i am thinking about adding a push start to my little cinq, however im not sure on the wiring. Its more about getting at them on the old barrel like how i get the the wires of the barrel, has anyone else done this to there car?? or is it really more of a garage job?? im fairly usefull with a spanner so i can do most stuff just electronics is not my favorut.

I've fitted one to my integrale & to be fair it was easy, but I do have a multimeter and I just followed the instructions. If you can read a diagram and know how to use a multimeter then you should have no problem. Tis only a 2/3 wire job if I remember rightly.

make sure i get the wiring rite tho heard of a couple of cases of them bein wired wrong and then bein able to start the car with no keys

A push button should be ok on its own. Fitting a cut out and ignition switch is a bit more tricky as the ignition will feed from the parking light circuit even when he ignition is switched off.

Being able to start the car with no keys is bad enough, but what happens if the immobiliser kicks in? make sure uve got the red key with you and it works before you do this!

its looking more and more like a garage job to me.

brickfoot had push button start in his cinq

You're all making it sound more complex than it is. I can still start my car with the key & the button only becomes energised once the key has been put in the ignition & turned to the standby position, it is therefore more for cosmetic reasons than anything else, tho I have found that there is an added benefit on my car in that say I unlock the car using alarm remote, get in but do not start within the 30secs limit, car immobilises, normally I have to turn the key to the off position, then back round to the standby position press the remote to disengage the immobiliser, then start, but with the push button start you just press the alarm remote & hey presto the button is ready to start.

I used the Richbrook one which includes all wiring & relays needed & the instructions are very good, follow them to the word & you can't go wrong.
