All right kiddies, here ya go.
This is an ebay-purchased kit that was under the title "Push-to-start". Keep in mind, with the mod I did, I still have to have the key in the ON position. It is not a stand-alone ignition solution. I'm sure if I really wanted to, I could introduce relays and switches to make it a true keyless ignition, but this is just a simple Push-button start addition to the keyed ignition.
I can also still use the key to start the car normally, if need be.
What the kit comes with:
One push button starter with power wires running out the back
One relay box
two optional mounting screws for relay box
two optional pieces of double sided tape for relay box
two rubber gaskets
one screw-on fastener for back of button
I decided to mount mine in place of the hazard switch, while relocating the hazard elsewhere. I started by taking the center vent out, along with the gauge cluster and unmounting the hazard switch from its position:
Then I push the wiring from the button through the hole and put the gaskets on either side respectively along with screwing the fastener on the back tight. This was actually a perfect-fit hole, I was very surprised.
After that, I took the relay box wiring and spliced the red wire into a switched power source (I used the purple wire from the gauge cluster), if you don't use a switch source, the LED will be on all the time. Then grounded to the body with the black wire. The two blue wires go to the fat RED power wire and the fat YELLOW ignition wire in the igition wiring pack. They are basically skipping the ignition switch when they are engaged. Sorry no pic.
For the next part, you can do a couple things. You have to disable PASSLOCK. This is the part I got hung up on. You can either :
1) use a module like the DEI 555L (which I tried and did not work, although not sure if I wired it correctly), or you can
2) Find the resistance of your key by using a multimeter and cutting the yellow PASSLOCK wire while the key is in the ON position and bridging the KEY SIDE of the yellow wire to the BLACK ground wire, then using a series of resistors connect the BCM side of the yellow wire to the BLACK ground wire, or in my case,
3) Use a simple ON/OFF switch and bridge the yellow PASSLOCK wire. In order to do this, the car must be running. Once running, cut the yellow wire, splice the switch into either side of the yellow wires, and make sure the switch is in the ON position. Once all spliced in, flip the switch to OFF. I wrapped electrical tape around it, so its switched to that position. NOTE: this method will disable the security system and leave the security light on. I just took that bulb out lol.
Turn the car off, wait a few minutes and start it up normally. If it works, awesome, if not, try one of the other methods.
Turn the car off, connect the wiring from the button to the relay box. Turn the key to ON position. Push your beautiful new Engine Start button and bask in its gloriousness!
