I got a simple questions I was interested in doing a push start "BUTTON" on my xb. Has anyone been able to do this with the 2gen xb?

Is there a after market system similar to what Nissan and Lexus have were you don't need to insert your key? just keeping your key fob it senses your your presence which allows you to push start the vehicle?

 

There is no chip in the key fob like the Infinitys... But i think someone on here has done some sort of push start... Seems like a lot of work and worry for little if any gain... Plus using a key adds a little security to your car...

Here is the link to the person that already did it in a second gen...

 

I havent seen anyone do a push start yet, but you can go to an audio shop and they can do a keyless remote start which might be easier and cheaper

 

I was sooo confused. I thought the OP was taking about pushing the car!!!!!

 

LOL don't feel bad...that is what I thought at first too LOL

 

Thanks for the info, I thought i heard a company doing an after market system that replicated the same technology as the Big dealerships. Granted that most of this Dealer Technology is already coming from some type of after market source.

 

I did look into this also, I was thinking of the Zenesis System, but im waiting to see what else comes up.

 

WOW TIIIII TIIII RIIIII I added the word "Button" hope it helps LOL

 

What do I get if I tell you who makes the kit?

IIRC, it works exactly like the Lexus system. Just have the key fob in your pocket and it'll unlock your doors and push button start.

:D

 

So i search on line for IIRC and was not able to find a specific site, can you please point me to one?

 

IIRC = an abreviation for "if I recall correctly." Lol!

Flaming River makes the kit.

Also, Some Supra guys are doing a kit.

 

LMAO, TIIII TIII RIII on me! its been a long day at the office. Thanks Man!

 

Not a problem! This is something that I would absolutely LOVE TO DO!!! SRSLY!!!

But $600 is a little much to stomach.

 

keyless remote starts you STILL have to have your key to drive the vehicle.. otherwise people would just sit in parking lots waiting for people to remote start the cars.. you have to get it.. turn ignition to the on position.. then you can put your foot on the brake to shift gears

 

*sigh* NOT the ones I posted above. True, that the Lexus' do still have a key (as I recall...), but it's un needed. You put the key/radio transmitter in your pocket, it unlocks the doors and you don't have to insert anything. It's a rad system.
Doors won't unlock unless you have the key/transmitter nor will the car start.
I suggest going to your local Lexus dealer and checking one out. I wouldn't believe it if I haven't played with one before.

 

*sigh* that's not "Remote Start"

a "Remote Start" is when you use a "remote" to "start" the car.. i know how the new lexus' work.. that's the push button start system where you don't need an actual cut key in an ignition switch to turn and start it.. i was replying to the post that said

you both sound tired... maybe you two should take a nap...

 

Where did anyone say anything about "remote start"?

Keyless/remote start would be a LOT cheaper, but it's not what the OP is requesting... :D

 

Yeah I was not asking about remote start, I under stand the function and use of that technology. I was more interested in the smart Key /pushbutton method.

Although I did look into to Zenisis alarm system that includes tap entry and remote start.
