I was looking to do an S2000 Engine Start button install, but I wanted to retain functionality of the key as well... could I just use taps instead of cutting the wires to be able to use the key or the button?

Might want to ask BlackRoadster... I think he's done a start button.
Of course, the best way to get one is factory origional....::Clown::
Did Miatas ever come with a start button option??
Majik did the BRB too and later tore it out.
Ummm... not that I'm aware of.... (be a good time to notice the title under my user name).Quote:

Any reason why Majik decided to get rid of his?
He changed it over to this setup! ::Clown::Quote:

Bolix if you get a S2k button be sure and read up on the pointy board. Someone over there wired it up with a hard drive connector or something similar. This made it a lot more simple and clean than have to try and solder it. The reason I took mine out, is because of a engine disabling alarm the PO had in the car. It wouldn't let the button work.
Yeah they probably used a floppy drive molex connector. I read about it on miata.net/garage.
But do you think I could use taps to enable the use of both the key and the button?
That is a good question. To tell you the truth I am not sure. You have to turn the key to run for the BRB to work as it is.

The 2006 is the first to offer it as an option.Quote:

Pulled over and it had burned one of the BRB wires. I put things back to stock and haven't had the cajones to get a new relay and reinstall it.Quote:
