DIY - Start/Stop Button

[drey]

Do you think it's possible to do it on all cars?

Is there someone who can install? or is there a kit?

Thanks!

The page shows a mod for Start-only button. That is indeed easy.

A Start/Stop button is rather more difficult but probably easiest to implement with a tiny microcontroller.

yes its possible, actually diy lang ng father in law ko sa daihatsu pick up niya. nasira kasi ang ignition key then at that time wala siyang nakita replacement part then he bought push button switch na lang, everytime he turn on the key tsaka niya ipress ang switch.

Will it start even without the key? If so, that's bad. If not, care to show us more?

make sure na i tap before the neutral safety switch para safe .

hindi iistart when on gears or without pressing the clutch pedal even when the ignition is ON

need pa din ng key to turn it on, for security purpose din. the only thing na naka switch button is the starting of engine.

hmmm start/stop button like motorcycles? cool. but i read in topgear, calling the start/stop button of the BMW 320D, "a dash of german sillyness" and that it's useless pampagulo :rofl:

Hmmm... Now where can I buy a Start Button here?

The start button described here is more like a one-time-shot switch (that is permanently open), similar to doorbell switches. It is on the low current side of the circuit, as it activates a relay, so there should be no real issue on the spec, I think. I am sure that a lot of electronic stores has something similar or equivalent. It is now just up to you which one is aesthetically acceptable.
