Really convenient idea. I recall the FJ Cruiser had a stock "clutch start cancel" button that would reset after you started the car. Is anyone familiar with this and know how it worked?

After reading a bunch of forum posts on this and the $100 remote start I pulled the trigger and am going to do this mod with a hidden switch so when others drive the jeep I can disable the remote start.
now the only issue is I cant lock or unlock doors from my condo to where im parked, I make it about 3/4 way to the condo before I loose reception :(

Disclaimer: Do at your own risk.
I searched everywhere and couldn't find any info, I know it's been done considering some people have remote starts on there 6spd JK's. That was what prompted me and the fact I prefer to just reaching in and turn the key to warm it up. I am aware of the consequences of leaving it in gear and cranking. So again "DO AT YOUR OWN RISK".
1: Pop hood
2: Near front driver side headlight you will see a cast aluminum thingy with three black plugs(red slider locks)
3: Assuming you found it, third plug from left closest to radiator(there's one empty location) slide red slider to unlock and pull out.
4: Slice open wire loom(carefully) locate solid yellow with red stripe.
5: To test, strip a little of the insulation back, run a scrap wire from yellow/red wire to a good ground. MAKE SURE IT IS IN NEUTRAL! Twist key and let out a sigh of relief, it starts with now clutch.
6: Assuming you're not pinned under your jeep
. Shut engine down.
7: What I did was to poke a hole through center of exposed copper of yellow/red wire.
8: Then take a 8 to 10" piece of spare wire and strip end.
9: Insert stripped end through hole made in step 7 and twist 'em nice and tight.
10: Solder(optional but prefered) new wire to yellow/red. Wrap with a good quality electrical tape.
11: Other end of 8 to 10" wire crimp a 1/4" ring terminal(optional, I solder the wire in end once I crimp)
12: Locate ground lug near driver fender, loosen nut with a 10mm open end or socket and secure ring terminal.
13: Make sure no tools or other crap is laying around under hood and close her up.
SEE PICS BELOW:PM ME WITH ANY ?'s
I take no responsibility in anything that may or may not happen if you perform this mod.
ENJOY!!!!! BTW this isn't my usual camera, when I install the remote start I'll have better pics.
