Some people have asked me about it, and I had some trouble finding a good picture of it installed online so I figured I'd post a picture here for future searches.

jdm toyota altezza engine start button

That looks awesome! Can you give us any info on it? Where can you buy it and how much? Ease of Installation?

It was under 200 (I know, ) shipped from Chin Kwan.

The install was relatively easy, just plug and play. Youve just got to be able to flip things around in your head a little. The diagrams are all for the right hand drive altezza. The cable that connects it is _barely_ long enough to make it to the slot I put it in. The middle slot would be really hard without extending the wires.

And for those of you not familiar: the function of the big red button is obvious, but the little silver flip switch below it is basically a button kill switch. With that in the off position, the red button wont start the car. I suppose thats useful... :-?

Looks cheap IMO. but whatever floats your boat.

i guess that means that someone can just break right into your car and drive away.

I believe you still need the key in the ON position inorder for the button to function like it's suppose to... :-?

that's the lazy man's way of turning on an engine. i don't think it's worth $200. pay me $200 and i'll turn the key for you everytime.

its not even worth investing into.

I too have one. For a standard installtion, yes you still need your key and turn it to IGN. But there is a way where you can totally by-pass the key and just press the button to start the engine. With that set-up, you definitely need the kill switch - just in case.

I'd do that, but i'm a paranoid bastard. The security risk is just too great.

you still need to turn the key so why not just turn it another notch and start the car? :-?

i guess it's all about the "wow" factor. :wink:

It is lie the Austin Martin DB7. It too has the same setup. turn ey in on position and push the red button. I thin it is real awesome and not cheap looing.

 

[immanis]

The s2000 has it too.
