This is a re-post since the link to the original died for some reason.
<< Here goes. The setup I use is like this.... I have toggle switches for my igntion wires and a push button for the starter....
Here is the DIY for it...
You have 4 wires that you are going to deal with....
This is what you will need....
(4) Toggle Switches SPST (Single Pole Single Throw)
(1) Push Button --- this will be used to roll over the starter.
(4) 50 Amp Bosh Relay's ---- these are so that you do not burn up your switches...
(1) DEI Part Number 555u ---- this is to bypass the RS4 immoblizer system.
--==DIY Push Button Ignition==--
First, you need to remove the shroud around the steering wheel.. This is done by removing the (3) screws on the bottom side of the shroud. Then it will pull apart into (2) pieces.
Next you have 2 options...
1. Run a 4-8 gauge wire from the (+) side of you batter into the car. . I did this one since I did not want to cut any wires.
2. Cut the white wire (this is about a 10-12 gage wire)
Take one of the 2 options and run it to where everyou you are gonna put your switches.
***Note*** ***1***
You do not need to bypass if you are not planning on remote start or if you do not plan on removing the steering wheel lock, because if you do not remove the steering wheel lock then you will have to leave you key in the ignition, and disconnect the ignition harness from the ignition switch.
DEI Immoblizer bypass wiring ---- Connect the antenna ring around the ignition switch cylinder
Connect the red wire to the constant 12v.
Connect the blue wire to a switch and the other end of the switch should goto the ground.
Now you need to connect all of the (#87 on the relays) to your constant 12 volts.
Next you need to connect all of the (#85 on the relays) to a good ground.
Now #86 (on the relays) needs to goto a seperate switch including the push button switch.
#30 (on the relays) needs to goto the following wires.
****NOTE ALL OF THE IGNITION WIRES are BIGGER than the rest of the wires on the Steering Colum. You can identify them by this-- they are right under the igntion switch....
Use Scotch Connectors to tap into these wires. Do not cut them, this way you can use your key too...
Relay (1) (Ignition 1) This will be the black with a yellow stripe wire.
Relay (2) (Accessory 1) This will be the black with red stripe wire.
Relay (3) (Accessory 2) This will be the white with red stripe wire.
Relay (4) (Starter) This will be the black with a white stripe wire.
Connect the oppisite ends of the switches to your constant 12 volts.
These need to be turned on in this order for you car to run correctly
Toggle Switch (1) ---------->DEI Immoblizer Bypass ***1*** (you may or may not use this depending on your situation)
Toggle Switch (2) ---------->Relay (1)
Toggle Switch (3) ----------->Relay (2)
Toggle Switch (4) ----------->Relay (3)
Push Button Switch (1) ----> Relay (4) (you can use this by itself if you only want to push a button to start the car but do not want the switches) >>

I'll mention again that this is not my DIY. This is a re-post because the link to the original thread died for some reason? I would have liked pics as well. Oh well. Maybe I should DIY this in the future and post some pics?
I have 1 relay with an 85, 86, 30, 87, and an 87a connector(s);
it also came with thick wires (red, yellow, white, black) and 2 thinner black wires (one to the switch, one to the relay);
i got a basic of where everything goes, but some colors u have are different to what i have. It wouldn't be a prob if the instructions weren't in JAPANESE! So once again, i ask the wiring gurus for assistance.
u have the "euro type-r" S2000 Button Switch right? ya i got it too and since i dont read Japanese ill just pay someone to do the installation for me. i think the 60 or $70 is well worth it rather than me f*cking up my car. hehehe. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]
well you still need the key.. depends how u wire it up, you can bypass it so you do the following (with what i have):
1. put the key in and turn it to the first position (on), and you can ONLY start the engine by pressing in the start button
OR
2. put the key in and put it on ON position, and either press the start button or turn the key all the way (crank it) like normal to start
im sure there are various different methods you can do with it, but im not an expert on it hehe. hope this helped
but is there a way not to use key? im going to mold but colum completly shut. i have already ditched the steering wheel lock . but is there a way to have button instead of key. or will the stock alarm work? im guessing not becasue no key right. well let me know
you know where our trunk release is where that little keyhole is for the valet thing, well is there a way to put the ignition there so that the key has to be in then push button where the emergency light switch is. i really want this to be done to my car but i dont want to spend thousand of dollars to do it.

huh? >>
He's referring to the spot on the floor to the left of the driver's seat where the trunk and gas-cap release are. There is a key-hole there that disables the trunk release (that way, if you give someone the valet key, they can't get into your trunk). He said there is a way to have the ignition lock from the steering column relocated there so that you can put the key in, push the start button and be on your way. Sounds like a good idea, actually.

I know its been a while since this post originated, but I have a question. Do you need a relay for the starter button itself? I know that many of the DIY that I have seen use it, but I ran across one that was done in a civic and they didn't use it. Will the current burn out the starter button if I splice into the power outlet for a power source?
