FYI the push button start function did not work properly with Emtron. We were using it on a 2jz swap and after they couldn't work that out we put a Motec in the car to get it done.

I would assume that since emtron has a plug and play kit available, the ability to utilize the push start button should be available by now.

At that time, I decided to go with Motec. If memory serves me well, at that time I did the swap, they also didn't have support for push button or they thought they had the code but were still trying to get a car to confirm it worked. I'm all up for cheaper solutions. There's a CANBUS translator from Australia, that seems badass and promising with all functions working, but it also has been "promised" for three years and still has not been officially released. If that would have been available when I swapped, I would have gone with it, but to this date it is not available and I swapped a year ago (started planing about a year before that).

You’re in the right track with emtron but I wouldn’t say more performance options. It’s a very capable unit but motec has been around for a long time with many many options. |

It's not a bad ecu at all, I may even be putting one in my Viper. But without being able to write custom firmware like we can with Motec it just didn't work out for our time frame we had

Yeah that true. The General rule of thumb with most translators or devices is that the features that will work depends more on the ECU that your new engine will run. IE if your stock ecu does not support Traction Control most likely the car wont have traction control. If your ECU is old school based like a tach wire and temp wire than those are the features that will be supported. If you get something like motec which can be programmed to support almost very thing then it can be. But not everything is canbus. some signals are also had wired. so those are required to run everything 100% And wiring can vary from Manual vs Auto, and push start vs turn key.
