Push Button Start in 2003 Coupe

first take off lower panels to gain access to the BCM and ignition wires.

i connected the relays together and wired them up out side the car for the most part to make it easier on myself.



i connected the white wire to the red wire so the button would be lit up all the time instead of just when the parking lights were on.


i connected the red wire to the constant 12 volts feed


connect orange wire to the accessory wire


connect the yellow wire and black wire from ignition cut relay to ignition wire (key side)
connect the blue wire from ignition cut relay to ignition wire (car side)



connect the purple wire to the security led wire


connect the green wire from the starter relay to the starter wire


connect the black wire to ground. i recommend using a straight chasis ground instead of using and existing ground wire. (sorry no pic)
connect the blue wire to and rpm signal. i used my existing wire from my KPTechnologies shift light. (sorry no pic)
i then plug the relays into their holders, then connected the control unit, and then plugged in the push button last.

the module is designed to be a universal module, so yes it would work in an 05-07.

thanks

overall the module works great!! which was a first for test units LMAO!!
install took about 1.5 hrs, but i was goin really slow and taking my time. i think i could get it down to an hour or less, now that i have already done one.

the lock light flashes with the security led, which i think is pretty cool.
i also wired the button to be lit all the time instead of just when the lights are on. this i more of a personal preference option, but i like it that way.

i wanted to mount it where the key currently goes, but that would take a lot of time. the key has a mechanical lock on it to prevent the car from being stolen. so inorder to take the curent key out and move it i would have to take that all apart. also the ignition wires would most likely have to be lengthen as well. my ideal setup for this would be to put the button where the key goes now and move the key to the cigarette lighter hole on the driver's side, which i still might do when i have more time.

well all of that would be the same as how you do it now, but instead of turning the key to start it you can push a button. if you follow the Push Button Start in 2004 Coupe, you will see kevin's install on his 2004 6mt coupe. really this module just adds the feature of pushing a button to start the car instead of turning the key the last time.

There are 3, I have one in both of my cars.

Great write up and great pictures. I'm anxious to see how you finally mount it.
