I wouldn't chop my ignition wires :shocked:

The correct kit on ebay shows a relay and a fuse so I'd be using those if I were you

Spot on, still seems a pointless mod to me.

it is a pointless mod, but i still think it would be cool to have one, plus makes your car harder to steal if they dont know which button to press!  :grin:

Not like they will mess around is it, they will get it started somehow.

Those who steal cars don't need to know, which button to press...If they really want to steal it, they will find a way around it anyway.

The Ignition will still work of the key so having a push button start will be irrelevant for a thieve

Yeah i have got one installed on my car.  Got it done as the parts behind the stearing wheel wouldn't budge (when removing them to sort out an ignition problem)

Was suposedly an easy job (done by a mate) and is kind of cool lol.

I will say the big issue with this idea is the coded key....you may need to tape the transponder near the ignition switch receiver thing as the range isn't always good! and doing that means you loose the factory immobiliser and can void your insurance!
