2000 civic ex push start inquiry

[darksolderx]

hello everyone, my first thread on this forums i think , anyway ive been contemplating on if i should install the push start button on my civic for a idk i guess newer fresh look, has anyone else done this and had problems with it, or idk lets hear some opinions heres my car.

It has been done. If you know anything about alarms, then it's a piece of cake.

man, let me tell you i hate cats now, they have left so many scratches on my paint, bumpers, HEADLIGHTS now when i catch them i hit my cars panic alarm and they go skidding off the car, only to leave more scratches but im planning on paintmy car white in about a year so its all good

actually now that i think about it if you look closely at the picture with my fog lights the one on the left is broken/ cracked, due to the cat on the back of my car knocking it off a ledge.... i hate that cat.

I recently wired my push start about a month ago. No problems. I use it to start my car every day.

lol well, i mean is there any other way besides that button to start your car -_-, actually where did you get your button installed ive seen write ups where people put it in there 12v outlet, im not sure if thats the "prefered" place, or if thats just the most logical spot.

 

[mymmeryloss]

had one on my old orange hatch, worked fine, no problems..
put mine on the side of my drivers seat...
the car could not be started without it, so it made it harder to steal and also made it a b***h to get my oil changed at shops if i forgot to tell them it was there...

 

[mymmeryloss]

you can see it on the corner by the gas door opener...

 

[darksolderx]

LMAO!! wow that is nice tho, so i guess you can put it virtually anywhere then huh?

[edit] i was thinking about getting one from like an actual car that uses push start such as http://www.kptechnologies.com/products.php#/18

well thats not the EXACT one they had a S2000 one i was thinking about getting but im not sure anyone else have a good site that i can get a push start from <_<.

 

[JohnS.]

I have the S2000 push start button.

The location and the type of button is up to you i did it to my brothers 240sx and placed the button on the floor front left corner so he can step on it with his left foot to start his car but its well hidden and safe enough so he can't accidentally step on it. just be creative and remember that this is not a safety feature it can be a cool thing to turn on your car

I have the S2000 push start button.

man that looks real nice, does it only start if your keys are near the button?

 

[JohnS.]

You still need to put the key into the ignition and turn it to the 2nd position. The button takes over the 3rd position. I can still start the car though without using the button.

Video is in the link in my signature (build thread). Just scroll down a bit to find the push start update.

 

[Evan.]

Wow, I wonder who came up with that location for the push start - that DOES look real nice.

When I first bought my house, we had dozens of feral cats in the neighborhood. They completely ruined my old F-150 and my 99 Civic. I had a Camaro I wanted to paint but before I did, I went on a killing spree. I f**king hate cats.

 

[darksolderx]

lol, you really killed them all?
