hey has anyone heard of a kit for our cars that replaces the power point in our dash for an engine start button???? Sounds Pretty Cool HUH....

cool but stupid .you still have to insert the key into the ignition turn it to accesory and then push the button
it only replaces turning and holding the key for ignition

depends on how u wire it

nope. based on security the car wont work without the key in it. our keys have a little chip in them so even if someone made a copy of the key (metal part) it wouldn't work.

+1. I suppose you could set it up so it would function like a remote car starter, and would start the car without using the key, but to move anywhere, you would still have to put it and engage the key, so it doesn't really serve a purpose.

Besides, would you actually want a system where all it took was the push of a button to start and drive your car? Anyone could just punch in the window, hop in, push the button, and off they go. That would kind of suck. Our keys with the computer chips make these Mustangs harder to steal, which I would say is a nice feature.

its just for looks. but your lock cylinder will last longer, since you arent giving it all that abuse.

Yeah, it's something of a novelty, it's a cool wow factor though, people always comment on it when riding in my car and want to push the button themselves

I ordered the "ignited" brand button from stylinconcepts.com and then wired it up. Your's is the S2000 button isn't it? I kind of wish I had gone that route, but I do like the blue of mine

The button was around 40 bucks, and then I used wire I had laying around anyways
