**0720Steve** · 03-16-2009, 06:48 PM

i have done it.

michinsi · 03-16-2009, 08:56 PM

Installed! Took me about 2 hours...did it first time and everything worked. When I put the dash back in, it didn't work. Anyways got it working now! Great DIY!

I want this!! If I were to bring this to a dealership, about how much would you think it would cost? I don't want to void the warranty on my 09..

kotor723 · 03-23-2009, 06:46 PM

Can you still make the connector? And if so how much?

Seeing as it's not a factory honda "item", they probably wouldn't want to touch it. Just a guess.

mikochu · 03-23-2009, 11:48 PM

Wait, so... are there people on this forum selling custom harnesses for this mod?

joon joon · 03-24-2009, 02:37 AM

kotor and mikochu i pmed u guys

I know the S2000 disables the start button once the car is cranked and running. Now, is the CTR button still hot once the car is cranked/running? Is this the reason for the e-brake fail-safe wiring?

^^ You are correct!

joon joon · 03-24-2009, 12:42 PM

yes its still hot but cant push it cuz of the clutch safety switch, not the ebrake switch i put in.. if the clutch isnt in the starter wont turn...

Crusin_w00kie · 03-28-2009, 10:32 PM

Did mine last night, wicked cool little mod. I do have a couple small questions though, and maybe you guys can point me in the right direction.

When I use the start button to start the car, I hear a little static pop in the speakers. Oh...and my VSA lights and other lights in that area don't light up. The buttons work, I can turn VSA on and off and I can scroll through my trip meter and stuff, but the buttons aren't lit up.

I'm guessing it's a grounding issue. Should I look for another grounding point somewhere under the dash?

Pm me about it I'm in the la area

Albrecq'sSI · 03-29-2009, 09:05 PM

Has anyone tried to do this on an 09? I was told that you could not do the same ctr switch as this diy. But it doesn't seem to me that it would be any different. Just wondering because I would like to do this.

joon joon · 03-29-2009, 10:08 PM

it should be the same... i dont see y it wouldnt... im pretty sure the only thing that changed was the front end... nothing else should have changed

mattyv · 03-31-2009, 12:25 AM

just installed my ctr engine start button with joon joon's harness... worked perfectly first try... very clean install - looks stock... highly recommend buying from him

Albrecq'sSI · 03-31-2009, 01:50 AM

Just asked my dealer about it. Since they get parts from streetlightz and work with this site they are going to do it. $215 for parts (hazard switch, housing, and push start) and install. Is it worth that much?

mikochu · 03-31-2009, 09:43 AM

How do you guys mount the bezel? I'm afraid of a hack-job.

steady hand, dremel, and a few random metal clips (i found some extra that were for a ceiling pot light - easy to bend and secure)
