i believe he is trying to say, he wants his "key ignition" in the floor board where the Valet lock is. Swap out that lock for the ignition there. and put the push button start in the position of the hazzard light button.
but where do you put the hazzard button, and why dont you put the push button where the key start used to be, when someone walks up to your car and goes to steal it, when it is wired up for no key needed, then you just got your car stolen, then what will the insurance say. anyways i think thats what he was talking about.

you can fire all your accessories at once, you dont need all those extra switches, what is yrou civic a jetplane? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
as to the key, DEI 555U is the part name. now its not only remote start, but you can hook it up to your alarm!
so this is technically DIY pushbutton start, but its also the first half of DIY remote start, which has cost me $15 in parts so far, and all I am missing is the 555U [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
I kinda saw different types of setup for the push button start ignition. Well I like this one coz of the multiple flip switches that sorta makes it look like an airplane hehe =)
But anyways, I just wanted to check if the wire colors are correct though. Most of the other setups that I've seen states that the red/black wire is the starter wire.
well i read up about how relays work and stuffs, and I kinda figured out the circuit. Basically I was thinking of using this method where I insert the key into the keyswitch and leave it on ignition. I tap into the accessory 1, accessory 2 and starter wires and hook up toggle switches and relays and push button start what nots to it. I'm guessing this way, I'm still having my alarm features activated and the key as an added security of not having someone jack my car and just start it with a push button =)
hmmm i've been doing this research for hours now. I kinda saw something wrong here. if one end of the switch is going to relay...u dint mention where the other end of the switch is going to.
I looked at the circuit and read up on a couple of other different configurations. #85 and #86 are coils, in order for the circuit to run, a current has to flow from #30 and #87, and it will only exist when #85 and #86 is connected to a power source. #85 is grounded but #86 is only connected to a switch.
Hope anyone who's going to work on this take note of this.
Another thing I'm curious about and yet to figure out is whether there would be a cut off to some of the car's electrical circuit when you start the car in this push button setup. On the note that a car would have a temporary disabled function of the radio and some electrical circuits to reduce power load during the process of cranking up the engine.
If anyone has any insights, please fill me in. Thank you.
Telly do you have any pics... Im interested in doing this... i would assume a 10 AMP relay would be fine... Id hate to see 50 Amps of power even make it to the relay with a 10 Guage wire lol.
The button assembly comes with kinda sparse instructions. Essentially you have to just tap one wire into power (when key is in on position) and one into the ignition wire. Nice and simple, just takes balls to cut into those wires. All I did was strip the plastic wire cover, didn't have to actually cut wire. Again didn't use relays.
I just finished doing this and doing the fuel cutoff switch. I changed a few things on this one like using only 3 relays and everything is working fine. I also combined the accessories to all come on with one switch.
Just to let everyone know, this is my DIY..... I spent about 4 hours on this, I am sorry that I did not take any pics!!!! If you like, I could post pics of the finshed product.
Ok, so I was reading about the push button ignition. It said I can put it in my cigarete lguhter place. So.. on my 2002 ex the cig lighter has i little cover over it. Now how sweet would that be if I could put the cover on and off to turn it on. LOL it would be like a rocket. *flip open, push button!*
