Hi,
I picked up several of the cheap push button RFID ignition for my 68 Camaro but I'm having a batch of a time installing, which is why I have three of them.
No matter what type I use I have the same problem. I will scan the key and make the chip beep once or twice. I get the button to light up, I press button for acc and lights and gages come on. No engine so haven't tested starting. But no matter what I do after a few hours or over night the button will stop blinking, it's just dead. Nothing happens when pressing. It requires me to resync the RFID chip to the antenna and then I still need to mess with it for 20min just to get back to having the button work and ACC turn of lights, but let it sit and I'm doing this all over again..
I was told that I wouldn't need to use the RFID chip in the antenna every time. But even so, it still doesn't turn on after getting the chip to beep.
It's almost like the kit is resetting itself after a period of time and I have to set it up from scratch. This happens with three different kits of different brands. Two use the blue RFID chips, the other uses regular looking key FOB with locks and trunk pop.
So it has to be something with my wiring. I know the kits are cheap but many use them without issue. Having the same problem with three kits tells me it's my fault.
Has anyone used one of these asuccessfully? I'm about to rip my teeth out.
