I just became the owner of a 4x4 1991 Nissan Hardbody, and like all things I’ve got to tinker a bit.
Summary
My goal with this one is to add power door locks and a push button start that works with @Chimpofm newest simple sexy.
So far the plan is to install door locks using the keyless remote link at the bottom, and a push button as a replacement for the key. I’m pretty sure some folks in the forum have already done this solely using the two products below but I really want a talking car, and I’d really like to be able to unlock the car and start it with the same “authentication mode” so I’m going with the simple sexy as the brains of the operation.
Quick napkin planning would be to house the reader in the driver side mirror.
- If possible use the low power mode with a capacitive touch sensor to wake the reader. (potentially issues with rain, so I may just add a metal toggle switch)
Proposed Workflows
I still need to do some figuring here with the “off” as the attempt is to bypass all the smarts in the start button kit but we’ll see

Parts
If this one goes well, the motorcycle is next stay tuned
