Has anyone tried to install an S2000 push start button in their TL? I'd like to put one in, and I can't see why it wouldn't work as long as the key is in the ignition for the transponder to work. I saw this on the RSX forum and was curious.

 

Hm that would be interesting to see. Would it be you put the key in the igintion and then a seperate button to start it but you dont have to turn the key?

 

In my opinion - kind of pointless, but what a heck - another mod!

 

someone mod a bluetooth key unit so i dont have to even put the key in before i use the push button start.

now that would be a mod!

 

that would sick......if you could do it like how Malayalee King said it.....and it might be easier than you think if you use one off of a RL.....or lexus or something that already has one......

 

whoa i didnt know RL had wireless keys. bad ass.

 

Yeah, the Bluetooth option would be tight. A little more than just the $30 for the S2000 push button and a $3 relay, but much more practical than putting the key in and then pushing a button. I wonder what something like that would run.

Hooking it to the starter is pretty simple, it just involves a relay and tapping the pos and neg. I'm going to look for a Bluetooth module to check the price, the only problem I see is whether the keys are compatible. Are you talking about the new RL or pre 2005? I suppose I could hack up a key...

 

sounds like we need a locksmith

 

With the push button installed, the car wouldn't start unless the key was in...almost a security feature...

 

yea the new audi a8 has it, just as long as you have the key fob in your pocket, all you gotta do is press the button. The Bluetoooth thing isnt a bad idea. it smells like someone might try and do this soon.

 

As soon as I get around to ordering the Start button. I'll probably put it in first so that the key is needed in the ignition and research the Bluetooth method a little further. I think I'll mount it in the cigarette lighter/power outlet.

 

the one i got in i believe was an 06....but i'm not sure....i know it was the new body....the 4wheel drive one.....


and the system will only start the car if you have your foot on the brake when you press the start button......

 

I wonder if this could be combined with a remote start system to eliminate the need for the key to be in the ignition.

 

thats a good question i'll call the shop i use to see if it can be done.....i think it can but the cost should be throgh the roof......to install remote start on my 03 tl it was 450....and i got quoted at 600 to install it on a friends 06 bmw 5 series....

 

I would probably do the work myself, the kits are pretty cheap. Remote start usually still requires the key, I wonder if any just need the remote or can be rigged to woek in some way.

 

Diggin up an old thread but whatever became of you 02TLSfan and this push button start? If your still on here.

 

the problem with this is that your still going to need your key on the ignition, your car would not see your chipped key and it would start

now i have seen a guy take his ing cylinder and run it down to his cup holders, and when you looked in the cup holder you seen the ign ring that lights up


soooo he would just in his car, throw his keys in the cup hold and push the start button.

seems like too much of a pain to me, but to each his own.

just thought id throw that out there

 

how about a "push button stop" button...then i could just stop the car whenever I want

 

In my moms car all you need is to have the keys near the car and it starts. Is there no way to do this with ours too.

 

you might be able to but it would leave your vehicle in danger of some idiot coming along and starting your car with anything... i could be wrong there might be something out there i don't know about.

off the top of my head i don't know what you could use, other than another factory part and key pad to get the car to recognize you and enable the car to start.

you could use a button to stop the car, but with the effort of that, you might as well just turn the key

throw a r/s unit in there and call it a day..... and if you want to use your factory key pad, its actually allot easier than people think..... we just did it to one of the other installers i work with

 

the 05 RL with SH-AWD in my garage has wireless keys, and for all practicle purposes has 'push start' like feel with it's starter. Just flick and the car starts up, no holding.

You can start the car and leave with your keys though. Not sure if it's as good as it sounds.

 

I would defintely get this done if possible. Just like my parents vette!

 

we put the s2000 push button start in my cuzns 7th gen accord and all he has to do is turn the key to acc and push the button and it starts. Its more of a useless bragging rights mod but still cool as hell

 

a mod is a mod is a mod guys. especially with the oh so overwhelming after market support for our car

 

Got pictures?

 

 

Clean, where's the associated write up? Not sure if you can link... but I would be curious to see how they tapped into the wiring harness.

 

I was thinking more along the line of the Infiniti Ms. I believe it is bluetooth also, but not 100% sure. Doing that kind of mod would be more than just tapping into the wiring of the car because it's all computerized. I was just talking to my boss about this mod the other day. It would be one hell of a project. I'll do my research since I have about 3 friends who own Ms then get back to you Acuraziners.

 

looks good! I would have placed it elsewhere

 

A perfect push button start would be, all you need is to have the keys in your pocket and you just get in and push the button with foot on brake and it starts. I don't know what that involves needing, but thats what I want.

 

heres the wiring diagram...

 

sounds like u want a new car then LOL...cause the only way that will work is if we have keys that give all some type of radio signal like a "smart card" and something to pick up the radio signal in the car. Im not really a fan of the push button start myself but to each his own

 

is this the wiring diagram for the 7th gen accord or the tl? . i bought a push starter and tested out wiring up my stuff too (but my car is a manual, things might have to be done differently). I ended up sayin screw it, and i gave the start button to my best friend and used the relay i bought to wire up HIDs to my foglights . you you can convince me that i can do this to a 3rd gen CL 6 speed ECU, id start the project over again in a heartbeat

 

did he still have to put his key in the ignition?

 

yea the key has to be in the ignition with it turned to ACC but thats the only way it will work on any car unless u have the key that gives off a signal to the car's ecu and even still the ECU would have to have some sort of reciever to pick up the signal

 

that was just a general wiring diagram...PM and i can explain better

 

i think ill just get remote start lol....

 

Anything new out since 2008?
Remote starter doesnt need key inserted right? Why we cant set up start engine button using remote starter set up?

 

remote starter doesnt need the key to start.....but once u hit the brakes...thats when it need the key ...if it doesnt have the key in two then itll shut off

 

ok its an old tread but you can use rfid to be used as the smart key just place it some spot so you can put you key over it and the key has to have a rfid tag & the rfid detects the key it would activate the 1 and 2 stage ( your goanna have to wire up a sircuit so when it hits a signal it activates 1 and 2 ) and wile it hits the 2 stage it sends a signal to the remote start by pass module ( that has one of your key in their) and all you are left over is just pushing the start button.
i will be doing this to my car in the next month or two But i wanna get a hold of the push start like the new tl's have installed.

I know its a little confusing but its just brain storming> but that bluetooth thing would not work.

another addition to this is figuring out a way to unlock your stirring wheel when the rfid reader detects your tag, it hard but ill see if i can get this done
