has anyone tried doing this with the cobalt? i did it on my old xterra and it worked great. if i did it, would it screw with my remote start or anything else?

It's really not hard if you can find the proper wires to splice into with a push switch.

same thing as your remote start basically. and since you have a remote start, this means you have a transponder bypass already. All you need to do after the remote start is activated is get in the car, press the push button twice without your foot on the brake so it says "ignition". It will then hold ignition and you can put your foot on the brake which will shut down the remote start and "takeover" the vehicle. However, you will have to bypass your steering wheel lock one of two ways: a) cut one of your factory keys and leave it turned to accessory, making sure you disconnect the accessory line from the ignition cylinder, as well as ignition (so that nobody can easily steal the vehicle with that key) and put a cover over it or b) remove the steering wheel lock completely, otherwise you will look like a honda s2000 retard putting in a key, turning it to ignition and then pressing a button to start the car and drive away, defeating the whole point of a push start. Good luck with your install.

hmm... what i would do is cut the key base off, and shove the key in the ignition and leave it there, just carry my fob around!

then i'd put the push button start where the hazard button is

RFID Proximity Sensing Keyless Push Button Start System | eBay

250 on ebay. all of these kits are essentially the same thing...a bunch of microrelays and an RFID emitter made by the lowest bidder (from china of course) surrounded by cheap ABS plastic. With these kits, you can't really go wrong with any company...unfortunately nowadays that goes for remote starts as well...your 500 dollar Viper systems are the same things as the 100 dollar systems, you're just paying for a snake logo on your brain. And don't get me wrong, I'm always the guy that says "good **** ain't cheap and cheap **** ain't good", but in some cases this axiom doesn't apply.

I like the idea of the $250-$400, it's pretty cool. But the fact that it's minimum $250 kinda sucks. I got my push button started for my truck from Canadian Tire for $35 and the wires for $5! The bad part about that is the whole leaving the key in the ignition thing, seems kinda dangerous cuz anyone can just take the car if they got in! Arg.... there's too many pros and cons to it!!
