Engine Start Button
 
Anyone thinking of fitting the start button? Looks damn chick.. :D

Naughty Boy, I remember U fixed that right.. any problems?

i've had it installed for more than 1.5 years already and love it because it takes the 'guesswork' out of cranking during cold starts.. these days alot of new cars come with start buttons as standard.
Don't get the illum shift knob though- bulb fuses easily and can't be replaced.

i ordered teh pivot illumi start button a few days ago..thinking of putting it in place of the cigarett lighter (i don't smoke)...or ut a hoel bellow the radio on button/volume controll...will probable go wiht the cig lighter first and maybe move it later.

errant....how did ou wire it to start i know thee are 3 ways....did you set it up so that is the only way to start the car...or can you still turn the key?

errant 05-14-2005 10:37 AM

army rx8- for mine you can still turn the key to start, just in case the button short circuits or something !

the good thing about the mazda start button is that location-wise, its made for where that useless coin compartment sits (in singapore you hardly use coins for carparks anymore). its an intuitive place to reach fior when starting the car- if you place it where the ciggy lighter is, you will need to flip up the lid each time you wanna start- if it were me, i wouldn't bother doing that after awhile..

hmm good point.....i think i shall keep the key start and the button just in case :D

but i don't mind keeping it hidden:D

i do liek where someone put it right below the radio on button...that looked pretty dool...almost liek it belonged there...haha but i forgot the members name.:(

errant 05-14-2005 10:47 AM

army- you mean he cut a hole just for the start button? that's gonna hurt resale for sure, unless he finds someone who likes it just as much.. hmm, maybe you can buy his car off him =P j/k

army_rx8 05-14-2005 10:54 AM

well teh part he cut the whole in is just a piece of plastic (removable)...that you can get at the dealerships (Parts)..for liek 20 bucks or something like that...so it isnt' a huge deal.

haha naw i liek my car...has a good amount of stuff in it;)

Nice to be remembered :D

No problems for me. It's a cool toy to have - just wish me could use it without the key! Maybe me can re-wire it... Anyone knows? :confused:
