Push button start, yes/no?and where on the dash??

[Lodger]

Any ideas anyone? or anyone done it? Ave bought a richbrook push start button no flashin crap straight forward and sleek. cheers

[saxorino]

I had one in my old saxo, i put it next to the hazerd light button.
and il do it again when i get the chance.

[Mr_P]

[M1VT]

i wouldnt ind one of them...

[PETE-VTR]

novelty does wear off +1 i hardly use mine anymoree.

[liam-o]

replace the ciggy lighter?

[AnthonyVTR]

Predatorvtr what's that thing made out of in the centre console infront of the gear stick? The thing covering the hole...bad explanation i know :(

[Predator_R32]

Its an ipod holder mate ;) just mdf, i did a guide in the ice stickies

I have to use starter button to start car as the keys dont do it, all about how you wire it up

[AnthonyVTR]

^Did you make it yourself?

[Predator_R32]

Yeah mate, check the guide out, can knock one up in about 4 hours from start to finish including trimming it :y:

[GoochyBoy]

i think itd be quite good to have 1 tbh - never even thought of it

[NICK2506]

if the engines on and you press the button does it turn on the starter motor. cause if i fitted one all my mates would press it whilst the engines on.

also with it do you have to turn the key all the way (3 clicks), and then press the button?

This is a good point... how would this effect the immobiliser with doing 1 click first?

[Predator_R32]

You still have to turn the key to ignition on mine then press the starter button

like a said its all bout how you wire it you can wire it in to use bothe button and key to start, you just basically tape the wire up from the barrel side for just the button ad splice into it for using both

tbh i think its a good security mod, i put the button down by the handbrake and not many criminals wil lthink a button will start the car, i know its says engine start but you can turn the bezel round so its just red which i keep meaning to do

[ally-vts]

ive got mine in the fag lighter hole, needs gluing in, i keep poking it through haha

[Tontsy]

novelty does wear off +1 i hardly use mine anymoree.

same here... used mine about 5 times :n: still new people in the car find it good.

[Liio]

Is there a guide to wiring 1 up as my key does not start the engine so it will be ideal for me

[liam-o]

yer id like to see a guide for this, maybe something for pred to sort out :D

[wellsy]

Mines up in the headlining, just in front of interior light :)

[liam-o]

ah that a kool place, got a pic?

also just thought you could maybe put on in the visor it the buttons not too deep

In yours this seems fine, however if you were to wire this up so it didnt require the key - would it not pose a huge security risk as there is no way i can see of using the immobiliser? plus the fact that by the sounds of it you would only have to forget to lock your car once and some little bitch decides to come in a see a big nice button that shows "ignition"???

[liam-o]

i would quite like a keypad instead of a button :)

[NICK2506]

should have bought a Mk1 then :)

why would anyone wire it up so your dont need a key anyway?

[Luke-saxo]

yes i would like to see a guide for this too
would need a guide because havent got a clue when
its comes to somthing like that :)

[jware92]

why would anyone wire it up so your dont need a key anyway?

how would you turn the ignition off?
why not get a big flashing sign saying "steal me"?

You cant really bypass the immobiliser without the key anyway mate, older cars yes but newer cars not a chance

And there is a guide i did :y:

[Steve87]

Exactly my point, it was said earlier about the 2 ways of wiring it up- one such way disables the key ignition.

If for arguments sake you wire it up so you are able to use the key as well, does this not make the button ABSOLUTLEY pointless???? may as well get a sticker and save yourself the wiring???

[Steve87]

Does sound a waste of time imo; nice idea - but a bit impractical

[jware92]

i would wire it up so you turn the ignition on with the key and just have a button to start it. looks flash with you mates in the car but is absoulutly pointless.

it tells you exacly how to wire it in the haynes saxo modifying manuel.
theres one in the for sale section

[Predator_R32]

Its a gadget tbh i love gadgets, only reason i got one

Personal preference at the end of the day, not impractical if it actually works ;)

Max power haynes manual does tell you how to wire it up but its wrong for some saxos

I guess so mate - suppose it could look pretty suave for a few weeks ;-)

oviously starting a car with a button and no key is stupid, but i dont think anyone mentioned doing that , wtf?:geek:

[Predator_R32]

Novelty hasnt wore off for me tbh

ermmm is this is what u are talking about???

[LSOfreak]

i didnt mean to say they arent kl lol :oops:

[rossfisher89]

good idea, how much am i looking at to do it?

[Predator_R32]

ermmm is this is what u are talking about???

key goes in turns to ignition, this bypass's immobiliser so you can start the car

its only started by button not the key, key still has to be in

[GTJames]

So what would happen if you turned the key to the starter click, would the car start? Or have you bypassed that completely so it doesnt work?

[Predator_R32]

Yes it wont work turning key, key still has to be in but engine only starts with button

all you have to dois wire it straight to the starter button relay rather than splicing into the ignition wire

[joelb]

mines in where the headunit should be along with fuel pump switch and fan switch
