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:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/one-w...694844042.html..

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.

Found the kit:

Free shipping, one way dedicated alarm system for Subaru Forester, press button start engine, passive keyless entry-in Alarm Systems & Security from Automobiles & Motorcycles on Aliexpress.com..

That specific kit does not have a key fob and is purely keyless. Uses a smallish credit card via RFID to lock, unlock, and operate the push start.

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

Any reputable car alarm/stereo shop should be able to do it.
