Start button kit

Would anyone be intrested in a complete kit which would install a start button in your RX-7 in about 20 minutes??

The button would replace your cig lighter...and be a matter of you removing the cig lighter...placing the button and its mounting plate in its place...running the wires to the ignition...and connect the wires as per the instructions (maybe on DVD)

Man, button starts are awesome. I think. My bro has one on his escort. I like it.

How much is that US money?

This is really only for 84/85 cars I guess, it would kinda gay with a start button all the way over where it is for the earlier cars. Would look awesome on a Series 3 though.

k this might just be a stupid question, but what would stop someone from just breaking the window (cause none i know of came with security systems and just pressing the button and driving away with the car? or is it hooked up so the key has to be inserted?

its hooked up so the key has to be inserted...like on the merc, aston S2000 etc. some think its silly, but its more for the cool factor than practicality...if we all wanterd practicality we would not drive 2 seat 20 year old cars which can only be fixed by gods

It'd work with any car... all you would be doing is taking the switch from the 'key turning action' and putting it into a button. looks pretty good, nice job.

Its a bit more complicated than that i have found...you need to make a relay system for the entire ignition...not hard to do, but more complicated than i originaly thought.
