there a couple of threads on here about it but wanted to know if it has been done succesfully, would be a really cool / cheap mod if it can be done!

I'll tell you now, it's a complete pain in the arse!

My dad has a push button start in his VR and I get confused every time I drive it.

Immobiliser fob into the socket thing on the dash.. then key in the ignition.. turn key to "on" position.. push button

Hassle!!

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:
