Thanks Viper - that looks good. It would seem that the RFID portion of the project is not too hard to make happen and that it could be updated fairly easily in the future. I have considered, for instance, it may be cool to have the RFID on a card in my wallet. You're not supposed to drive without a license (kept in most of our wallets), right? I've already ordered the S2000 button and 30A relay.

On a side note, how are you guys dealing with the steering wheel lock?

Update - ordered the RF unit viper suggested and the rest of the relays. I still hoping to have the full schematic confirmed. I think the one I referenced a few posts up did not deal with the illuminated start button issue. Jlm mentioned a different trigger scheme but I don't think I saw it listed. If nothing else, I'll have a small 12v battery on the kitchen table with two meters and a few jumpers and see if I can make some sparks fly!

I can't believe this thread is still active. It wasn't my post originally, but since I was working on the same thing at the time, my intent was to give some encouragement to folks that it can be done. I will start a new thread, rather than make folks wander through page after page of stuff that has nothing to do with how to make it work. I hope that the new thread will not become a rehash of the problems of people's business transactions. I totally underestimated the interest in this type of device. I will say this - I will not accept any orders for a solution on a prepaid basis.

A question for the moderator of this forum. Is this the proper forum to open discussion to determine the volume of interest in a secure push to start product?

I will tell all members here that the Flaming River system does work well. We have installed it in two cars at the shop getting ready for SEMA. It takes a bit to install and is wiring intensive. You have top have the remote in the right area but all in all it seems to work quite well.....

I'd say yes - but in it's own thread, please.

Absolutely! I am still very interested. I tried to contact you several times without success. So let's get it done. I was kinda waiting to see if a product would show up at SEMA.

I would appreciate if someone could tell me what I'm not understanding here.

Doesn't Flaming River offer this product as already stated?

Is there a reason you guys are not acknowledging it or happy with it? Is there something you guys don't like about it?

You input is important to me because I'm going to put a push-button start in my project (Flaming River or somebodies...)

Thanks

Jlm,
It is great to see you back! I have put my project on the back burner but I have everything I need in a box waiting for more time. The diagram you originally posted did not indicate exactly where the timer relay comes in. I have tried some things on the bench but was having problems with the latching nature of things. I was thinking about 'wimping out' and putting in a toggle switch for the ignition circuit but that would take all the fun out of things!

It would be great to see a fresh discussion on this without all of the other nonsense. I think many would be interested in a setup where a cheap RFID alarm and a single button could be used to securely start and stop their engine. We anxiously await an update ;)
