The targeted vehicles are those with keyless entry and start systems, exploiting the technology to get into the car and drive it away.
In a striking example of the law of unintended consequences, a popular automotive convenience feature, push-button start, can lead to accidental death from carbon-monoxide poisoning. A simple technical fix—an attention-grabbing warning audible from outside the car—could head off the problem before it happens. Remote starters are convenient, inexpensive and easy to install.
Install a remote starter for your car yourself. In short, yes they do! Compustar remote starters use a powerful, proprietary technology to make remote start safe for push-to-start drivers. There is a myth that remote starters can damage your vehicle. The truth of this is, a properly installed, high quality system will not cause any damage. Push button start cars use a keyless ignition system.
Since the car will only recognize the signal from that one fob, it makes stealing your car more difficult. Hotwiring is a great method for starting a vehicle without keys. It is the process of bypassing the ignition system. Can you hot-wire those? The answer is no. Essentially, these cars work more like computers.
They unlock whenever the key fob is in the vicinity, and the ignition starts with a press or turn of a button. Your local mobile enhancement retailer can add a keyless entry system to almost any vehicle. If your car or truck comes with electronic door lock buttons, the wiring or data control network in the vehicle can be integrated with a remote system.
Determine the best location for the push button switch. It should be in an area of the dashboard which can be easily reached by the driver.
Use an electric drill and a drill bit of sufficient size to drill a hole large enough to mount the switch. Check your switch for the size as it can vary from one brand to another. Locate the starter solenoid. It will be found under the hood and on the inner fender, such as the one in the photo, or it will be built on to the starter. Using the crimping tool, crimp a solderless terminal of the type necessary to fit the lugs on the back of your push button switch to the stripped end of this wire.
Attach to the switch. Run the wire through the firewall and out to the solenoid. Install a solderless terminal -- aka "weatherproof quick disconnect" -- which will fit the solenoid terminal to the wire and attach to the solenoid.
Fabricate a second wire and attach it to the switch; cut the wire about two feet longer then needed to reach the battery. Connect the opposite end to a 12 volt power source or directly to the positive terminal of the vehicle battery. Attach a wire to the positive terminal of the battery. Attach the other end of the wire to the switch. Reconnect the negative side of the battery to the negative cable.

Step 2 Push the switch wire into the hole and connect it to the power supply wire of the vehicle using a terminal connector.
Step 3 Attach the switch to the hole using the nut that came with the switch. Step 4 Connect the power wire of the switch to the accessory you intend to toggle, such as the headlights. Test the switch by pushing it to the "On" position. Step 1 Disconnect the negative cable that attaches to the negative side of the battery. Step 2 Drill a small hole in the dash to mount the switch.
