Pics of the Z8 Push Start

I was gonna add these two the other thread, but it seems that it turned into a discussion between Prez and Q. Like I said previously, this part if overpriced and more difficult to install than what Prez has, but it is a BMW oem part which is kinda cool. If you plan on doin the same, PM me, I have a few necessary tips...

Yup. I contemplated making it totally keyless, but IMO that is just asking to get your car jacked. The chances of some moron figuring it out is slim, but with my luck it would happen....

If somebody had a computer set up in their car, you could put a finger print scanner for it to read your print. Then it could activate both switches...... very james bondish.

or even something simple like a keypad... that would rule

seriously, how hard is it to do this?
is it easy to mess up and f up the electrical system?

[El Presidente]

its quite easy. the hardest part is actually mounting the button.

I have instructions in my sig, as well as a link to buy a kit like mine.

And Joey, if you have gone for the keyless thing, you know its not totally keyless on your car right? The cars with EWS have to have the kit in the cylinder, but you wouldn't have to turn it.
