Oh!.. I mean how to stop engine lar.. :wink:

That one say "Push Start" only, never say "Push Start/Stop" like BMW one. :listen:

Or does it mean you have push the car to start the engine.

Yeah, my thoughts of a push start always involve four men and a bobsled. :top:

Ian daddy ,

Do u hv any idea where or any shop they are pro with installing this push start button ? i saw alot of shop they are selling but is not include installation ...

 

[kgb]

does it not come with wiring diagram? How hard can it be, its just a start button, i've done one DIY push start button on my car in the past, worked well too. i think the hardest thing is to drill a hole in a dash. The rest is easy.

Guys, what is the advantage in installing the PB other than it look nice.

The PB is installed in a place where you cannot see it cos it is hide behind the steering wheel. Just sit in front front and try to imagine the location of the PB.

Pertaining to the function, you will need to use your left hand to start the car. Normally, you would insert the key into the key slot and turn the key to ON and crank the engine with your right hand.
If you install the "Start" PB, you would now need to insert the key into the key slot and turn the key to ON with your right hand, then push the PB to crank the engine with your left hand.

 

[mizhan]

yeah unker.. now both hands needed to start car. i say no need lah.

 

[yumie]

yes.. agree.. no need..:wink:

reading this makes me dizzy LOL

true..instead of one step to start the car, now we got additional step. unless, the key is not needed to be pushed in, (like swift, juz carry in pocket is enuf) it juz troublesome

anyway, some ppl might like it! for exercise maybe

Something like they add the shark fin antenna on e36/e39/e46, make me laugh every time i see that.
