here is the pics sry took me a while to find

i have and 07 so this doesnt help but the other day i looked at the challenger it was and 08 and it did have one it had the 08 key but then the salesman came out and just poped this little plastic knob in and he said ya all it is is a plastic button that has a insert to go right into the 08 sry if this is a repost but i believe that for the jeeps all you need is to get that knob thing i couldnt find a pic

Thats is what i think.

I've read it like three times and am still like WTF????

Are you talking about this thing?

I didn't follow that at all. :(

WTF !!!! :popblood::popblood:

If I read it right, are you saying that all you need is the plastic insert for the '08 GC SRT8 to have keyless go? If so that is not correct, you have to use the key in the Jeep.

why is this a MUST READ again?!?

Thanks for the cluster*** of writing, my head is spinning.
:confused::confused::confused::confused:

Are you talking about this thing?

ok since this is hard to explain go look at a challenger and the button where the key goes that says start/stop pops out and the 08 key fits inside like a regular key, so im thinking if 08 owners can just get that little plastic start/stop thing they will have push button start like the challenger

I think that is an 09 option only for the Jeeps and was probably released for the Challengers early.

Unless I'm not sure what you're saying either. :p

it was and 08 challenger same key as the 08 jeep. i went to go use the key to start the car and the salesmen told me to wait. then he came out with a little plastic start/stop button and it poped right into where the key would go. he said as long as you have the key in the car you could just the push button start. so if u have a 08 go to a dealer ship ask them if you could use that little plastic button and see if it work in the jeep

I have to check this out, Cool find.

That makes a lot more sense now. :D How much they charging for that? 2 hours?

Here is a write up i found on the chally site

http://www.challengertalk.com/forums/f39/starter-button-keyless-go-5504/index3.html


OK. Here's how to install the Keyless Go system into a Challenger 08-09 8 CYLINDER (5.7 or 6.1):

PART 1: Hardware Needed.

Parts you will need:

Keyless Go Key Fobs (05026457AE) 5 button FOB (this FOB has remote start and is the fob for the SRT8)
OR
You could also use part #05026567AE, this is a 4 button FOB, it does not include the remote start feature. (Remote start can also be added easily, you just need the proper Hood switch (Mopar $20) and then program the Cars computer (TIPM) for remote start.

A couple notes about FOBIKS. Once they have been married to a car, they cannot be married to another WIN. It will not work. It changes the programming information inside the FOBIK as well and it will never ba able to be used with another WIN. Be aware of that if you intend to buy a used FOBIK as you will not be able to program it to your car. You must only use Virgin FOBIKS. There is a way to "de-kit" fobiks and return them to a virgin status, but you have to have the right software, and a test box that will program the key. This is not something even a dealership can do. Also, the WIN will accept up to 8 FOBIKS total, so you can keep your 2 original FOBIKS, and then add up to 6 more, or erase your original FOBIKS and program up to 8 new ones. If you opt to keep your original 2 programmed to the car, they will never work with Keyless Go, but they will still perform as they do now. Only the New Keyless go FOBIKS will allow you to start the car with the Start/Stop Button (SSB).

(2) LF Antennas (05026444XX) XX is the revision, I am not sure of the current revision, but any will work.

(1) PEM (Passive Entry Module) (05026443AF).

(1) SSB (Start/Stop Button) (1FU931X9XX).


Recap of parts needed:
(1) WIN - Your current WIN is fine.
(1) PEM
(1) SSB
(2 or more) KG Fobiks (4 or 5 button, with or withour remote start function)
(2) LF antennas

Bwahhhh......ha...ha...ha!!!!!!

My buddy has an 08 Challenger,and he claims you dont need the key or plastic piece..He said that you can just stick your finger in the hole and push or twist and it starts...This is what my buddy told me who owns a 08 SRT/8 Jeep...

thanks teacher forgot i was in english class

WTF......come one people learn to spell....argh!!!!!!!!!1

Yeah I had to read the original thread 3 times before I had a clue what this dude was trying to say.

BillyBoys,
I have an 08 SRT8 and I cannot turn the ignition using my fingers. When I tried the EVIC says "damaged key". Not sure how he did it.
There appears to be two pieces that need to be depressed before it will turn which I cannot do with one finger.

This would be great if it will work on the 08 SRT8 Jeeps as pushbutton start and passive lock/unlock is a great feature. I loved those features on my C6 Corvette. You never have to touch your keyfob.

Still waiting to find out if this will work on the 08 Jeeps. To bad it sounds like there is a lot of screwing around with the starscan tools which a lot of dealerships dont care to do especially when retrofitting a system like this.

Resume- care to comment on the push button application for an 08 GCSRT8? Its not a huge deal- but if it can be done- I'll do it. Thanks.

Thats Funny, I think you have to stay after Forum and cut & paste. I will not write run on sentences. I will use Punctuation. I will use Spell check, 50x's LOL :thinkerg:

Firefox has spell check! :D No misspellings here. ;)

It's "you're" or "you are" :D

But seriously, I understand what he is trying to convey but he isn't making it easy.

Basically the jist is that you can pop in the remote start button available on the Challenger to an 08+ Jeep SRT8 and it will work.

I won't believe it till somebody has actually done it. So anybody want to be the guinea pig and test this out and report back?

I just pm'd Firebird2000 (guy that did the writeup for the Chally), if he thinks it'll work I'm doing it for sure, whatever it takes!

<in for the information>

Hmmm...this thread makes my head hurt...Just a thought here guys, do you really want to go messing with the ignition system of these rigs?....

If it is plug and play- or close to- the answer is sure.

If it is plug and play- or close to- the answer is sure.

I will too, but it will be an expensive proposition. Fobik's aren't cheap!

Anyone find out anything more on this? Keyless-Go is great and I'd be all over this if it was a few hundred bucks.

Firebird is on vacation. Back next week, I think. He is going to contact me on his return.

Im confused.. Is it just a key replacement? because why would you be able to remove it and use a key??? I guess if you get tired of pushing a button??

I am so interested in this. Does anyone have any more info?

Im talking with the dealer now, and it sounds possible. According to both parts guy's it won't be a problem, but the electrical guru is on vaccation til the 11th and I will have my answer shortly after. The way the parts manuals are read to me- $250 for the kit, $250 for install, having said that I've got an idea that I'll fill everyone in on if it works out for me.

I wouldnt let a dealership touch my car for installing something. Save the money and do it yourself. Let us know what you find out.

I look at the typing across most forums and it begins to crystalize as to why the US is so far behind with everything. The only excused ones are those who are not from this country (and they usually have the decency to preface what they write by saying their English isn't that good).

For all domestic posters, if your typing skills suck or you write 'sry' instead of 'sorry', then let us know by saying "i'm part of the retarded youth generation who like to save 2 or 3 letters" or "i grew up in a trailer and never learned how to type". That way you won't get all these comments asking you to type properly. I mean this isn't a Honda Civic forum where all owners are wannabe 20 somethings.

^^^WTF are you talking about, and what does it have to do with push button start? Honest to god- 40 posts on push button start, and 1 post on being an a$$.

pshbttnstrtplz. kthxbye. :D

Hopefully Ryan has a work around that'll save some $$ on this mod. I don't mind $250 for the hardware, but I'd probably hold off if it was going to run $500 or more all-in...

does the 09 Jeep SRT have that option?????

does the 09 Jeep SRT have that option?????

Push button start is not an option on the 09's.

does the 09 Jeep SRT have that option?????

I was curious as well because some people have said the 09's come with keyless go and push button start but I have yet to see a picture of an 09 that actually has push button start. Im thinking they did not get that stuff. Can some of the 09 owners chime in here.

Push button start is not an option on the 09's.

answers my question thanks.

answers my question thanks.

mine too... thx bud

Push button start was slated to be available on the 09 GCSRT8, but was cut before the 09 was released.

ResumeSpeed should be able to give ya the skinny.

Someone try this already and post the details !!

Need more than the button....(period).

If it were that easy, they would try and sell it to everyone who has and SRT8.

push button start is a worthless gimmick. that's my on topic contribution.

What's the final thought on this? Can it be done?

More than likely, I'll let you know by the 12th-13th. Im just working an idea out right now where Im trying to get the cost less than half of the quote- again if it works for me, I'll share it.

push button start is a worthless gimmick. that's my on topic contribution.

Hard to say man. If I can use the remote start, jump in and the sensor picks up that the key is on my person and off I go- then that is a trick little set up. If it is anything less than that, the money wont be worth the little button in the dash. Thats my take anyway

Anyone have an update???

Lazy people....haha just kidding...that's pretty cool. I would assume it's a lot more than just installing the button...You may need to get it programmed or something

I will be looking into this quite a bit more. Since I have played with it in my father's '09 Challenger SRT-8, and also understand all of the systems involved, I am fairly certain I can get this working. The only issue I see would be lack of pre-installed wiring for the PEM and LF Antennas, but I will take a look. We will certainly need the other style WIN module however, as ours are different than the challenger, but they should be interchangeable.

Alright- I'll let you guys in on what Ive been working on and how far I got. My idea was to wrap up the key fob recall and grab new fobs outta the kit with the push button start under warranty and then just cough up the cash for the push button start. The dealer was working with me on this.

As far as getting the system to operate goes, I am told there would be the requrirment of an extra pannel, then fairly complex wiring and splicing to get the whole kit to operate correctly. The guy I know who does this kinda thing is saying that it could be done, but there would be wiring risks and problems as the jeep is already fairly sensative.

I was thinking about it, but gonna drop it now. As others have said- this is definately not a dealer mod as your jeep will most likely never be the same. If you have a ton of knowledge on the topic and are able to select the correct sub-pannel, wire it up to the stock pannel and route the rest of it- then you are better than me- and can do it first and post instructions for dummies.

To recap- one thing I was able to do was negotiate the new fobs under warranty- this'll will knock a couple hundred bucks off of the new push button kit. If you havent done the 08 fobik recall, you can ask for the fobs outta the push button kit as replacements, pay the cash for the button- and take the whole thing home for $50-$100, and get to work.

Thats all I know.

this was really interesting to read but the fact is that I have a remote start kit on the car that can start the car from anywhere in the world mind that a gsm network is available, so i can't see the point in having this but if i could integrate this to my existing system as to keep the car running without the key in the key fob would be interesting meaning leaving the key in my pocket and it would sense that the key is with-in range to keep the car running.
