Aftermarket Push to Start Buttons

[invisiblefrisbe]

I have a problem with my key system (forgive my ignorance with the proper technical terms) where it basically thinks the key is still in it. Car does not start, but I can turn it on to accessory mode without the key in it and checking the amp usage with a meter hours after the car has been touched show that the ECU never goes into lower power mode...and my car battery drains if I let the car sit for over a week.

So anyway, to fix this I've been thinking about trying one of the aftermarket RFID based keyless entry/push to start systems.

There are a few systems out there on the market that do this, I'm curious if anyone on here has tried one of them and what their experience has been.

This will be installed on the car in my signature BTW.

Why not just get a new ignition?

+1 Theyre very cheap.

I gotta imagine its cheaper to go to a dealer to get a new ignition installed rather than forking over $600 and trying to install a rfid yourself.

I don't know...why do guys change wheels every 6 months on their cars? Because some things are about how they look or "cool" factor...or in this case convenience and quirky preference. In my case, it always annoys me a little when the keychain hangs down and rubs my leg (don't ask my why...I'm just weird I guess). A push to start would eliminate this problem and be cool at the same time.

Toyota Prius's have push start are they cool?

Someone on here posted a nice thread on their install with a key less system. It was really nice, search for it in the pictures and videos.

I installed a push start and purchased an RFID system seperately. I never finished the project unfortunately. It was my only car and didn't want to **** up the lock on the steering column.

Seriously?!? I was honestly looking for some information from people who have constructive input an can tell me their experience with these systems. By the way, a Prius has a windshield and brakes too, if I wanted to do everything the opposite of a Prius just because "if a Prius has it, it isn't cool", I doubt I'd have much of a car left.

But really, I'm looking for responses from people who have experience with a push to start RFID system, preferably one that also includes proximity based door locking like the digital guard dawg system previously mentioned. There are other systems out there that run a little cheaper, but I don't know if they are any good.

if i had the cash i would do this to my Roush. i like them. it was a nice feature in my old vette, but its not worth the cash required.

If you want to spend $600 to stop a key from rubbing your leg then you should probably do it, seems like a legit reason.

Ford had them first.
