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!

Will not matter as the key needs to be in the ign. and turned before it will start any way.

Can I ask what the point is?

The new Civics have them and they are just annoying. Turn the key anyway, then push the button, not being funny but what is the point? Plus if you don't relay it and just join ignition wires, surely that is just hot wiring the car with the steering lock on?

this is driving me nuts.....

1. The point is i want one because I think in MY opinion it will be cool (and im like i little kid who likes pressing buttons that do stuff)
2. the point has been made if a thief wants to steal my car they are able to do so, so lets change the record for that one
3. i will buy the kit of ebay

okay? i want one for my car cos i think its cool, end of.

I could understand it on a £250k supercar but I certainly wouldn't be fitting one to my 1.6 Golf. I'd find something better to spend the tenner on. For example 80 miles worth of petrol :laugh:

At least fitting a Vento front has some point to it.

does it? does the normal golf front end not work or something, seems to work on mine!?  :huh:

On every forum iv seen trying to find some info on this subject, all this question does is make people mad!!! i just want some advice on how to do it like what wires i need to wire to a relay and which wires to wire to a switch from people that either know or have done it before!

Any help would be appreciated cheers!

Unfortunately I don't have any fitting advice as mine was already on my golf when I bought it.

But I will say I love this mod, when people jump in my golf and I say press that button there for me (all casual), then they do and they're all like "woooow".

Mine's a crome button with a crome surround, and whoever fitted it must've done it properly because the button won't work whilst the engine is running, and you can't start the engine via the ignition.

I love it.... Thumbs up for me  :grin: :cool:
