Ok...so this should probably help those who are thinking of installing a Push Button Starter in their Celica. Check out these sites for more info on their products:
There are four wires you will need to run from the back of your Start Button. It is easiest to remove your center console to do this as well as the panel under your steering wheel.
Wire #1 use 18Gauge and this wire needs to run to any 12 volt power when the ignition is on. This is also the power that will illuminate the light.
Wire #2 use 18Gauge and ground this wire.
Wire #3 use 12Gauge and splice into your ignition wire (so you can still start the car without the button)
Wire #4 is optional but it provides the anti-grind feature of Ignited Start Buttons so while the park brake is down and you're driving the button won't function and some fool can't push it and mess your shit up. Use 12Gauge and connect this wire to the emergency brake light power.
This info is basically specific to the Ignited Starter and not others although feel free to check out some others if you want
Currently here is a link for the Ignited starter on eBay brand new for $49.99USD which is a great price. Ignited Starter on eBay [cgi.ebay.com]
Most people put the button where the cig lighter currently goes but check out the DIN aluminum plate that I got, it comes in different colors and stuff.
If you're thinking about getting the DIN plate, they include 2 sizes, although they advertise it as "universal" whatev though. If you're like me and have that hole under your current deck that apparently "holds" CDs although it's wide enough to almost freaking old school records...then you'll need to use the smaller one.
So you can see the little CD holder in the pic above and that piece comes off pretty easily so that's what I did cause the harness provided with the panel was too narrow. We used super adhesive glue to hold my panel to the trim around the deck and made it flush with the bottom of the deck.
Leave your wires a little longer so if you need to remove your panel later (like I will when I connect stuff to my two other switches) then there's some slack to do so. While the Ignited switches are a little pricey (est. $25USD) they look like they are worth that much and you can get them with or without LED, although the LED that's on when the switch is turned on is freaking bright as hell and totally cool!
sPeEd4tHeNeEd...I might take you up on that controller offer later. the one I had doesn't work so i bought this pimpin red one although one player is no fun!
In conclusion...Start Buttons are cool. Krystal Steal is HOT!!! And if you want a cheap and relatively functional mod you should get a Start Button...or even some switches (that way when your friends get in your car you can be all like "don't be hitten my switches...beatch!) Haha, it's late and I need sleep. I'm taking apart the console after the weekend to do some more stuff so I'll take more detailed pics then if anyone has more questions, let me know. Have fun!
Looks great bud. What do you all have to do to start the car up?
"Anyone who tells you money is the route of all evil DOESN'T have it- They say money cant buy happiness, well check out the fucking smile on my face, ear to ear baby"
You need to turn the key twice in the ignition - once to unlock the steering (duh) and second to to the ACC setting so there is ignition power...then you push the button. Because you are only splicing into your ignition you can start the car as before and not use the button if you prefer.
When the hell did you get all these mods done man, friggin I can't catch up to you no more! Your car's lookin fuckin sweet dude, congrats! Can't wait to see what's coming next man!
You sooooo don't wanna know! Well, each switch is like $25USD, panel was like $20USD and start button like $50USD haha, it's worth it I think cause that empty hole under my deck has pissed me off since day one. Now it gleams with coolness

Hello does anyone know where I can get a push start button.
ebay. amazon.
might also try googling your request for ideas specific to your custom project on the retail end. a speed shop could fabricate the project for you based on their rates and what you want to spend on it.
Thank you, I've been trying to find a start button kit that won't need to use the key to start, but so far the ones I come across needs the key in order for the car to start.
