I couldn't watch the vid because im at work, but a nice clean job, and great placement too. I would only like a push start if I didn't have to use the keys, like on some of the newer cars. Kind of defeats the purpose of a push start if you still have to use the keys.

Nice job overall.

Thanks, it could've been set up like that, but if it ever faults, i can still use the keys. Thanks for your input though.

The start button is super easy to wire up, you just take 12V from the ignition for one side of the switch and tap the other side of the switch into the starter wire. You don't cut any wires, you simply splice into. Both of the wires you need to tap off of are found in a bundle running to the ignition cylinder. The colors are: Blue for the ignition and Black for the starter.

You know, I like these and was gonna do one with the universal kit's. It gives a little bit of a cool factor but the one problem I have getting pass is the fact that it's push button but you still have to use the key. Why not just turn the key one more time if you still have to use it. Either way it's still got a cool factor to it and I gave it a Nice.

Sorry, i don't have a DIY for this. I took it to a place to be installed. The guys who installed it for me said it was pretty easy. So if you're good with wiring and can follow the wiring diagram, it should be no problem for ya.

Correct me if I am wrong, but when I got into an s2000 while my dad was doing paperwork for my brother's Element SC, there was still a keyhole. So I was lead to believe that you still had to use a key anyway for validation purposes.
