Yes, you could use any button. But, the engine start buttons are made for larger loads and the smaller buttons can burn up very fast unless you have a relay, and possibly a resistor depending on the size of the button. Just make sure its not a toggle button.

Yes thats true, and if you wanted to use small button, just use the relay, like Cleanshots stated.

Heres my video.

In that video, he try to start the engine with the key and nothin happen. Does that mean he cut his ignition wire and rewired to cig lighter? I just wanna tap into the ignition so i can use either the button or turn the key to start the engine?

I would really like to know this as well!

Dustin2JZ

Yes if the key no longer works then the ignition wire was cut. you can tap into it if you want to be able to use the key and button to start

^^^ what he said. You cut it if you want to start only with the switch, but tap into it if you want to use both.

i also thought i would clear up something else. I ran a wire directly to my starter and by passed the switch completely. The only reason i did that is because i had a problem with my clutch sensor and the key would not start the car before. So thats why i just decided to install the push button starter i had

And here is the video of mine, its in the DIY thread i posted but i figured i would put it here too

Hmmmm....this video i came across is pretty interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsiplaBRD00&NR=1

it may just be me, but i don't like how thats set up. he would still have to use the key to unlock the steering wheel, and i would be afraid of bumping it while going down the road.

I did this about four years ago, before some $&%* broke into my car. I enjoyed the look, because it seemed more racy (not to be confused with ricey)....
