Finally, the push to start button felt cheap and plastic-y, which was very disappointing because the entire point of the project was to make it look OEM! After deciding I did not trust the $50 kit to start my Crossfire, I found Advanced Keys kit and installed it. Although their kit is more expensive, you get what you pay for. The instructions are easy to follow (and written in English), all the components are high quality and feel high end, their support team is great, and arguably most important, the push to start button looks, performs, and feels OEM! For anyone that is going to attempt this, DO NOT buy some cheap kit like I did from ebay or Amazon. We like to take care of our cars the best we can so why cheap out on an ignition system like I did originally, when you can buy a high quality, reliable kit?
I am not knowledgable in this system, if the chip is permanently in the ignition does that mean that you can jump in the car and drive it away?
What keeps the car safe from this, some other security feature?
I saw something about a card, is this the security?
