so i want to add a start button, i figured im going to just drill a hole in the radio bezel and run the wires from there. that way i still have my 12v outlet. anyway does anyone have any pics of what wires i wire it into for the igition?

I've done it... its a simple two wire install... Its the Grey /Black and Red wire in the steering column that you attach your push button to.. I got mine off of Ebay... i paid 25 - 30 bucks for it something like that. i think i have the same one as ZX3_2NV..
Yeah no relay needed.. really simple install i highly recommend you solder the joints though.. well you should solder ALL wires but especially these ones.. Its a cool mod i dont use mine on a day to day basis mainly when a freinds in my car or i'm showing off some were...

Shouldn't matter if it's a 2 wire switch. It's simply making a connection, and you release it when the engine starts, same as you would when using the key.

I suspect that he was either being sarcastic about where to put the 2 wires on a 2 wire switch.....or.......the mention of using keys to start it :lol:

Well, you'll only need one 'pole' of it to start the car. Use a multimeter to tell you which poles make the circuit when the button is pushed in.

The switch i have is only two pole.. all it does is it simply bridges the connection between the two wires... But then again it does depend on the switch you get so its best to consult with the instructions included to be 100% sure...
It is an easy hook up.. it took me 15 minutes to do mine and i soldered everything..
