Default Push Button Start

I got a question about this push button start thingy. Doesn't it make it easier to steal the car? I mean does it have any safety features?

you still have to put the key in the ignition for it to work.

Sooo let me get this straight. You still have to use the key? Hell, with a little turn of the wrist on mine it starts up too. I guess it's kind of a novelty thing, still kinda cool though.

Yeah it's completely just for looks...kinda of a "hey look at me" deal. I like it though, 95% of the time though I still start with just the key. Only use the button to show off lol

i was thinking about doing a push button start, did you install it yourself, and if so how difficult?

yeah I did it myself. The worst part was getting off the trim and dash pieces you need off. Still it was really pretty easy. I've got some step by step directions with pics I can post if you decide to do it.
