Sure, but by the time that's done, what's the point?

In fact, that can be related back to this thread altogether. WTF is the point?

/thread, PLEASE.

 

Remote starts do, turbo timers do not. Again, the immobilizer (at least in Nissans) is only checked when the motor is first started. After it is running if it loses the signal it will not kill the car.

 

there isn't really a point.

just something to waste money on. there are just some things that just shouldn't be added to your car if it didn't come with it in the first place..

 

Such as blue side markers?

 

Good catch. Post edited. It's late and I'm not thinking straight

 

Aftermarket push button start systems can be both "cool" and "functional"

Actually, that's a photoshopped image that I thought looked cool.

 

ZOMG i'll take 10.

 

If your referring to the twin turbo infiniti in that vid, i agree.

 

I wasnt, but I do concur with you.

 

nice car.

 

Thanks guys - it's definately a fun little car!

And the pushbutton start makes it that much more unique!

 

I dont think its worth the time and money. Like everyone has already said just turn the key all the way.. lol

 

that push button start is BAD ***. and i'm usually against such things.

 

sounds difficult man, good luck and let us know how it went. POST PICS!!

 

I was reading an article on vehicle security and it said that column locks are virtually useless on vehicles that have a chipped key. You cannot start one of cars without a chip, it won't allow it. You can get most of it to turn on by turning a key, but the computer will not allow it to start without a signal from the chip.

I'm going to eventually do a start button mod, I have to tare into my column anyway to try and fix it's crookedness. When I do, I'm going to buy two After Market Flip Keys because they come with a RFID chip like what's in my fifth gen. and they are big like the old BMW smart keys.

I plan to build a slot for the keys and inside of it will be three things. One is a trigger that will depress when you first slide it in and will activate the ACC function. The next will be a button in the bottom of the slot that, when you press on the key after sliding it in, will activate the ON state of the ignition and will stay depressed allowing the key to be recessed within the slot (like our hazard flashers when you turn them on) until I turn the car off by pressing on the key again (which will then raise the key to be grabbed.)

I will then move the starter line to a Starter Switch that I will install in my center console but there will a relay on a 30 second timer so that after you bring the car into ON mode you cannot activate the starter it after 30 seconds (it's kid friendly).

And of course out cars will NOT start without the chip, that will be my security. So I will also move the receiver for our transponders to the slot. I'm still not fully sure about whether I want to put the slot in one of my dummy plates near the power mirror button (thus putting the key in a spot like my friends loaner Altima Coupe) or in the center console by the start button. I'll put my rough sketches of my plans in my gallery later, but does anyone know where I can find a wiring diagram for a 2000 GXE ignition system?

It's in the stickies of the audio forum.

 

Interesting project, looking forward to pics.

You can find the info either in the EL section of the FSM (see my sig), or search the forum for remote start install instructions.

 

The "chip" is only as secure as the ECU is - as that is how the security is controlled. On most Nissans the ECU is easily accessible - so bypassing it is possible. The steering wheel lock will definatly slow someone down IF they are trying to drive the car away.

Honestly though, in todays world, the car has a MUCH higher chance of being towed away then driven away.

The range on the OEM trasponder system is extremely limited - placement of all the components will have to be precise, but I would think it would be doable.

 

someone already made a kit for the 6th gen max to do this it works exactly like the 07s do i cant find it but search google it uses the oem button and the r&d is already dine buy it and install it may be diffrent from the yrs but i know they make one for sure

 

i like this idea but i think i would have put the start button in a better place on the car

 

This would be a pretty cool mod. I'm looking forward to pics too. My IROC had a push button start, but I eliminated the use for a start key. I like the idea of having a setup similar to the S2000's though. I always thought that was cool.
