I am planning on installing a push start button from an S2 to my EVO. Has anyone done this yet? Is it too ricey?

why?

 

got the button mounted but not wired yet

 

The only way I'd have one would be to disable the key so that the key would only turn on the accessories and not crank the starter, and the button starts the car. That way you could hide the button somewhere and use it as an added security feature. However, I think the poster here just wants a cool looking gadget in his car.

 

Where did you get the CF filler for the ashtrey?

 

this would be a cool option like the option on the m-benz with the key card, both to start and unlock doors.

anyone know about something like this?

 

I put an S2k start button in my Corrado cos the ignition tumbler was crapping out (well known problem in VWs of that era). Make sure you use a relay (if the Evo ignition switch doesn't already) to operate the starter - the S2k button probably won't hold up otherwise. It's a pretty lightweight item.

To do it properly, you need some way of locking out the button when the engine is running, and also when the key is not in accessories position. Assuming, of course, that the Evo's ignition isn't controlled by some kind of computer that deals with all that. I dunno. I need a shop manual.

I will say, though, that it's really cool to see the button light up at night, and even cooler to start the engine by pushing a little red button. I doubt I'll do it in the Evo though.
