Push Button Install Help
bhf150 did an amazing install of one. His e-fan indicator lights are right next to it, the pushbutton replaced the cig lighter. I'm sure he'll chime in after the beating you guys gave him for blowing his engine

Typically you need to have a transmitter within a certain range in order to be able to turn a car on and off with a push start system, like on a BMW or newer cadillac or corvette..

I did this in my '00 Focus. I used a series of hidden switches and pushbuttons to trick the system.
I had one switch to emulate the "on" position and a pushbutton to emulate the "start" position. Both were hidden under the dash, but within reach.
I also had to bypass the Securilock system.

The only way to bypass the PATs system is to use one of the many bypass modules. Like used on remote start systems. Commonly when doing push start systems you'll have to put the key in and turn it to the run POS. then push the button. This way your still using the PATs system and joe cant just jump in press the button and go. You'll need a relay, push button, and wiring.
I bypassed the PATS/Securilock system using a jumper wire in the wiring harness. Wasn't that complicated. No module required.
The initial reason i installed a PB start was that my key was stuck in the ignition. It took 2 weeks to get a new ignition assembly in, so in the meantime I used the PB start.

I am still going to have to turn the key but I push the button and it says engine start.
