Push button start
I have a 2008 subaru wrx. I wonder if there is any store in Bay Area that helps costumers to install push button start in our key start car...

There's security car alarm places that will do it. Places that come to mind is custom car alarm in concord I think I spoke to them about push start and remote start.

This kit comes with everything you need from what I know. Then just need to get it installed.

Only problem with that kit Apetron is that the key fob itself is super finicky and only works sometimes. Theres another system out there which I will research for tomorrow however, the one that SMY sells is good only for the push start function not remote start.
Found the kit:

I dont know where you can get it else where but this is what I found and I have heard much better reviews on this setup.

Very cool. Thanks for the info. I didn't know that. I thought smy sold the whole kit as a remote start and push button kit as a whole. But anyways I will do more research into it as this has been a feature I do eventually want
