Good to know -
I was looking at one and the dude said it would not work - but could not explain why.
Would you know much about how you hook em up? Looks like they have two wires I’m assuming one goes to the battery and would it be fair to say that the other would probably go to the starter motor?

Are you talking about a remote starter switch like this?

It’s literally just 2 wires and a push button switch so I can’t imagine there being much difference between brands
For a 258 you would hook up one wire to the positive terminal of the battery, and the other one to the solenoid. By energizing the solenoid that will engage the starter. You don’t want to hook up directly to the starter because the wires and switch can’t handle that kind of current.
This will turn the starter and crank it but if you actually want the car to start you need to have the key in the “on” position or also run power to the ignition

Good point. I read it as a battery jump pack but you may be right. Either would work in on a 258.
