Has anyone installed a push button start on a 96-up civic?? If so where did you mount it?? Post pics if you gotem. Thanx

 

I have a better plan than that Cheesie "ENGINE START" Button. Can't say what it is though and only one other soul knows my idea. And none that I know of, sorwe.

 

Well thanx for nuthin

 

a unique place would be the center console by your shifter....kind of old school Saab'ish

 

i have one on my EG and it works fine and wasnt that hard to install, it just sucked taking the dash apart.

what about you hide it and have a kill switch so they can't steal ur car

 

i to would like to know some mounting points for this in an ek

Wherever the frog blows the whistle.

You'll have to decide where you want it. Probably by convenience.

 

the ek dash seems hard to mount the button since its a bit curvy. The only spot That looks remotely decent to me is where the hazard button is....

 

Or drill out the appropriate sized hole anywhere you like.

It's probably 3/4"-1" sized hole.

 

Anyone have Wiring pictures to wire it up in a ek civic?

 

I am going to mount mine in the hole for the cig lighter.

 

So, how do you plan to turn the key and push the button at the same time?

 

id do it the really hard way and put it in the shifter ****, and then a cap over it to hide it

you don't, pushing the button is the same as turning your ignition.

He wil have to turn his key to ACC II though to use the button, that's how the s2000's do it, and any retro'd civic I've seen do it.

that would sorta defeat the whole purpose of push button start

 

I got one and its nothing but a fun factor thing as well as looks good. But as far as my install.... I mounted a metal plate covered in real carbon fiber and installed the plate under the climate control in that little storage place. Anyways the install is easy but make sure you have the right guage wires or your **** will not start. Sorry I have no pics at the moment!

Pics or BAN

 

I had some plans to do this in the near future and did a bit of photoshoping to figure out where id like it... The first pic is where id put it if i wanted it visable but i decited the hide it under the dash below the ac controls!

Also from time to time there is a guy on ebay selling cool shift ***** w/ a button hidden under a flap on them that could be used for a push start.

PICS!!!

 

anyone know where to get one for cheap?

you tried ebay?

 

I'd keep it on the driver's side just so expletive-sticks in the passenger seat wouldn't touch it.

 

yea they all look crappy. the true honda ones are still kinda pricey on ebay.

 

I've seen them placed where the hazard swich is....looks pretty trick except you lose your Hazard swich

here's the one i installed in my buddies 39' Chevy...

 

hahaha funny. i just installed one today. i put my button on the left side right above the coin holder. where it has the 3 rectangle things. i used the middle one. i also put one in my friends car..and we put the switch in the coin holder. it was kinda hard since the slot is small, but its kinda cool

i was bored so i also bypassed the clutch (you know how you have to push the clutch in to start the car) so that i can stand outside and start the car (stupid thing). but i guess its nice if you wanna warm up your car and dont wanna get all the way in to start it.

if you need help with anything, PM me and and ill be glad to help you out.
