Start Push button Mod.

[tekhen]

As HATAX stated, this is similar to a remote start with a few tweaks for leaving the key in your pocket.

This should be a simple mod.

So is anyone still working on this? I think it would be a great upgrade, one that our Mercedes cousins already have.

Watch out for those AIRBAG commands!

bump........................anymore progress?

you wont even need to make the extraordinary effort of pushing a button.. you will think "start" and it will start- all done with bluetooth like waves detected from your brain...

come to think of it, we already have such devices - they are called "chauffeurs" heh heh

And come to think of it, technology could be so advanced that you won't even need a car ...

where do we stop?

Case in point - I accidently turned on my lights, wipers, stereo and instrumentation while "playing" on the CAN bus. No key in the ignition - only my laptop plugged into the car.

I'll have to add the keyless mod to my list of CAN enhancements to do.

Bravo! You are the CANbusMAN

Anyone find anything on the Start Button on top of the shifter? I have looked a little bit, but can't find anything.
