push button start (progress thread)

[z3r0]

well i have figured everything out in the theory stage
know where the wires are
solved where i want to mount it

started to make the new mounting plate
just need to figure out how i'm gonna make the plate support the weight of the button

here is a teaser tho

[f3racer]

awesome. ill be watching this one

[joshv]

same here, looks awesome cant wait for finished product

[lambokit]

What, wait?? Teaser? Dammit! More, more, MOAR!!!! LOL WIll be waiting. Where the wires are? Info would be nice.

[redlinepontiac]

nicee

[z3r0]

the hard part is finding the wire color for the starter off the ignition harness
97 - 99 is yellow or purple @ the d1 spot. 00 - 03 looks the same

as is 04+ except they can tap the bcm instead conn. C1, pin 21

to get to the wires you need to remove the snap on dash cover the lower cover then the security shield. and that's where i am at so far today.
it's raining so i'm working on mounting it

[z3r0]

also Pontiac Wiring
click remote starter and you can get the wire colors for teh starter and some pics aswell

[trewyn15]

will be interested to see where this one ends! do a writeup!

[z3r0]

i will def do a write up

also i will be adding a momentary switch so that (how i am wiring mine) can still use the key to start the car

[z3r0]

tested this little guy and it's a momentary. so i will be using this button to make the key work and start the engine if anything happened to the button

so i will wire mine so only the button starts the car, unless you hold down that button while turning the key

[cameron92]

sub'd. cant wait for the write up

[Bob Padilla]

You bypassing the passkey crap? If so......awesome.

[z3r0]

97 and 98 gp's do not have the passkey
it is also being wired so that the key must be in the on position to start the car
some see this as a useless mod, however since my car will start in neutral i can turn my car off at lights to save gas, and pressing a button is easier than turning a key

[Bob Padilla]

Aww damn my car's an 01.

[KeithGTP03]

some see this as a useless mod

Sorry dude, but I agree. You should be looking for a remote start.

[z3r0]

you can still disable it

[z3r0]

Sorry dude, but I agree. You should be looking for a remote start.

so i remote start the car while i'm sitting in the drivers seat w/ the keys in the ignition sitting in dead traffic w/ the car in neutral

but this may be useless to some it is still a badass mod w/ a cool factor to most ppl

[KeithGTP03]

I suppose...I never had the need to shut off my car while sitting in traffic, except for when we evacuated for Hurricane Rita and sat in traffic for 26 hrs.

[z3r0]

well i'm poor and drive 100 miles a day
i also have a zzp catback (which is louder than sin) and i turn it off if i wait too long so i don't get any headaches

but it's just another mod to do, chicks really like it, especially if you let them push the button

Your doing this to get laid, keep your car from driving you nuts with the loud exhaust and save fuel.

I think you could do a couple other things that helped you out more. Meanwhile..have fun.
