GB- Push to Start , With SMART ENTRY - Toyota Yaris Forums

Well, I got the Push-To-Start module installed, and tied into my aftermarket alarm/remote start. I purchased the RFID module, but won't install it due to the remote start. Installation wasn't bad, but had some big road bumps. The installation says to use the brake switch for when you start the car. But since I have a manual, I didn't want to have to push the clutch AND brake in order to start the car. And the clutch switches don't have a ground or power when triggered, so I had to get tricky. I also had to use my aftermarket alarm to turn the push-to-start on and off. The circuit I built for it prevents someone from cutting the alarm power and trying to start the car. If the alarm doesn't trigger the circuit, the Push-to-Start won't get a signal.

I also ran into a problem during engine crank. The module has two (2) ignition outputs (ON1 and ON2). When the button is pushed to be in the ON position, both outputs have 12V. However, during crank, ON2 lost 12V. I don't know if my module is faulty or not, but it was easily bypassed. I might keep digging to see why that is. I also installed the back-up ignition relays just in case.

But all in all, not bad. Much easier when you pull the top of the dash out. The RFID module would also be easy to install, much easier than a remote start.
