Default Re: Full OEM style push start ignition and start!

Hi everyone,

I have nearly completed my project, though it is slightly different from OP's. If interested, let me know and I'll make a video / tut and start a thread this weekend when I reassemble my interior and finish making permanent solder connections (wires connected with twist caps during testing).

- Uses factory keyfob for lock/unlock/alarm
- Factory Key still works for doors
- Ignition switch fully removed
- Cost <$50
- Requires RFID keychain fob to be passed within a few inches of the receiver to activate the push-button capability and factory transponder bypass. (I did this intentionally, I don't want a device with significant range). Installed this sensor in center console near cubby/cup holder. Will require passing fob near it to activate car.
- Requires installing a factory transponder from a key in a bypass box. I carry this key with me for backup door locks and keyless lock/unlock.
- You can convert back to factory (with some work and some splicing for ignition switch connections)
- Push-button installs in the factory ignition switch bezel
