I've been thinking lately about getting a push button start for my truck, but have mainly one question.
On my truck I have remote start, and will this push button start work with it? I did a search on this, and didn't find a thread that answered this question. I'd hate to not be able to start my truck in the winter, mainly since I have a remote start. I'd think it would, since I mainly only change it so that it require pressing the button such as I had to turn the key to enable my truck.
But anyone who has any insight on this, I'd really appreciate it.

 

I have been interested in this To, The pushbutton part is real easy and shouldn't interfere with the remote start. Where you get complicated is security. Although It may be possible to implement the chipkey system into some kind of rig to work out something if you have the security. Something like moving the RF reader to a little tray area so you have to set your keys in a little tray before it starts, or something along the lines.

Whatever you end up doing, I would be really interested in hearing on how it turns out.

 

you can't subsitute pushing a button for turning a key with remote start if thats what your asking....

ok well i shouldnt say you cant, but it'd take more then you think to get it done....puttin in a push button start is easy, i just did a DIY for it and lance should have it up soon if it's not already

 

I know that I still have to put the key in the ignition, that's not what I'm worried about. But when I have my truck remote started, and then go into it, here's what I'm really asking... Will they work still remote started as just putting the key in, turning it to run, then hitting the button? I've been thinking about this, and just don't want to lose remote start. It would be nice to get it so that it was like the new vehicles and with the key within a certain proximity would start the vehicle.

 

I personally wouldn't mess with it unless you are willing to change back when you sell it. Many people don't like vehicels that have been all "hacked" up like that. Not to mention all the people that will have a hard time figuring the damn thing out, like when you go to valet parking or back to the dealership for work and they have to call you at work to figure out how to start the thing.

You would need the key regardless. The key unlocks the steering column and triggers the acc power once the key is turned. Adding a push button is an extra step of starting the vehicle and to me, it seems like a lot of work and hassle for a glorious "button".

 

Even so, I'd still like to have the button. Keeps it from being stolen or someone in it that shouldn't be. I also don't plan on selling the truck, I'll more than likely keep it until it dies. I will also keep all stock pieces so I can return it stock

 

that would be redundant....you already have to turn the key to run now for it stay running so you can drive it....so adding a button would do nothing in this case.....like with the SRT10 button, you have to turn the key to run then push the button to start the truck....only way for the SRT10's to start.......but having a button in wont do what your asking of

 

this thread is too confusing, too much 'this then that then will this..."

here's what you want to know:
I have a push button start. I have a remote start. They do not interfere with each other at all. Both are fully functional.

 

well i have always wanted to do this to my truck if you get more info or find a place where you can buy a kit that would work please post it up thx in advance

 

a kit for what?
