Is this the 1300 spi ? as this uses the same switch configuration as the earlier models, just the starter wire is a different colour.

The vitara 1600 SPI ignition switch configuration is quite different though.

I'll be honest, thinking about it what do people do when doing this conversion :er:
Does the vitara barrel/switch/lock unit fit on the sj column.
Does the actual switch part come off like the SJ one :er: as you could just use a screwdriver to operate it, while leaving the SJ barrel in place for a steering lock.

I'll have to try searching some info :oops:

Think you may have more problems :thumbdown:
That ring is there to read the chip in the key for the immobilizer.
No key = immobilized.
The problem with a push button start is there are more than one connection to be made.
The key chip also has to match the ecu so a different barrel/switch won't sort it.
Lets see if Rhinoman comes along as he's the guy who know's about all this electicory.
