I'm working on incorporating a push button start system in to the car. We talked briefly about this in the VATS thread. While I've just started, I figured why not post about it along the way for others.
It seemed, at first, to be quite simple, however, there had to be something to stop it from being easy. First of all, I'm fortunate enough to have my VATS (see the VATS thread for more info by clicking here) disabled already. If you don't, you may be able to by sending it off to ZZP or having someone local with HP Tuners disable it. The expensive route is to purchase HP Tuners and do it yourself, the pro here is that you can use it to tune your car also if you are so inclined.
This is the unit I purchased online for $70:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FSTFDY2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I chose this unit because it's a stripped down version of some of the others. There are many features included in the others that we simply don't need. This one still has door lock, etc. but you just aren't going to find one that basic. The price was at a good point for attempting. If I feel that it's inferior, I will probably upgrade. After receiving the unit, I cannot complain about it at all. Well, actually the only complaint is the poor directions derived from the language translation. The instructions are barely enough to get started, hence why I'm doing this write up. I really like the button itself, it has a really cool blue halo glow to it that changes with the mode that it's in.
Hopefully I can muddle my way through it and get it to work and make it a lot easier on anyone else wanting to tackle the project.
