Push button start

[bizarre179]

Do they make something like what Porshe and Mercades have, where you dont even need a key. Once you are in the car, you hit your button to start. Just wondering if a kit is out there?

[natedawg9640]

you can retrofit it... i think aftermath_alero has done it... course richie seems to have done about everything... might be antoher who's done it

[cherrington17]

aftermath MADE his own. its not that hard to do... just wiring and relays, and a couple switches.

i think what bizarre is after, is a unit that will sense when the key is w/in range and respond accordingly.

to which, i haven't seen...yet.

yeah it's probably not a good idea to be able to turn on your car by just pushing a button

unless you want it stolen real easily

[cherrington17]

which is why you have a power button, to the ignition, hidden somewhere discreet... so you have to push/hold that, while hitting the start key....


but i agree... w/o some kind of security feature, its not too safe. (the reason why i haven't done it)

lol u guys are close, keep trying

wow... those vents look horrible. :lol:


but thats exactly what i would try to avoid. unless you have a killswitch somewhere.... my car would get jacked in no time w/ a setup like that.

[TheEdgeofSanity]

what about the system the corvettes have? it'd be expensive but you could prolly buy that system and retrofit it.

Ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Oldsmobile-Alero-Push-Button-Engine-Start-System-NEW_W0QQitemZ120154251209QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item1 20154251209&_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116)
It's right there ^ like $60

[AtomicX]

Wait, so with that you don't need a key at all?

[Onewing91]

That's what it looks like, but I don't know for sure, I just posted a link.... but you'll def. need a key for the door, unless you want to leave it unlocked and with a push-start.... resulting in> theft.

[Gr1m]

wow... those vents look horrible. :lol:
i dont remember who i bought them off of, but i bought a bunch of interior piece from various people and going to repaint it once i finish glassing my doors and dash

and BTW, you need switches hooked up to relays to power various things for your car (such as fuel pump, radio, etc.)

[AtomicX]

Well, if you have the keyless entry remote you can open it

[pimpalero2003]

who needs keys for doors these days just hit a button on ur remote and pop the door opens.
right vin

[bizarre179]

To be more specific... I got to drive a Porshe cayanne and a benz cl600 a couple years ago and all you need to do is be in the car with the "key" and hold a button on the shift knob and it would start. The key is really jus like a remote door unlocker. No actual key is involved. Its all sensor technology I believe. Wether its secure or not... I could car less. No one wants to steal my car, and if so... good luck with it!

[Gr1m]

you could get that in your alero but im sure the module for that is pricey, not worth it imo

[Vinalero]

Eh-Nigma also did something similar, I think you have to hide the key cylinder somewhere with the key in it at the start position.

[Gr1m]

me and aftermath dont have igy cylinders.

[cherrington17]

i believe hes talking about something like this....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyless_Go
(i tried getting the animation from mercedes, but they actually have intelligent people design their sites to prevent that)
and good lord, would that be alot of work to retrofit, not to mention a BUTTLOAD of money.

[Satsuriku]

agreed. not worth it at all, though if you had the cash to blow cause your bored.....go for it

[paulyb]

im trying to find a web site with the information on that system but nothing is coming up.

[YALEROYNOT]

my mom has a mini the key fob goes in to a slot in the dash and then has a push button start. no key to turn

[meadus101]

A Friend of Mine had this done on his Focus Zx3 and His friend has it done to a Sunbird too.


They way theirs worked was that you Put the key in and Turn it to ON. Then Push the button for the igntion.

Of Course, You COULD Hide a Key in the On Position and use your Remote Unlocker. But It's probably not very safe.

[shiny alero]

the hyundais and nissans have that system. its just a key fob that senses when your close. you cant start it without being within like 2 feet of the car.

[pimpalero2003]

yep the veracruz walk up to the car with key in pocket and it will unlock with pushing a button on handle then u get in and just turn where the key should be and it starts. can be done with flob 2
