anyone seen or installed one on the Stivo ?

I've done it on my T-Sport, which is damn close to the Stivo :whistling:

It's a pretty simple job, really, takes about an hour all in all depending on how my work you have to do in order to fit the button :)

Yes, Odd did quite a nice job on his start button too. It looks like it came that way. I think he used an S2000 start button too.

Scroll halfway done on the page I've linked to underneath and you'll see some pictures of my install. I think I have some more as swell that I didn not put up.

I used a Honda S2000 start button. Set me back about £65 inc. shipping (mind you..that was from England to Norway). Installation does not really require any special skills. You gotta take apart the center console and the covers underneath the steering wheel. Then butcher the ignition cable (hehe), do some easy wiring (instructions comes with the button) and some plastic work where you will be putting the button. Before you know it it's installed :)

Hey supra you should do a write up !!

Maybe I will... :whistling:

What did u do with the parts for your lighter ?

It's in a box somewhere in my garage...hehe It will never go back in the same whole unless I buy a new plastic cover. The button I used had a larger diameter so there were power tools involved :clap:

First linky should work just fine.

Second one would also work, but you'd probably see the wire when it crosses over from the gearknob to the stock gaiter. Minor issue, though.

Is the starter for the corolla 12v ?

What do you mean? The ignition signal is 12V. The starter runs off the 12V battery. Does that cover it? :)

with these you still need to put the key in and turn it all the way (just not start position) yeah ? almost seems like more effort having the start button....love the look of them though just be nice if could get it to work more like factory fitted starter buttons....i think new xr5 the key just needs to be within a distance of the car etc...can leave it in pocket...boss's beamer you have to stick the whole thing in the dash before you can press the button

True..you need to turn on the ignition with the carkey. I haven't looked into bypassing the immobilizer, which obviously would be the ulitmate solution. Would be cool to either have keyless ignition, or rally-style flipswitch and then just hit the startbutton :g: Don't think my insurance company would be too thrilled about a fliswiptch solution on the ignition though...hehe

supra i just looked at your thread... id be interested to find out where you bought those gas lifters for your hood.

jase

Off topic, but oh well.. ;)

They were bought locally, but are now off the car. Check the thread or my site in a couple of weeks time. I am replacing the ones depicted with Redline Tuning lifters which appear to be of much better quality and more importantly, better design! I already got them, just have to find some time to hit the workshop...

There were some new car models built this way but didn't pass the freaking ADR which is why they still require u to stick something in.

Deprived politicians i must say. Trying to make their existance worth while and valid .....

ZR6 Aurion doesnt require to take the key out of your pocket to unlock or start the car.

Im sure other models are like this as well but i would rather not think about what other cars have over what mine doesnt!

      Can I put a 2010 bumper on my 2008 Camry ?

      I have a 2008 Camry altise and recently damaged the front bumper and i'm wondering if I can fit a 2010 sportivo bumper on to replace it. It looks like it fits I know I will need to get new headlights for it to fit but do I need to do any modifications or will all the plastic clips and screws line up ?

      Anyone else tried these seat covers ?

      these seat covers look pretty good, but I've had bad experience when trying to fit some cheaper ones I bought online - they say custom fit, anyone else tried them ? Would love to know before I buy them, thanks all https://mycustomcar.com.au/

      am2 fuse blowing

      Hello, i have a 1996 starlet The problem is when i turn the key the fuse blows, and i have been looking over the wiring and can’t find any shorts or damaged wire. The car would not crank over because of the fise blowing. I found out that if i disconnect the transponder key ecu the fuse is holding, but as soon as i connect the transponder the fuse blows. So i wonder if there is something I can try out? should i just buy a new transponder box or is it something else i could try? and is it not kinda wierd that the box is the problem? I have looked inside the box and cant see any corrosion in the box

      Toyota Celica '96 5S-FE no spark

      Hi everyone, I have spent too much time on my Celica and even my mechanic is stumped at figuring out the issue so any tips will be appreciated. Here is what has been done, immobiliser disbabled, distributor replaced, igniter replaced, EFI relay replaced, and EFI 15AMP fuse is not blown. I tried jumping E1 and TE1 in the diagnostic port to try and get a code from the CEL but it doesn't light up, I think it might be burned out so I will have to get on that. I am now clueless about what to do next, it could be the ECU but I can't find any pointers too that.

      GR Corolla GTS Issues

      Update: Somerton Park Jarvis Toyota had the car for a full 9 hours and said they didn't test most of the faults then refused to give me the paper work. Andy the service guy and his manager Tim were dismissive and said they wouldnt investigate the problems. They said the adaptive cruise control braking is a known issue. They confirmed Android Auto wireless will not work with this model which is not what the sales guy told me i was very specific in my wording as i wanted to make sure wireless android auto was supported and was told yes it is supported. They said they cant test unless the car is hot and want me to drive for 90 minutes to 2 hours before bringing it in. Ive dealt with CMI Toyota over the last 5+ years and have had great dealings but this dealership seems like the other end of the spectrum. Upon getting home i noticed the right rear mag has been curbed. This dealership seems really untrustworthy.
