convert 05 pathfinder to push to start

install a remote start system, use the activation input at one pulse, and wallah. have fun removing the steering wheel lock though. An alternative to using an RFID link, I saw someone once relocate their ignition cylinder antenna ring to the cup holder where they made a slit for their key head. Just got in the car, put the key in the cup holder, push the button, and wallah, automated ignition, then start. If you really want to get fancy you can use aux linking and wait to start along with a relay to your brake pedal so it will only start by push button when you press the brake pedal after unlocking. Just a thought. Maybe look into how much trouble it would be to change out the ignition cylinder with a knob style one like those in the newer Sentras with the intellikey. That would solve your steering column lock problem.MECP Master Certified Technician

ok, good point. How about this then, you can use 4 relays to create a latching 12v output to your ignition circuit https://www.the12volt.com/relays/page5.asp#lsp. One press applies 12v to your ignition circuit, another press takes it away again. The feed from the button to the relays would be normally open, you can then use a RFID to close the feed so that when you have the RFID with you, you can turn ignition on, and off from that switch no problem. If the RFID is not present, the button will do nothing. Tap off of the 12v output to use another relay to "pulse" the activation input. Then you wont have the ability to turn on your accessories separately though.. MECP Master Certified Technician
