De-Keying?

[cally228]

I have just fitted an engine start button to my car, and was wondering if I could go one step further and remove the need for a key entirely?
I know DC has done this and was just wondering what is involved, is it just a case of removing the wire from the barrel and connecting it to a switch? Or is it a bit more complicated than that?
Cheers

well,, you would hav to dissable your steering lock for starters possibly remove the barrel all together then cover the barrel with a plate if you want rid of the hole?

were did u possition your button for starters as i hav a button to fit and want it below the fag lighter behind the fag tray cover,,,, #

you would also need to fit a ignition on/kill switch too,, just one position sould do,, i dont see the need for a two possition switch,,

also i think you would need a imobiliser which has a smart fob,, you know the ones which only start the car when it senses your near it,, or i think the imobiliser i have in my cally (toad Ai606) would also work i guess

My start button replaces the lighter.

1 I dont use it anyway and 2 you wouldnt think of lookin there.

well i was thinking about replacing the cig lighter as my start button is the same size as it but im sure i may need it at some point,, like if i need to use my tyre inflater in an emergency

Could do what I've done - fit a panel of 'Aux. power' connectors (ok, they're really cig lighters [img]/smile.gif[/img] ) in the glove box [img]/wink.gif[/img] problem solved.
