make good use of your cigarette lighter

The car didn't want to turn on with the normal ignition switch, so I decided to make my own. It was relatively easy, the hard part was hiding all the wiring. I placed the relay and fuse link in the little engine computer compartment, I passed a cable through the drain hole and connected it to the starter, I passed another cable through the firewall using the hole where the wiring harness passes through, I then used BSW's dice guide to gain access to the cigarette lighter, and PRESTO!!!

I don't see how this is useless, this is how most BMWs are nowadays.

If someone's gonna steal your car they won't know how to do it, lol

@ChimoSteve They still need the key

@Mobi1290 correction: i agree this started the vehicle. i meant to say that the car was clearly off, and then clearly started by the switch.

@tedhornstra You idiot, all cars have that option, it's call aftermarket.

@Jaesango he told you in the video, if you were paying attention, that the ignition switch was broken.

@ChimoSteve ummm no they dont. you still have to have the key

[Mobi1290]

@arramad look at the rpm's on the car. the engine is running.

[goatkiller68]

@ChimoSteve not really. you still need the key

[arramad]

what you did is.....running another car next to you every time you press on the cigarette lighter !

@jimmygrizz28 There is no remote start on the stock BMW key. BMW, to this day doesn't have a 'remote start' option
