Default wiring a completely keyless ignition....

If this is in the wrong section move it, wasn't sure where to put it. Don't give me some stupid lecture about getting my car stolen, because i don't ------- care what you think about it, wether you think I'm stupid or not, I'm going to do this.

I was planning on putting a hidden kill switch in my car, but I figure if i feel I can hide a kill switch, why not just hide the ignition all together so I figured what the hell, lets get rid of keys all together. I want to run one switch to replace my IGN switch all together and a button to start (cause I'm a ------- ricer!). Anyone have any tips on how this can be PROPERLY done?

well the wires under the dash are power, starter, ig1 and ig1 i believe. Now i think one is acc and one is on. So it all depends on how you want to wire ----. I'm assuming you don't care if you lose your accessory mode so in that case i believe you'd put the battery wire on one end of the switch (i think it's the white wire) and then put all the other wires except the black/wht on the other side of the switch. The blk/wht wire is the starter wire, and should obviously go to the push button, and the other pole of the push button should have a jumper wire that connects to the main kill switch for power. Just make sure to use the same gauge wire cause all of those wires are pretty beefy and i doubt speaker wire would suffice.

Can't you get an alarm with an automatic start function?

Remember to fit a battery charge point in a wheel arch so if the battery does go flat, you can charge it without trying to release the bonnet catch.

That way is just begging for a terrible vehicle fire. I'm talking about doing it properly w/ relays and such.

Why would a relay be needed? Its not like there is a relay in the ignition itself. Get a good quality switch that can handle a decent amount of amps.

you need a relay, 40A +. Put a relay on the wires and connect it to a switch. Use the switch as the ground side to prevent burning it out in any form otherwise the ****** could get really hot and burn you. But just do a relay for the ACC, IGN, and STRT. hook up the switches to the according relay. Just a tip though, make sure you get a new ignition harness to wire it to and leave the stock one in the trunk in case a relay fries. we did that on a friends car, as well as my own. It sucks ***** and confuses everybody. It is kinda funny watching the emissions ******* try to turn it on since I had other switches near those. They almost made me re-wire my ign to get tested. just a forewarning, it can be a bitch, so keep the stock switch untouched in the trunk.
