iv still got to order mine. being lazy. where abouts are you mounting it? you just replacing the fag lighter socket?

yeah im putting it there but the hole there needs some widening. will get to work tomorrow. i checked with the meter about the pins. 1 and 6 make the LED light up. and there is connection between 3 and 4 when the button is pressed. but what's confusing me is that there is also connection between 1 and 4, 1 and 3 ...

i think i will go as follows :

From ignition to 1 and 3, stater goes to 4 and ground goes to 6. this should have the LED lit up as soon as the car is put on ignition and would stay on until i switch off =)

cool. let us know how it goes and if you do manage to get it to stay lit up aswell

Final result is here. Apparently the ignition wire loses power after the car is switched on(avoids cranking the engine if the key is turned again) so if you use that as power to your LED,then it will switch off after the car is rollin, however if you take the time to find a wire which is live on ignition, you can easily branch that to pin 1, earth pin 6, and it will stay on until the car is switched off

Here's a link to the other post. got pics of the project and the end result =)

how is everything with the power button. still wanting one for mine but can just imagine its one of those things that wears off after a few days. do you use it for everytime you start the car

I use it everytime unless im in a real hurry to start the car. usually i go to ignition, seat belt, button. I've only had it for some time so i cannot tell you if it wears out but i've talked to members on other forums who've had it for over a year. besides, if it wears out, the wiring would be done all you have to do is replace the button.

with the wearing out i mean the novelty

oh ic. well dunno. all my friends love it ^_^ LOL.

My freelander 2 has push button start. Basically the remote for locking/unlocking is just a rectangular block with no key at all. You just slide the block into a slot in the dashboard, hold the clutch down and press start. It's cool
