push button start (progress thread)

[z3r0]

well i have figured everything out in the theory stage
know where the wires are
solved where i want to mount it

started to make the new mounting plate
just need to figure out how i'm gonna make the plate support the weight of the button

here is a teaser tho

[f3racer]

awesome. ill be watching this one

[joshv]

same here, looks awesome cant wait for finished product

[lambokit]

What, wait?? Teaser? Dammit! More, more, MOAR!!!! LOL WIll be waiting. Where the wires are? Info would be nice.

[redlinepontiac]

nicee

[z3r0]

the hard part is finding the wire color for the starter off the ignition harness
97 - 99 is yellow or purple @ the d1 spot. 00 - 03 looks the same

as is 04+ except they can tap the bcm instead conn. C1, pin 21

to get to the wires you need to remove the snap on dash cover the lower cover then the security shield. and that's where i am at so far today.
it's raining so i'm working on mounting it

[z3r0]

also Pontiac Wiring
click remote starter and you can get the wire colors for teh starter and some pics aswell

[trewyn15]

will be interested to see where this one ends! do a writeup!

[z3r0]

i will def do a write up

also i will be adding a momentary switch so that (how i am wiring mine) can still use the key to start the car

[z3r0]

tested this little guy and it's a momentary. so i will be using this button to make the key work and start the engine if anything happened to the button

so i will wire mine so only the button starts the car, unless you hold down that button while turning the key

[cameron92]

sub'd. cant wait for the write up

[Bob Padilla]

You bypassing the passkey crap? If so......awesome.

[z3r0]

97 and 98 gp's do not have the passkey
it is also being wired so that the key must be in the on position to start the car
some see this as a useless mod, however since my car will start in neutral i can turn my car off at lights to save gas, and pressing a button is easier than turning a key

some see this as a useless mod

Sorry dude, but I agree. You should be looking for a remote start.

Sorry dude, but I agree. You should be looking for a remote start.

so i remote start the car while i'm sitting in the drivers seat w/ the keys in the ignition sitting in dead traffic w/ the car in neutral

but this may be useless to some it is still a badass mod w/ a cool factor to most ppl

[Pepino]

however since my car will start in neutral i can turn my car off at lights to save gas, and pressing a button is easier than turning a key

So how long are you sitting at lights? I don't see the benefit of saving gas? If you are driving 100 miles a day, is this all city driving? I am guessing your starter already hates you.....

Not trying to rain on your parade.... but I just can't grasp this... albeit a cool idea.... but not for gas savings.... carry-on....

You do realize that when you turn your car off and then on again while sitting in traffic you will burn more fuel then you are saving. I do give you props though for attempting this and I can't wait to see how this turns out for you

You know what this means right? HYBRID GRAND PRIXXXXX!!!!!!

Depends how long he's idling.. Ten second worth is generally what is considered enough to restart the car.

[Bob Padilla]

Aww damn my car's an 01.

[z3r0]

you can still disable it
