Default RFID ignition switch on the cheap

Trying to understand how to make an RFID tag activate my ignition switch (eliminating the key). Looks like I can pick up an RFID tag/reader for cheap but how do you get the reader to trip the ignition switch? wireless relay?

This is something I covered in my thread.

Someone on a mustang website posted a how to and also sells the plug and play kit.
How To

He integrated his factory alarm with his keyless ignition. I'm sure you can integrate the similar type of module with your RFID System.

That post has nothing to do with RFID. They are using their PATS anti-theft system and a switch to activate their ignition.
