I seem to remember someone did a conversion to the S2000 start button a while back. I just read up on it on the FD site.
The writer indicated when all was said and done you turn the KEY to the "On" position and then press the button.
Now, security concerns aside, does the button replace the key or is it in addition to the key? Seems an additional step to have to turn the key and then push the button. Is that how the S2000 works? I don't know what Honda's security procedures are to prevent someone only pressing a button and starting the car...

 

well i have the same sytem on my probe,,and i have to turn on the key or the button does nothing,

you can buy these buttons from many places,,i think the name of the company that makes them is called Ignited

 

its the same if you turned on your starter w/o turning your car to on.

 

So you turn the KEY on and then hit the START button? The same amount of work is required to start up the car. The only thing is it just looks COOLER that's all.

 

Always keeping in mind the security problems, its not really a pure start button operation. I understand why its not. Therefore, its actually more work to key the switch and then press the button.
I guess I understand that. Doesn't sound like an attractive option to me personally, considering all the work involved. I will admit that they do look really cool though!

 

Augmenting the key switch with a start button, the starter won't kick over without the key being on. If you really want to be **** about it you could even wire it so that the start button wouldn't work unless the key was also in the starter position.

Where were you thinking of putting the starter button on a FC?

 

i wired one up b/c my ignition switch failed on me. i hid it under the dash for security reasons. it works very well! and i dunno about the security though but i think it would improve it. even if youve got my keys, hey, ya gotta find the button!

 

You want good security? Install a master battery disconnect switch At that point, they will just tow it to steal it LOL

 

yah.... have a key for the master connect battery disconect. Then another key to enable the electrics teh car? (imean the stock "ON" position) then have the starter button using the fingerprint ID system.

 

Don't forget the retina scan integrated into the rearview mirror LOL

Here ya go

 

Yeah, lucky *** 3rd gens have their cigarette lighter in the perfect place.
Oh well.

 

Is there any way you could run a switch to put the car in the on position, and then use the button to start it?? Thus making the key not needed

 

Yep, you could do it. The key switch is just a multifunction switch.

 

Where do you live?

 

Yeah that is what I am doing on the Project 86. I am going to install one off those switch panels and one of the items on it will be a start button, and there will also be an IGN (ignition) toggle to power up that system. I kind of have to though since I have no dash or locking assembly anymore

 

i was thinking about having a switch to the fuel pump, after its rewired, and a button to start the car but i think im too lazy
