Just remember that you've got accessory wires going through your key switch as well. That unit only has one switch, where on most Hondas you'll need 3 (IGN1, ACC1, ACC2).

It may or may not work to start your car, depending on how the fuel pump is wired. Usually, the pump kicks on when you turn the key to the second click, but I'm not sure if the fuel pump is tied to the IGN output or one of the ACC outputs. If it's tied to the IGN, it'll start. If not, you'd still need the key on position 2 for the car to run.

Even if it does start and run without the key, you'd have no other accessories (heat/radio/windows/etc).

Also, unless this is on a full race car, having no key is just plain stupid. By eliminating the key, you're just making it that much easier to steal the car.

no its not that trust me you would have to find all my kill switches. and i do so many on purpose bc it makes it more fun for if someone does try to steal my car they would never find all of them. sorry if you think what i do is retarded. i just like to do things alot of ppl dont. but thanks for the help.

i read somewhere about using 4 toggle switches and a push start ignition.

the toggles have to be turned in the right order for the car to start.
