ok so about 10 people have asked me how to wire up an engine start push button to the tC well here it is...

oh almost forgot im not responsible if you damage your car so do at own risk
even though is practically inpossible to mess up =)

Thing Needed

ok so first off here is the wiring diagram for the relays


i dont have pics of the wiring process because i didn't feel like doing it all over =] sorry
but just make sure to double check it all before you install it


ok here is the finished product before install



ok so now take apart the centor console and remove the cig. lighter. find a place to hide your relays and wires. run the 3 wires that tap into the starter under your dash up to your steering wheel
looks real messy just make it neater lol



now where it says to tap onto the BLACK, BLUE, and GREEN wires. those wires are located under your steering wheel. you have to remove 2 screws on the sides of the steering wheel to access them.

once you found them unplug your battery before you tap into them

here is a pic of the wires already tapped into


then hide al the wires and put the peices back together with the switch through the cig ligher hole and viola your done

HAVE FUN =)










IF you need any help feel free to ask here or PM me.

 

o yea could a mod please put this in the tech section. i'll feel special

 

Nice.

 

 

Nice how to

 

just to let everyone know im actually going to wire 3 kits for people who asked me to make it for them. if anyone wants to buy a kit ill make you one

 

how about for the xb! haha looks good

 

should be the same thing for the xb. not sure thought. does anyone know if the xb has 2 starter wires like the tC?

 

how much u want for the kit, because id be interested probably, and would you be willing to come down to around my area "brooklyn" lol ill throw in a bit extra, how much would u charge hehe great DIY tho!

 

u should combine this with my diy from almost a year ago then im sure ppl would have way less questions nice job!

 

so how does it work?
you put the key in and push it? or no key?

 

very nice DIY.

 

how much for the kit, i'd think about it

 

nice man thanks

 

The 3rd from last pic shows a bad connection bro.
The butt connector doesn't look pinched - the one with a blue and silver going to the red wire...tighten up the QA before selling kits!
Electrical wiring is serious stuff when it comes to your ignition.

 

lol yea i noticed that after taking the pics but that has nothing to do with the switch i had cut that wire before when i used to have it for keyless operation but yea thanks anyways

 

That is sweet! I am impressed with how you made it look like it coulda came stock that way. Anyone can hack together some wacky button, but you made that such a clean install. Way to go man.

hey i have a question, if i install the button, do i still need the key? or no? or can i just push the button and the car starts?
also, if i have a remote starter, would this interfere with it? and will i be able to use this button even those i have a remote starter?
oh and i have an automatic, would the diagram differ in anyway due to that? and would it still work fine?

 

as is the way i did it yes you need the key but with a few more wiring and a 12V kill switch you can hook it up as keyless which is how i had it for a while. no it would not interfere with the alarm and its the same for an auto

 

is there any diy to make it work without the key? and also...ill try this to be my last question lol sorry for the annoyance....if it would be without the key, wouldnt it be easier for someone to break in and steel the car just by pressing on the button? or is there something that would actually stop them from doing so?
