Push button start

[bigtyme1]

What seams to be the best push button set up out there? I have to install a new system in a friends 69 Camaro. I think Stardrive has gone out of business

Oh wow, I thought Stardrive was kinda the front runner on those. Seems like everyone that does wiring (Painless, Autoloc, AAW, Ron FRancis) offers a basic version now. Looks like the Ring Bros version is the most full featured now that there's no Stardrive?

Think they are related to Bowler Trans, I know RadRides has used this system.

I'm using this system in my 69.

Seems pretty decent so far. I don't actually have the car on the road yet so most of my experience with it has been with testing and just starting the car in the garage.

It can tie into the door locks, trunk release, and even act as a remote start.

I just use a push button momentary switch and an arming toggle switch.

It is easily done with simple momentary switches when you have the Isis system.

I have done Phantom and now doing an Advanced Keys setup. I will let you know how the aa kit works in a couple weeks.

What about this setup from I DIDIT? Anybody tried it?

Mike, that looks like a nice setup. Just checked out their web site.

For my 65 Chevelle I used a arming style toggle and a pushbutton start switch with a generic RFID setup from ebay. The RFID was like $25 and you see them on ebay all the time. I just added a latching relay and it works fine.
For my friends custom 55 Nomad I used the Advanced Keys setup and I think it's a good unit for the price. It was easy to install and the instructions were easy to follow. The only thing I didn't like too much was the start button. It's a big sucker but overall it worked fine. $350 for the combo unit and $190 if you just want a start button. HTH.

I have the system from Ididit aka " digital guard dog system". I believe they are kind of separated now. My first box messed up and they replaced it for free and installed it and it was working fine then I took my car to get tuned and they said it messed up again so I need to call the guy from digital guard dawg and see what's up now. He was pretty helpful the first time.

I went with this...

Advanced Keys is awesome. Controls the windows, doors, and has a RFID so you cant start the car without having the key card on you somewhere. Think C6 corvette. Same system basically

[Jim98ta]

Wanted to follow up on this a bit. I finally have the car somewhat on the road and more experience with the Advanced Keys setup.

I really like it. It unlocks the doors for you as you walk up, after you get the car running door closed, etc., it locks the doors for you, unlocks them again so you can get out (I believe after you shut car off, would need to check again). Overall, system is really nice. Only 'issue' I have is when you are near the car and walking around, it locks/unlocks the car as you get in/out of range. But to be honest I only have 1 antenna mounted so far. If I'm gonna be near the car I just put the RF card inside and its fine.

The only thing I would caution anyone who wants push button start to keep in mind is what does it take to kill the engine. I personally will never go push button. I can kill the engine faster turning the key off than holding a button down. Just a thought. Carry on.

I have the ididit push button start and it is great. Reliable and easy to install. That is the answer to the push button. If you want the remote door and security and ..... then that is a different question. I took the question as the best push button start and I am very happy with mine.

Trey's comment is critical... YOU NEED A KILL SWITCH. that is a 50cent add and 2 minutes but the most important.
