+1 on the DIY write up if it actually works! Having video of it working would also be great.

It absolutely works, The key no longer starts the car, but does have to be in and turned to on.

There are many ways your could install it, I wired mine directly to the starter so thats all it controls, it will turn the motor over with out the key but the engine will not start.
i might install a relay so that it only works when the key is on but its not that important to me. I'll try and get some other pics up and do a DIY with the multiple ways to wire it.
I'll get a video of it starting the car too.

Any way to install it into the current key hole? And wire it so there is no key needed at all (well, xcept maybe to lock/unlock the car)?
