Start button

Hi guys,

I just installed the rotary start button on my car, was wondering if my setup was correct since the installation manual is in Japanese.

Once the button is press and the engine is started, is it suppose to be disable or it will still allow the engine to crank when the button is press again. Please kindly advice. Many thanks.

Hi! U right - once button is pressed, engine starts. Light on button goes off & button goes 'dead' (i.e. nothing happens if u press it).

And whatever u do... enjoy the button!!! Cheers!

Start button cost around $300plus, got thru PI plus installation. Or you can try the vendors section and purchase over the net.

Hummm...
that's weird???
I did post after your last 2nd post. Don't know why it jump the queue and went a head??
By the way plus installation was because I got the car from the PI, if one goes in just to purchase the button or anything for matter, chances are they will charge a fee.

Actually, i've not heard anything about them making the button for LHD yet. If remembered correctly, for RHD it's quite a easy plug and play thing, whereas for LHD the wires ain't long enough, thus more works are needed inorder to install the button.

FYI. I doubt it will work, as indicate in Japanparts site.

START BUTTON KIT
**RHD Unit only**Exchanging the coin case beside(RHS in Japan) the streeing wheel.
1st, you turn the ignition key on and the trim of that kit lights up. 2nd, putting the clutch plate and brake plate on. 3rd, pushing the button and engine starts working.
