is there away to get a start button to work like a bmw does? where you push the button to start the engine, and push it the second time to turn off the engine. With the current setups, you will just grind the starter if you push it twice.

With the current setups, you will just grind the starter if you push it twice. With my setup (5 speed) you will only grind the starter if you depress the clutch and press the button while the engine is running. You might be able to set it up that way if you buy the BMW button. The button I have is from a Honda S2000. -------------------- |

yes i was about to say the steering wheel lock would pose a problem. but you can just break it with a little force. that's what theives do. it's just either a thin metal rod or a plastic ron inside the steering column shaft that works with the keylock cylinder. just see if you can take of the key cylinder and you should be able to see it.

ya a firm steady jerk should break the lock but i strongly advise to just take apart the key cylinder. also i just thought of a slicker way of turning on the ignition and accesorry rather than a toggle switch. wire up a relay so that when you turn on your parking lights your ignition turns on and hide the switch somewhere else just in case you waiting for someone and want to listen to the radio. or you can have it kind of a circumstantial type of thing that way the car will shut off as soon as you open the door to leave and headlights/parking lights turn off anyway. if the parking lights are on and the doors are closed your ignition will stay on. let me know if any of these ideas interest you and i'll tell you how to wire it up.
