i am probably missing the boat on this but what is the purpose of the push button start when you still have to put your key in and turn it first? might be more useful if there was a remote way of initializing the start.

What's the point of remote start if you still have to unlock the doors, put the key in the ignition, and put the car in gear to drive it?[:'(] It's just the cool factor of it. To be able to just push a button and have that V8 come to life. It's a whole other experience.[8D]

The absolute best iteration of push button start is Mercedes' Keyless Go. I got to drive an E55 AMG that was equipped that way and, let me tell ya, it was near erotic! The button is mounted on top of the shift lever, so it was like firing a missle. And holding the stick while she fires is like giving yourself a tugjob. LOL!

I just thought of a brilliant idea! Instead of placing the starter button in the dash....If you have an automatic replace the overdrive button with the engine start button!
