how does a car start?

[indecisive]

anybody know how to make a car start? basically, how do you hotwire?

I'm looking at the wirig diagram, and to me...it looks like if you make a connection between the wire going to the starter, and the wire going to your ignition live, then the car should start...

or do I need to make a three way connection between those two and 12volt constant?

I'm generally okay with electronics, but I don't have the knowledge of how the ignition cylinder works so I'm not completely sure.
