Default Push Button start

Hey I am looking to get and install a push button start on my mustang. I want to put it on the center console where the 12v power charger is. I was wondering if anyone knew where i could get one and if anyone had a tutorial on how to install it and hook it up. I know FAZM has one and i like the way it looks on his.
Thanx

That looks cool, but I've wondered how these aftermarket buttons work, do you still insert the key into the ignition and turn it, then hit the button? The factory versions I've seen all have the card-like key that you insert into a slot on the dash, then you hit the button.

Yep, you still have to turn the ignition on with the key.

thanx guys. those were exactly what i was looking for. ya to answer your question you still have to put the key in and turn it to the a/c electricity turn on. and then push the button. u have to splice the wire into the ignition. so instead of turning the key all the way to crank the engine. u put it on the electricity turn on and then press the button and it turns the motor over. Its very cool to show off 2 passangers and chix that come ridin in the stang. I know my parents 06 bmw 325i u just put the key in and press the button w/ out turning the key at all. but thats because it has a chip in the key so the car knows thats the right key.

i just got an s2000 button, and used a 5 wire cable from my computer (from the cd aux audio to the board) and used 3 of the wires, since it plugged right into the bacck of the connecter. Then spliced the other ends into where they needed to go.
