Push button engine start

[Trev]

Hi, has anybody fitted (or can they be fitted) one of them push button engine starts, to a Bravo. I have been on fastfiat.com and in the Bravo section they are selling one for £39, i thought that with Bravos the ECU needs to detect a key in the ignition to start the car, so what is the point of one of these!!!!!!!! I like the idea but not much point if you still need the key in ignition. My car is a Bravo 1.4SX 1997 (P reg)anybody got any suggestions?????????????

big red button

Hi

In our country (Slovenia) the "Big Red Button" from the Honda S2000:

On the picture is a Honda Civic, but it was done in many other cars. And as far as i know, it can't work without the contact, so you need to turn your key till contact, the ECU reads it and than you start it.

That's how people did it here...

i hope i helped...

Re: big red button

Riclemus did this in his last Bravo. He'll be at the crimbo meet so you could ask him there or e-mail him.

I have one!

I have a push button start, but yes i do still have to put the key in and turn it on, and most of the time i use the key anyway, it was a bit of a waste of money really, but is quite cool for a bit of a pose! hehe

you have to have the key in ignition to do it. i rescued it from the last bravo so might find time this week to put it in the new car. was easy to fit.

Button

You can get a S2000 button starter from mx5parts.co.uk - I got one for the mx5 - time consuming to fit but pretty easy.
