ok im gonna be attempting an engine start button soon, u guys want pics and instructions if it works out??

 

helll yea

 

if its not outrageously pricey then yea i think a lot of members would jump on it. just remember if it does work out pretty well detailed pics and diagrams will be your and our best friends

 

I don't understand the point. It will never be one of the kind where you just get in the car with the key in you pocket and hit the start button. If you have to put the key in the ignition, there's no point in having a start button. It's just another step.

 

^^^ agreed. its annoying getting in a s2k turning the car to the on position then hitting the start button. id rather just crank it a little further.

 

Ours is already kinda pushbutton. You just bump the key forward and let it go. The car automatically starts.

 

I'd like to see this done.

 

^^This. No need for another step really. I mean kudos for originality...but fail on practicality.

 

i can't see it being that difficult to set it up for strickly the push button i mean remote starters do the exact same thing so really all you would need to do is have the push button some sort of component to continue telling the engine that it needs to keep running and a connection to the starter or ignition module. i know its more difficult then what i'm typing but you guys get the jyst of it.

 

I would like to see it. Would love to see the set up. If it's like the s2000, then screw it, it's pointless.

 

this.

if you're eliminating the need for the stock key, then go for it. Its already out there (like in remote starters mentioned above)

 

not my 06...

 

my '06 was. All cobalts should, as they all use the same ignition switch assembly

 

yep!

 

yes it is unless you broke something. It's electronic start. When key is put in start position, the computer tries to start the engine till it fires. No need to hold the key down.

 

I just want to have like i did on my GTI where I didnt have to put the clutch in. haha.. I miss that.

(friend did it for me so i dont know how it was done before)

 

My ex g/f had a Hyundi Sonata with remote start, and once you start it with the remote, in order to DRIVE you have to put the key in and turn it to the ON position. So it's kind f another step, but it's NOT at the same time, cause it unlocks your car when you use remote start (at least hers did)

 

If this is what you are talking about... it's been done... here ya go
