Any aftermarket push button starts?

[jmyler]

Are there any cool different ways to crank our trucks? Seems so outdated after i see all these cars with switch blade keys and proximity push button starts. I want one! anyone done anything like that?

Here are a few options you can use for proximity + Push button start and of course you can always replace the ignition key switch with a number of buttons or switches and just use a button for the start.

I don't have an answer, but it can clearly be accomplished. My remote start does the same thing that a push button would do, just with the added benefit of being remote and an alarm.

Edit: sorry, the 2nd post wasn't there when I started typing. Looks very accomplishable.

Thats so sick. I love that it unlocks the doors when you are close and locks them when you walk away.

viper has a module that locks and unlocks doors when you walk within so many feet. Problem is its only available across the pond

question is how do you get around the steering wheel lock and how to you access the accessory option like if you just want to listen to the radio. cool idea indeed though.

If you look at those links there is key that you get cut that stays in the ignition to keep the steering wheel unlocked but the module keeps the car off until you press the button once. Then you are in ACC mode, when you press i again it starts. When you are getting out of the car you press it once and the engine stops and you are in ACC mode again with the radio playing etc. When you open the door it cuts off completely... pretty slick.

Do they make them compatible with a 2000 tahoe limited? I need that for sure
