Push Button Start

neonblack · 02-01-2004, 05:56 PM

I was curious to know where I could purchase a push button starter switch kit. Does anyone here have one installed? If so, where could I find one?

Thanks.

Very cool idea!

I'm curious to hear some ideas as well!

Yeah I have always wanted to also. I think that autozone/pepboys has some of them, they are kind of general application though. My friend has one on their SCCA vette and it gives it much more of a race car feeling.

Haven't guys been using the ones off the S2000s?

do you still need to use a key after that? or is all you do is push the button? - also does this work on lt1 f-bodys, im pretty sure the ignition is the same right?

i wouldnt feel safe if you still didnt need a key after that
just seems like all the work is done for the guy who wants your car
but, i am interested as well, seems like a pretty cool idea

I read up on it, you still must use your key for it to work. But im still unsure if the lt1 guys can use it

unvc92camarors · 02-02-2004, 07:32 PM

how do you still use the key? do you place it in the ignition still or what?
i wouldnt see why lt1 guys couldnt use it, i'm pretty sure the ignition stayed the same all 4th gen because i havent read otherwise but...i'm just speculating

here it works like this. You tap into the 12v+ batt cord, then into the ingition wire. You put a relay on both and then attach the wires from that to the switch, so basically nothing really changes except the fact you dont have to turn the key, which wouldnt start the car anyway cause you cut the wire to the ignition lock. So instead of turning the key all the way down like you would to start, you just push the button and bamm, revvvv revvvvvv

Somehow you made that sound like you don't have to use the key AT ALL

.............but I (hope) think you were trying to say that instead of turning the key all the way to "start", you just turn the key to "on", then press the start button?

That would make sense, and also still make use of the key
