Keyless entry & pushbutton start addition
So I picked up one of these sets http://www.advancedkeys.com/index.htm to add keyless entry and pushbutton start to the SC.
Very fast shipping but somewhat complicated directions :-)
Anyone do the same thing? I found a post referencing Advanced Keys but nothing specifically about installing it. I definitely need to get a wiring diagram (2008 model) and potentially some pointers on how to safely take the various covering panels off. I've been collecting posts on how to get the center console/shift indicator plate, a-pillar cover removal, etc off without damaging the parts but I'm piecing it together. Anyone who has done this with pics would help me feel more confident before I start to pull it apart.
Anyone know where I can find the wiring diagram for the front - ignition, door locks, remote starter (I have one of those installed), etc?
TIA
Jim

Yep, that's the way I'm going to go. I know it reduces the security of the car a bit but I've seen more than a few cars where the steering wheel lock was broken in order to bypass that security and as someone noted here in a past post, if they really want the car they'll get it. It's not supposed to start without the security key card in my pocket so if that's true, I don't think I'm really making it more vulnerable to theft. The "auto-locking" feature makes it pretty foolproof that it'll always be locked when I step away - I pretty much do that with my other cars but still go back and check every now & then because I'm not sure I remembered to hit the button on the remote.
