You can buy a trigger system that connects to battery and starter motor iirc, just press the button, and it starts, somewhere like Demon Tweeks will probably do them, Snap On definitely used to...

Jesus thats pricy. Would just buy a sh!tty jump start set and splice that. Ignition has to be on at all times thought doesnt it? And iirc that f**ks up some little buzzy thing in the bay if left on for too long.

In the past I have just touched a length of wire from the battery+ to the solenoid on the starter an voila!  You will need the ignition on though.

Tie a piece of string to the top of the key. Loop the string over the top of the key behind the back of the key then underneath the steering wheel, through the sunroof and into the engine bay.  Give it a tug and vroom vroom.
