Hi my friend :) It's great to hear from you, yes i am doing ok. just been through some changes and a new job and a new truck with a new budget stereo build in it. video coming soon. I have just been very busy and out of money lately lol

First, Thanks for sharing. Now near the beginning of your video you made a comment about the key and lock being worn and needing repair or replacement, but your "solution" still requires turning the key to "on" position. Isn't that defeating the purpose? Sound like your ignition electrical switch may be what was needing replacing, since the ignition's mechanical lock still appears to function. For those not familiar, there is at least the 2 at work in combination, the key lock, and behind it, the actual electrical ignition switch, which completes the circuits and often can be replaced separately from the keyed switch lock. Also the obvious, the switch is right in plain site?

Probably could have started it with a spoon handle. But at the time I just didn't have the like 85 bucks or whatever it was to have the ignition and key replaced lol this was about 8 bucks and the car works again. Also sort of an added security feature of an added kill switch because the var won't start until you press the button now and the key is in the ignition.

But the key has a chip in it that unlocks the immobilizer. So the key needs to be in the ignition to start the car. And when sitting in the car or getting in the car it's actually pretty impossible to find if you don't know it's there somehow. Tested on a few valet drivers lol. So basically to start the car you need rhe key in the ignition, turn the car on, then press the button to start. Needs all 3 won't work without any of the 3.

Cheaper is not always better. Looks like you made it easy to steal. I replaced the tumbler and had it keyed for 50$.

[@techsounds9956]

Nope still the same as the the tumbler because you need the key to deactivate the immobilizer. I'd say probably made it harder to steal because unless you knew about the button you can spend all day screwing around with the tumbler and she's not gonna start. Plus you need the chip key in the ignition or the immobilizer ring wont let the car start.
