yeah i have to admit, the effort put into this and the time spent to make these kits up, $210 is a fair price.

That and they are plug and play, no soldering wires or cutting wires.

So can you still start the car using the key?

I do like it, it looks cool.

No, you need to push the button to start. i did the push button mod on my old XR8 a few years ago - didn't use a fancy FPV button (there's $200 odd of the asking price right there), but I had it wired through a switch and relay, so I could flick the switch and start with key - good for the missus and when dropping it off to a workshop. Flick the switch the other way, and you had to use the button.

Yeah you have to push the button to start the car.

it is the best fun to jump in insert the keys then push that button, i dont think it will ever get old.

its 100 times better at night when the button lights up and all you can see is "engine Start" glowing in the dark!!!!!!!!!

its cool, if a lil ****y..

If anything I'd do it if i could unlock the car and get it, then start it without keys. But then in the AU I wait for a few seconds for the fuel pump to prime before I start it anyway, so I dont think I'll be buying one, cool all the same
