Push start helpppp

To the wiring gods out there I need some help to get the polo started.

Iv got this but came with no instruction on what needs to wire into what

Rear

It came with a small amount of wiring and a relay but I'm guessing I won't need the relay as in wiring it into the prelude ignition wiring

Any help with this will be amazing I no that the power switch will have the power ran from the battery then from the switch into the push butten but from there I've no clue as I need to have the switch to power everything not just to start the car if you get me..

Iv got rid of the ignition barrel so Ill need the switch to power everything if you get me...

I've not fitted one of these but fitted a turbo time on my old car which was quite involved.

Iirc When you turn the key in the ignition barrel it will put a +12v signal to start the motor which goes off when you let go of the key. the push to start just replaces that loop.

You'll need a multimeter to identify the correct wires on the dash for this process with. The button will probably have 2 connections, one will be 12v permanent live and the other will need to go to the wire which gets the 12v signal from the key turn.

That's how I'd expect it to work, someone who has installed one may say otherwise...

The only problem I have is the fact iv got rid of the barrel so I'm not just replacing the last turn anymore, So ill need the flip switch to power it then the push start to actually start it

You will need to use the switch to power a set of relays ideally. The switch isn't designed to cope with the current of running the whole electrical system through it.

You will also need to use a relay with the start button, again as the button isn't designed to cope with the starter current.

If red/black is the starter signal then yes, I can see where that would work.

But again as said in previous post, I would activate all the other wires using a relay for each as well for safety, otherwise that's a lot of current going through a very small switch.

How would I go about that? So far in my build this is the only thing that's got me stumped :/

I'll do a diagram when I get home tonight, it won't be as difficult as it sounds though
