      ^I couldn't hear the audio on the rest of the video. Mostly cause I was laughing so hard at how enormous that key fob was.

        Anyone know of some current push-start only kits (no alarm, etc..)??
        Really interested in doing this.

          Hi i was wondering if someone could help me i have everything wired up so when i push the button 12 v comes out of 87. My problem is that i cannot find the black and yellow wire out of my ignition. Out of my ignition are 8 wires 4 are bigger 18? gauge wire and the other 4 are small 20 gauge. the bigger wires are white, black, red, green/blk and green. The smaller wires are brown, brown/blue, brown /green, brown/ red. my problem is i cannot figure out which wire goes to my starter solenoid. i have tried probing with my fluke with bumping the ignition but no luck on finding 12v when bumped. i was wondering if anyone could give me some advice.

          thanks

            My idea would have you pushing a second button to shut the car down.
            I have an idea for that problem, an electro magnet pulling in a pin attacted to the locking tab when you have entered the code a relay activates which sends a signal to the electromagnet to pull the steering lock pin out.

                Awesome. If you loose power while driving, your steering wheel will lock, and you die.



                Reminds me of this guy - getting a rope tow without the key in the ignition. All was fine until he turned the wheel enough too lock the wheel. They were going slow - Imagine if you were doing 60 and this happened.

                  would it be possible to pop off the top of a cig lighter and replace the engine start top button? are they the same size? itd be cool to keep the stock look and scare the crap out of people by starting your car with the cig lighter.

                            Push button is a cool idea but it's pointless if you still have to put key in the ignition and turn it to the 2 position...minus well just continue turning key and start car. Now...if there was a system designed for our E30s like some new cars have where you have some sort of RFID either built into the key flob or in the form of a credit card and you could just push start button as soon as you got in the car then that would be cool.

                                Exactly. I installed one in my e36 and it was cool for like 10 minutes.
