$500 Aveo05Solved. Main post is how I wired mine up now.
Before anyone says push button sucks, I have my reasons. $23 Self fix for this car having a busted ignition switch prior to purchasing it for $500. A little more anti theft than it's current state.
Aveo Side-------RFID Push Button Side
YellowThick-------Blue: Acc
YellowThin--------Yellow: Starter
Red/Black mid-----Red: 12v +power
Pink--------------White:Ignition aka Key on
Red/Black low-----Brown:Acc2
------------------Black: Ground, wired it up to the bottom corner bolt for the metal panel.
Orange (Extra 12v): Not needed Aveo wire, likely to strengthen cold starts with thicker gauge because of automotive standards, might be possible to chain it with the Mid 12v power to have power come through to the system, basically just giving you double the gauge of wire for that portion of it although to really strengthen it you'd want to at-least extend it to the RFID box itself.
Brown Brake light wire--->Blue+White safe start line on the RFID system. Brown wire on RFID system states that it does nothing so I'm going to cut mine off.
Some opinions on it, specifically the way it starts when you hold the button down is quite nice you don't have to cycle through ACC1 and 2 it's a great feeling but they all 3 do come on when you do that. Additionally pressing the button 2-3 times to use various ACC attached things in the car feels better than turning a key or screwdriver it also seems like it could be more durable, provided the circuit board and RFID chip last. There's no grinding metal and the buttons internals look stronger than a official Sony Playstation controller so that means that the membrane will last a long time even when used excessively.
Negatives: The best way I could figure out to hook up the safe start was to the brake and not the clutch. If I could change it to the clutch it wouldn't change how a Manual Aveo works but now I have to hold the foot brake and clutch in during starting it so it's a little weird although I imagine some cars start like this anyway.
