push button starter
has anyone installed a "push button" start on their C5....I've replaced the ignition switch once already and think it is going again...codes 1571 and 1689....stay on sometimes ....clear themselves sometimes....no come on at all some times....

If the latter, I suspect the existing anti-theft circuitry would defeat you, without an almost total rework of the power/ignition circuitry.

There was another thread recently about this, don't know if the guy ever made it work. OP, Google C5 pushbutton start...
Replace the ignition switch again and carry on. I would wonder why the switch is going bad, what is the reason for the failures.

I'd say this is a case of if you have to ask, then don't. VATS, anti-theft, proximity system interface, etc. = no thanks.

in terms of the push button kits they have wires that replace each of the wire leads into the electronic ignition...not just a splice into the on/off switch....
