Start Button

[SHAKEELE30]

Just bored, and came up with this idea for some reason...

Wondering how difficult it is to start the car with a push of a button. Has anyone done this, how you do it???

Is there any advantage of this..

Or even better does anyone know how to make a remote starter?

What you guys think, is there any point trying to do this or not?

Do you want the Ferrari F40 feeling when you start up the car?

There are plenty of kits out there.I have never fitted one but it should be pretty easy as all you are doing is feeding the ignition wire from the barrell to the the button instead in my eyes.
With regard to the remote starting...clifford alarms have this feature.

Got one, and aircraft ignition switch in the race car

The bloke who had my car before me had the cigarette lighter wired up to start the car. He claimed it was some sort security device as without the lighter in place nobody could steal the car.

Nice idea but I'm not sure I'll keep it like that though.

And sorry no i don't know how he did it although it was done by a professional auto electrician.

So how do you wire it up so you filck the ignition switch and then press the button to start the car ? so the ign key/lock can be done way with.

Yep the ingnition key is no longer used, flick the aircraft switch up ignition on, push button turns over
