushbutton start than replace the part

We tried this on my car, i put it in my cigarette lighter since the person before me broke it and pushed it through, and it fit right in. I went to the honda dealership and bought one for like 30 bucks, and now its sitting in my garage. We wired it all up, it worked, put the console back together, it stopped working. Pulled it apart, checked all the connections, it worked, put the console back together and it wouldn't work. Couldn't get it to work again after that so we gave up lol. Looked pretty cool, i'm sure if we pulled it apart again we could get it to work.

You still need the key to be in the ignition, in the "ON" position. All the button does is replace the last key motion from "ON" to "START". You can wire it so that the key still has complete functionality, or so that only the button will start the car. I put one in my SS in place of the cigarette lighter.

I would say for security sake, place the button in a spot like under the dash, and disable the key start. If you placed it somewhere out of sight, where someone trying to steal the car wouldn't look, it would be pretty darn safe. Especially if the key's "start" option was disabled for the push button start. It's not very "bling", but it'd be much safer.

to those of you who did this, about how long did it take you to complete?? from the instructions i've seen, shouldn't take more than an hour or so to do the wiring, and maybe a little time fabbing up a spot to put the button.

From what everyone has said it should fit fine right in place of your cig lighter, that is if your not a smoker and don't use it
