I've looked into all those kits before...and the problem I was finding was people saying that even with those kits you still had to put your key in and turn to the on position because the kit did not have a way to disengage the steering wheel lock. Anybody have any info on this??

Yes, wont disengage the steering wheel lock.
And there is no power to the start switch or ignition without
the key being turned tyo run.
Its a simple switch set-up. Not intergrated at all.
An add on oxy moron. Get it?

To each thier own, but I can think of LOTS of stuff I could spend $400-600 on. My key has been 100% reliable, and I assume it will be in the future too.

Don't have that problem. However I do have to push the clutch in to put it in gear.

Funny, Mine requires you to depress the clutch fully to the floor before the
starter will turn over from a starter request from the key...
Never noticed the 'must be depressed' to be put into gear before...
