I am thinking about converting over to a push start for my 06 roadster. Any thoughts? I value the "experts" on xfire's because I have not had mine that long. Thanks.

 

Have pushers get running and dump the clutch in 3rd.

 

Push start. First thing that came to mind was back in the fifties when we had big chrome bumpers.

 

Is this the Cheech & Chong thing:
Get your mother to push the car !! LOL

 

I believe he means a push button starter instead of using a key. I don't recommend it. I have 2 new Jeeps and they both have the push button. You still have to have the key in the car for the button to work. Might as well just put it in the ignition and take it out when you park.

 

My Jeep has also. No problem starting as long as the fobic battery is good. Problem is I have had it fail to stop a few times when button is pushed and idle is near silent. Will also let you lock the car with engine still running.

At least with the XF, if the key is in my pocket I know it is off.

 

It's been done before, try a SEARCH.

 

Just something else to cause problems in a car. With the XF's weird security system, your in for quite the hatchet job in your wiring and car innards (from what I remember). Good luck!

 

See post 8 and 13 of this thread:

I am going to do the same in my srt6

The start button kit is from China. This mod could prove to be a sticky key anxiety reliever!

 

Better think about this.

You own a car known for electrical issues that dealers don't have a CLUE about. We drive an orphan of a car that Mercedes won't admit is theirs', and that Chrysler knows little about. And you are about to add another layer of difficulty in getting the car running should ANYTHING go wrong with either the car OR that modification you are doing to do.

Tell me, if the car won't crank or start - who are you going to take it to?

It is YOUR car and YOUR money and YOUR time, do what you wish to. But do NOT do this without really considering the implications.
With the car set up as from the factory, we here can give you a lot of help, but if you mod it like that, you are somewhat on your own.

REALLY think this thru - if you are good with electronics and are going to do this yourself, then I'm all for it. But if you are depending on others, then I'd really think this thru.
Have you not already read the threads where people have had electrical issues and been without the car for as long as three months?

Awwww PG, are you 'grooming' me to be your patawan? LMAO

Actually, had I seen your post first, I'd not have written mine. I'd have just posted "read,post 8".

 

Cannot tell you how many times that's happened to me...
