Retro-fitting red start button?
I am scheduled to take delivery the first week of December. The two items on the concept car that did not make it into production that I liked were the side-mirror turn-indicators and the red start button on the dash. I see that Japanparts.com has a start button kit for $190. Does anyone have any experience or info on installing it? Or even any experience with ordering from Japanparts?

The start button is not for you - it's only designed for right hand drive cars. You may find a way to adapt it, but it won't be the quick install it is for the "righties"!
|
Thanks. Is that because the dashboards are different (other than a mirror-image swap of left to right)? Are there other dashboard layout or electronic differences between US and Nippon models?
|
who cares about the righties. I would still like the start button. Do you still have to have a key to start it? or what
|
You still need a key, it still needs to be in, and turned to 'on' or whatever. all the start button does is replace the need to turn the key 1 past 'on' to start the engine.
The Start button replaces the coin tray between the steering wheel and the door. I've no idea if it'll fit LHD cars as I havnt seen it or a LHD car. You'd get into the car as normal, put key in , turn to 'on', press button untill engine starts , instead of turn key 1 more until engine starts. Purely non functional. (sports)Cars HAD start buttons way back when there was no key start, key start was easier. |
I could be very wrong, but I believe the RHD cars are pre wired and the LHD cars are not. Can anyone confirm?
|
Sure its "non-functonal". Just like fender strakes and lights under the dash and seats. But it's very cool...very retro...like the Italian style of the car itself.
|
We should ask canzoomer about this.....he does have the wiring specs for the LHD version of the car.......
