HUH? Do you want to charge yourself for turning on your car?? What happend when your wallet gets lost,stolen or misplaced?? Why not just hide a toggle switch and a push button??

Total Performance in Wallingford, Connecticut, had them in their catalog a few years ago. ..... I don't know if they still sell them.

About half way down, on their page 14 is what you want. I know they are sold in USA, but I won't know the details until tomorrow.

Only problem is any credit card would start it. It was just a slot with a micro switch to trigger it. You could make it pretty easy. Most times there was another dead switch hidden. I have not seen one that used the magnetic strip...i am sure somebody has made one but never seen it. Streetworks used to have something like it and i think they also got rid of it.

The credit ignition would NOT work with just any card. You have to use the card they sent with the unit (you get 2 cards and can order more) just like a key. There are 5 holes in the card for the micro switches to key on in order to start the car. The only trouble I have heard of is if one of the little micro switches fail, your car won't start. I have never seen a card that has a magnetic strip on it, just the five little holes.
