Step 1: First thing your going to need remove the cigarette lighter so you can modify the hole to fit your new start button. To do this use your finger and pull the out through the hole in holder. You may disconnect it if you would like, The picture shows where to put your finger find the hole.

Step 2: Next you want to pull out your console, be careful when pulling this out, some wires you'll need to disconnect: cigarette power, heated seats, and a light bulb. Once this is out pop the cigarette lighter out from the console. Push up on it from the bottom, will take a little bit of force but it will
right out.



Step 3: Now to the Use the Emery to make the hole Slightly larger for your start button.



Step 4: There are three screws, one to the left and right of the steering wheel, and one closer to the gas pedal.



Step 5: Below is a wiring diagram for the relay.




Step 6: Now Find on the green wire and give it a cut, in the middle so you have some slack on both sides. With a piece of wire tap into the green wire and tape all ends With piece of wire into the green wire connect it to the relay as shown on the wiring diagram Below is a picture of the ignition harness, this is where the wires you are tapping terminate. Your going to want to cut them down towards the harness that goes towards the starter as shown in the second picture.





Step 7: Next is to cut the Yellow/Black wire. ( NOTE - Some cars may have a Green/Black wire instead of Yellow/Black, there is no difference in the cars, just different productions of the E36 - 3 series) if you want your car to start with only the button ( which is what I did ) tape off the end of the wire that goes towards the ignition. to wire to the side of the Yellow/Black wire that goes towards the starter.



Step 8: Here is just a picture of the relay used with the wires connected to it



Step 9 : run Now the start
