Is There Any Harm in Modifying One-Button Start?
1 Answers
Modifying one-button start does pose certain risks, which can affect both your vehicle and personal safety. Below is a detailed introduction to its potential hazards: 1. Difficulties in Handling Accidents: First, insurance companies will not cover claims because the modification was done privately. The shop that performed the modification will not take any responsibility. You may encounter numerous issues during maintenance or repairs at a 4S dealership. 2. Steering Lock: It is impossible to install an electronic steering lock with an aftermarket one-button start. Therefore, you will need to split your original key into two parts, inserting the mechanical key into the ignition lock to permanently disable the steering lock. This means the steering wheel will never lock, and the car can be pushed anywhere by anyone. 3. Anti-Theft System: Installing a one-button start essentially just adds a [button switch]. To start the vehicle, the system must recognize the chip signal from the original key. Thus, the split key handle must be hidden inside the car for chip recognition, keeping the vehicle in a perpetual state of recognizing the original key. No matter how well hidden, the key handle cannot exceed a 1-meter range, and the read coil wire can easily be traced to locate it. 4. Installation and Restoration: Restoration is very straightforward—simply unplug the connector and reinsert it into its original position.
