I have a better solution. If you can't and don't want to think about it, move along to another thread to your liking. I get people have opinions on this. If the consensus is "why bother" I get that too. Doesn't change the fact that an engine can be started in other ways and I would prefer...

My ideal solution... two switches. One hidden for the fuel pump one to start. If I could get there I could do whatever I like. Just don't know how to get there. No cares if it is the easiest rig in the world to steal.

I get that. I tend to not be clear sometimes. I don't really care about turning a key or pushing a button or flipping a switch. I dont really care for the fob but the physical fob itself doesn't really bother me. What I want to get rid of is the need for a wireless signal to be present in...

I hear that and appreciate but it isn't pushing a button I want to rid, it is proximity fob needed period I want to rid. Thanks anyhow.

No, I do get that. If it was easy I would of already done it. I get it. It is built in and isn't just replacing a button with a turn key. Still don't want it. Still want to get rid of it. Still will ask if anyone has successfully done so or solicit thoughts and suggestions on doing so. I do...

Well, I also refuse to believe it is impossible to replace proximity start with a switch. I don't give a darn what the solution is but I refuse to believe that the ignition system of any car can't be replaced by an enterprising, smart, DIYer. This is simply one component of a system. I refuse...

Well. Yeah. I didn't want it to go there but people who dont want proximity start aren't going anywhere. With no solution I doubt I will be the last. Wish I was more of an electronics guy, I'd rather write the tutorial than beg for an answer.

Wow really? I don't see that lawsuit going anywhere. Its not like they advertised otherwise. How in the world could it be their fault if a car gets stolen. Utter nonsense. Every single car on earth can be stolen. If someone wants it, they can get it. That is life. I'd just like the car I...

Lol. Thats cool. As it stands amateur tow trucks can already steal it. I just don't want to be annoyed by tech I don't like. Happy to take my chances on theft.

Yeah I imagine the reason manual lock jeeps still come with the proximity fob to start it, is simply because it is cheaper for jeep to keep the proximity start than not. I get thats where everything has gone. Even the cheapest new car I believe comes with proximity start. Not trying to be a...

A year in, 6k miles, zero issues so far (knocked on wood).

This has been brought up before. Not sure if any solutions came about. Found this thread (edited had wrong link before) https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/delete-push-button-start-go-back-to-keyed-ignition-the-rfid-brick-has-to-go.26072/page-7#post-461260 But it seemed to turn...

Maybe a stupid(er?) Idea.... How about buying some extra door hinges and mounting them to the rear doors or tailgate maybe? Somewhere else? Could atleast take off the front and store them right on board. Would have to come up with a way to "shut" them so they don't swing around. I dunno. I...

Thats pretty sweet! Ya know, for a canuck...?

Yup yup. Yup. I was surprised no locks on the panels. I think even my moms 90's geo tracker had locks. I don't know about Jeeps and how often it happens but I read enough stories on the MR2 forum to keep mine locked up at all times. I do get the people saying don't worry about it. Its not...

Just brainstorming here but since the backseat is out and the rear hardtop removed... maybe I could pick up one of these? Any suggestions/reviews? Did a search but didn't come up with all that much. Maybe check JL threads?

I didn't ask. One of them had a gun. It was already weird enough.

Now thats an idea.
