Well since I don't think many have been following the 11 page thread on the push start button, since I completed it today I figured I'd make a new thread with pics and video.

Took about 3 hours. Given I soldered everything, which took much longer.
Disconnected battery.
First took off the lower dash, two screws. Then took off the metal housing under that, 6 screws.
Then I investigated the HUD switches, since I was going to use this spot. The wires are extremely short, 7 of them. So I had to add 18" or so to each. That took 45 minutes. And it worked after moving it to the left side!!
Then I began to run wiring for the relay.
Would have been much quicker and easier to have connectors for the relay tabs, but I soldered.
The button started up right away, but I couldn't get the bulb to illuminate.
I tested it, and it lite. I also tested volts to it and got 12+. I looked at the switch again and the diagram, and the diagram had it labeled wrong. So I had to swap + and - leads, and bam it lite up.
The car will still start via key, or key to accessory and push the button.
If you hit the button while it is running, it will squeel the starter just as if you turned the key while the car is running.

Very nice.

Very cool :p

sweet mod! i think this needs to be placed in the how to section. good job everyone in the other thread for making this a reasonable and easy mod to do.

that is so sweet!!

dude that is sooo sweet! So when you turn your key to the "on" position and press the start button, do you leave it in the "on" or do you turn it further?

Cool glad to see it worked out for ya!

now you can tackle the burned out bulb in the DIC..... to the right you can see it is dimmer , 1 of 3 bulbs is burned out.

Nice create idea. I rather have key than start button. I can't imagine if theif will have easy way to steal car for click start button.

Or you can buy a remote start alarm and skip all the hassle

good mod though

holy crap steve, thats amazing!!!! this DEF needs to be part of the HOW to section, its sweet, you are all about these custom toutches, thus the rear bumper also lol

Nice idea on moving the HUD... oh wait... lol. I'm glad you are able to do that with the HUD stuff, now I can be sure it will work with mine.

Palsut, the thief still needs to turn the key to 1.) unlock the steering wheel

and

2.) turn on the accessories (which includes the fuel pump)

so how this is set up is not going to make it any easier to steal

And I would recommend using the heat shrink connectors over soldering and taping ANY day.

sometimes you have to solder, like on circuit boards. but it is just a better longer lasting connection using the connectors.

Nice bro! Clean setup.

Time to put the ignition in the dash!

Looks good! Not my kind of thing but thats what sets us all apart.
