I actually thank you guys for this, I installed one just under the edge of my seat. The day after I come out of Walmart to someone sitting in my car trying to start it, but couldn't find the button. The police showed up shortly and one more dirtbag is in the brig. THANK YOU GUYS <3

"If you wanna go Civic style,  you're already done." That cracked me up..

First off - I love these guys they are hilarious and helpful - 2nd the best way to install these push button ignitions is to wire them slightly differently to bypass the key all together - rip out the original key ignition (you can use a slide hammer if you don't want to take your time with it) install your push button where your key ignition used to be and then no course anyone who gains access to the inside of your car can take off with it....but at least you don't need the key anymore. There are kits for push button ignitions that have a activation dongle that you hang on your key chain - (prevents starting when dongle isn't within 3' of senor in dash)

My friends already make fun of me for it. And if I install this, I wont have any friends.

All I can say is that the cold solder joints you did are amazing.

These guys bash Civic in such a gentle way. Love it! :)

Goodness 😂 as a long time MCM viewer and sub, this is a good throwback video. I recently had to do the same with my 1988 Jeep Cherokee as it has a mechanical rod linkage to the ignition switch and ignition cylinder. The rod was bent so instead of going through the effort of fabricating a new linkage and attempting to properly realign the ignition switch to engage on "crank".. I ordered a SPST 50a switch for $6 shipped to my door. I have enough spare wiring laying around and some inline fuse holders. With all my heat-shrink crimp connectors I should be able to cobble together a solution to the no crank. It starts just fine when you short the starter solenoid so I'm assuming this will do the trick!

I love the sarcastic touch to this how to

Great tutorial guys ! thanks, I now have some ideas to improve my installs ! :) I must confess, I never used solder in a car installation before ! (guess it's never too late to make improvements).

Want to see a drum conversion to disc breaks for a 2012 Toyota corolla LE . Thanks guys and keep up the great videos!! The myth of cold air intakes was great ...

I think what they were really asking for is a start button like many of the higher end cars coming out recently, where it detects the presence of the key in the car and starts without you having to take it out of your pocket.  I assume they failed very hard at describing their desires.

next mod show us how u changed what side the steering wheel is on :)

[therealslimshady]

Who else thinks it would be funny to put a Fake Start button into the Car thats wired to a Camera and a Timer that prevents the Car from being Started for the Next 30 Minutes while taking a Picture of the idiot who tryed to steal your car by pressing the Start Button? :D

Thanks bros, very interesting. Technique is simple and easy. Unscrewing and selecting the right wire is challenging and little bit risky for common people. After all, its very good .
