Push Button Start (merged 11.07)

[4Lurker4]

Someone help him with link in exchange for a nice write-up? I'd do it but I have ecuflash.

Post up logs on here and people will gladly help you. Start with watching these videos and after you've done so, post up what you have in a new thread.

Soooooo sick.

where did you get the fender flares?

 

[Carlz0r]

Props for designing it all yourself. There's actually a full kit for around $200 (IIRC) for RFID door unlock and push button start, but it's just proximity based. I like how yours requires you to know where to swipe the cards.

Did you interface the rfid readers with an Arduino board or anything? Or was it just the readers and relays?

 

[jeff24680]

Not gonna lie. Super impressed! Great work.

 

[spyderdrifter]

Very nice for the dimming then

 

[shay4g63]

rfid kits are really cheap.. like 30$.. you have to get relays in them to keep them consistant. I had one in my stunt motorcycle.. so if i ever bailed the minute it got further then 30ft it would shut down.. and i could just hop on it and hit the start button.

One more question, did you leave your door tumber/key locking apparatus in place?
If not, what will you do if your battery dies?

If the battery dies, he'll need a boost and then the push-button start will work anyway, unless you need to re-program it again - that would suck.

Thats way cool, but i'll stick with the key.

 

[shay4g63]

rfid shut down after you get a certain distance away.

If the battery dies, he'll need a boost and then the push-button start will work anyway, unless you need to re-program it again - that would suck.

Haha! I don't need a boost I have 2 Optima batteries. One is a yellow top deep cycle battery. This is my main battery so I can listen to my stereo until my battery is almost dead. When I turn the key to the ignition position a GIANT relay links the yellow top to a red top. Once the car is started it recharges both batteries. If the yellow top dies completely I have a switch that will manually activate the giant relay.

the only programing if for the rfid this is saved in an eprom. it will not lose codes when powered down

the controls for the button colors are done with transistors and resistors so there is no code to be lost for them

ok ok ok i will do a write up for you guys on the basics of push button start.
it may take a month or two but i promise i will squeeze it in between work college tuning my car and doing my buddies h22 swap (bad mistake I hate hondas) it will be in four write ups
#1 how to disable your steering wheel lock
#2 how to build a relay and fuse box and connect it to ignition harness
#3 basic push button start
#4 how to make things work on rfid (simple rfid unit pre programed)
and possibly if i get enough time
#5 how to build a smart switch controller

in the mean time i will post some logs and get some help

That is truly badass!!!!

 

[Pauly D]

sweet thats amazing man.

 

[jimbob_843]

Dude that is awsome.

 

[dsmrebel084]

Awsome

 

[19BLACKGST98]

Very Awesome, fun, looks great and was pretty cheap....now if I could only get you to make me a women then I would be set.

 

[1990talonmatt]

That is bad ass show me your ways good job

 

[Trav83]

That's pretty cool, any plans for a custom instrument panel?

 

[AlphaVision]

Admirations for this project! Reeeally cool, man! You did it great!

 

[mattasi]

I am an electronic tech, good job man. I like it when people have the guts to try this kind of thing. Awesome thread.

 

[andrewrnava]

thats so sweet

 

[99eclipse420]

most definitely one of the coolest mods I have ever seen done to a dsm, well a car in general. An in-dept wright up for this would be amazing.

 

[norcal_drifter]

lets do this you help us well help you!!! dsm family! post some logs

 

[Kingcof22]

honestly, this is pretty inspiring. I totally want to do this to my gsx now
