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 meĀ  :grin: :cool:

It should not anyway as that will burn the starter out, also what happens if the button fails.

Fair point.

They irritate the sh!te out of me personally, but fair play.

Fit an OEMish looking one, the big red button ones only just about work in Civics.
Golf MK3 1.8 auto and I didn't pay a grand for the "priveledge" :grin:, auto windows all round and a AC. Oh and I've got a luggage net you pricks!

Does that make my willy look bigger?

Oh yeah it's called Helda or something....

I do believe i will be screwed........... And not in the good way hahaha..!!

I would hope that, with the key in the ignition, and the ignition still on, i would be able to pull the button back out of the dash and cross the wires to power the starter motor.

Or the car will blow up and the problem will be irrelivant  :undecided:

Then when you wire it up make sure you do so so that you can still turn the car on via the key.

i used the button off ebay  :smiley:
just hooks up to the two thick wires (red/black & red) coming from the ignition and it gets power from (red/white & green/blue) from the cigarette lighter.

works fine and i like it  :wink:
