TBH.... you should do a kit like this. Not this one in specific, but similar technology.

So all you need is the keyfob within a close proximity and just press the button. No putting the key in the column.

You do realize that when you turn your car off and then on again while sitting in traffic you will burn more fuel then you are saving. I do give you props though for attempting this and I can't wait to see how this turns out for you

You know what this means right? HYBRID GRAND PRIXXXXX!!!!!!

Depends how long he's idling.. Ten second worth is generally what is considered enough to restart the car.

the lights here in town take about 5 mins to go from red to green durring "rush hour"

however since my car will start in neutral i can turn my car off at lights to save gas, and pressing a button is easier than turning a key

So how long are you sitting at lights? I don't see the benefit of saving gas? If you are driving 100 miles a day, is this all city driving? I am guessing your starter already hates you.....

Not trying to rain on your parade.... but I just can't grasp this... albeit a cool idea.... but not for gas savings.... carry-on....

^^^ usually 5 mins a light at the most as i work right in the middle of downtown

[Dtrick22]

I think it's pretty neat, whether you save gas or not...Haven't seen it done before

[z3r0]

i know of one other gp and that was back in 04 so it's almost certain that member isn't on clubgp anymore

I like it! I wanna see a write up lol Geter doneeee

[Durk Diggler]

Cool idea but I agree with Negative113, wire in remote start with a fob so you don't need a key at all.
