Cornerdealy Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 are there any companies that sell kits to install a push button starter? Quote
kfahn Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 is this a bulldog remote system, or a push-button, (i am thinking push button as in the dash button) Quote
hazmatic Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 its push button as in button on the dash Quote
hazmatic Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 your gonna have to give me a minute to find so i dont remember where i purchased mine Quote
kfahn Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 thanks, I have been looking into this, but will most likely go for a graphite colored button, but how did you wire it? Quote
hazmatic Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 i had my papa install it fo me since i hat fuckin wit electrical shit but im sure its just a couple wires u need to connect to the ignition i had him get rid of the key thingy its self n put the button right there so all i had to do was press the buttin and she started right up but i would recomend a kill switch cause if u think about it its easy to steal but if u shop around there are so many push buttons out there some with toggle swithes u have to put to on the press the button n so on n so forth Quote
WhiteOut Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 I've got a friend with an old POS Jetta that has push button start. But thats more of a funtion of his ignition not working that anything else. I'll try to get some details from him about what he used and how he did it. Quote
1badtgp Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 Why in the name of GM would you want to add a push button starter? It's so Honda!! Quote
Cornerdealy Posted March 10, 2004 Author Report Posted March 10, 2004 maybe i'm just an idiot, but i cant seem to find any sites when doing a google and yahoo search. Can anyone give a link. Quote
supreme_style21 Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 Why in the name of GM would you want to add a push button starter? I was just gonna ask the same thing... Whats the 'advantage' of this? Quote
godofthunder Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 looks cool. Feels cool. Different than the norm Quote
weasle_13 Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 i agree, just because it seems "honda" to some, at least his car will still fly by the little ricers. and if he wants to make it look a little nicer while doing so, then more power to him. i was looking into it myself. Quote
Cornerdealy Posted March 10, 2004 Author Report Posted March 10, 2004 yeah I want to add a certain uniqueness to it. but can anyone give me any links for some good ones? preferably some with failsafe mechanisms. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 How are you going to prevent someone from stealing it? Quote
Cornerdealy Posted March 10, 2004 Author Report Posted March 10, 2004 thats where the safety mechanisms come in, you know like a remote start where if you try to put the car into gear when there is no key in the ignition, it will shut off. Yeah the push button really serves no purpose, i just like the look. Seeing that the key will have to be in for you to start it up, it is pointless to push a button instead of turniing a key, i just like idea. Plus you need to put the key in to unlock the wheel. Quote
no1kicker Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 The car would only drive if the key was in the on position. Same with the remote starters. You can start, but you need the key to drive. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 Hmmm, if you have to use the key anyway, that IS pointless. If you used a passive keyless RF transponder thingie like the XLR, that would be cool. I dunno, I just don't have an appreciation for useless mods no matter how "unique". That's why ricers exist.
