Push to Start for Tacoma

Can you put a push to start in a tacoma??? if yes where can i find some cause they are really dope

 

WTF do u want that for? and Welcome

 

Cuz itz dope yo!

 

If you gotta push it to start, I'd consider a new battery.

 

Bwahahahaha!!!

 

I had one in my bronco because the ignition was messed up. Super easy to wire up a switch from autozone.

It wasn't really "dope" though since it looked like this:

 

Idk man, when it's not a stock push to start it's just a little ricey imo. I know a kid that put a crappy remote start in his teal blue 97 f150 and it doesn't work half the time, so he just looks stupid, but I did google push to start for you and this pic came up, it's in a Toyota Vitz? So the hardware may be close to the same.

 

You could get a button out of a honda S2000. On 8thcivic.com a forum I used to go to they did it to civics all the time. You might be able to find some schematics that might help on our trucks. Heres what the button looks like.

 

It may look "dope" yo but seems kinda "lazy" IMO

 

I say to much hassle but go for it ...

 

I wish I could get the same system in the Tacoma that I have in my X5: Comfort Access.

With Comfort Access, the key fob stays in your pocket, always. The doors unlock when you grab the handle, and you can relock them by touching the handle in the right spot. The sensors are in all doors, including the lift gate.

Also, you don't need to have a "key" in the ignition, it just detects when the key is inside the car, and then press the "Start/Stop" button. It is really handy and convenient, but was a $1,000 option on the BMW. I'm sure it could as much, or more, to retrofit a similar system to the Tacoma. I'll just keep reaching for the keys....

 

they will probably make it an option in the next year or so ill jus wait then buy it then that stuff is way shady

 

i love all the comments about how stupid it is and pointless.. the question was, can it be done? and if so, how? i know this is a public forum but come on people, he's just looking for help with something

 

You'd probably be able to use the 5th gen 4Runner Limited button. Check it out at your dealership.

 

The Toyota Smart Key system is HIGHLY integrated into the vehicle (my Prius has this, and it IS nice!). But to incorporate the full functionality of Smart Key without actually having that system would be a collosal and costly undertaking.

I'm sure it's possible to hook up a simple "Start" button, but you'd still have to put the key in and turn it to the "run" position, then hit the start button (thereby making starting the truck more or less a PITA). You'd have to splice into the ignition wiring to find the START position wires. Any place that sells remote starters should be able to provide you with the harness color code.

 

Anything is possible if you throw enough money at it.

 

we did the Tactical Battle switch mod on our hilux's over in the sandbox, I actually kind of liked that. But not on my tacoma. No sir, I do not like it.

 

It can be done. I would go about looking for a detailed wiring diagram for the Tacoma ignition system first. Then, you intersect the ignition wire so the key turn becomes a relay and the push button is the switch. The only thing I'd watch out for is not to disrupt the key chip recognition system. I'm not sure where that is in the wiring. Good luck, take pictures and make a DIY if you go through with it! Although I don't see the point, it is a neat idea and would be different.

 

Truer words were never spoken!

 

you got the wrong dopin' car yo..
should've gotten a Prius.. they haz the button!
