remote starter? hell its nearly manditory up here in minnesota in the winter. (-20 -30 below). ive installed 2 in my life, but in the end the pain in the *** it is is not worth the money saved to have installed on the wifes car ($159 installed last xmas). 1st was a dodge neon, second was a chevy 1500, its not really hard but its tedious work and takes a few hours. unless you are a money that likes to be upside down under the column floating above the drenched floor i would have someone else do it.

if your talking a starter button in car thats a whole different animal.

[quote]and then you press the button and BAM! so what you need to do is take the wire that would normally trigger the starter (when you turn the key all the way then release it to start the car normally) and run that to the positive side of the button, then find your negative and run it to the negative side of the button. i dont know if i explained it the greatest... but... oh well. if you dont fully understand i would not recommend trying it and hacking up your wiring.
If you wire the switch as described above, basically what you are going to do is short 12 volts to ground, and you will see a lot of smoke and fire.

Since the starter is already grounded, find the wire from key switch that goes to the starter solenoid and install the switch inline with this wire. This will apply 12 volts to the solenoid thus applying 12 volts to starter. This switch should should be momentary operated (spring loaded), and should be able to handle the current needed.

Never put voltage on one side of switch and ground on the other side because you will have a short circuit. A load example (starter) has to be in between voltage and ground.

my neighbor has an 84 with a push botton start still has the clutch safty thing and he doesnt need teh key in it

really easy... had to do it in my buddies 70 nova. all you really need is a push button switch that only completes its circuit when the button is held in. hook a line up from the battery to the switch, then from the switch to the lead on starter and your done. then all you have to do is put the key in the on position and push the button.
