Exactly! I have been reading those threads think "Whats the point?" There is no point in doing it if it doesnt operate correctly. I had the conversation the other day with a friend and told him exactly this. A push button with a key is actually worse than the key only, it adds another step to starting the car, Why?

Thanks for sharing.

^ if its setup to just start without the key in place doesnt that mean someone can just break your window and push a button and take off with your car? i know you said "whats the point" if you need to still use the key.. but the point i see is for theft prevention. This is just another cool mod to add to your car and a great way to get rid of the now useless vol ****

Key fobbing would be alot more expensive and time consuming.

I remember the TRD Widebody Toyota Mr2 being stolen in the same way it was full push button start and someguy just drove off with it.

Did you read the thread? Maybe exspensive but if you cant do it right then why do it?
From the thread for those that don't want to read it all.

"What: Auto push button start with auto-detect keyfob. Key the fob in your pocket. Get close to your car, open your doors w/o a key. Get into your car, push the button, car starts. Key only needed for opening the door manually.

Included:

RFID fob - 128bit encryption, new code generated each time you walk away from the car. I haven't yet decided how to incorporate the Supra key inside (like most do). I may request you ship me a copy of your key so that I can create the key-in-fob desgn or supply a kit that allows you to cut your key and slip it in.. or send me a remote that you use (alarm remote) where I can insert the frequency detection guts inside for a clean design.

Smart Push button - You push once, turns on accessories. Push again, turns them off. Anytime you put your foot on the brake and push the button, it cranks. Stops cranking after the tach signal reaches idle. Push again, turns off. The button will only function if the fob is in your car. I have yet to develop a column-lock solenoid if it can even be made. I may have to look at late-model toyotas to see if there is anything already available. If not, I can still offer this unit with the intention that the user resolves column-lock themselves.

Theft concern: It will be component based. If your a thief and you know the supra wiring, a few cuts and twists you can start the car. I plan to include a seperate connection for the fuel pump. You can always use this system with your current alarm, so there is that option."

i wanted this project done about 8 yrs ago when the first pruis came out with this start button feature...but the cost to use the parts from the prius($$$) put that project in the trash, maybe this will change that?

Wow...that's pretty cool to engineer that. IMO, works better than the smart key system in my 3GS. I wish mine locked and unlocked as I walked away/towards the car. Other than that, it works just like my factory system.
