Hi,
Starter Buttons are just the Flavor of the Month right now what with the S2000 and all, and if you like them, that's OK.
To me, the ignition system (read Switch) on the Boxster has trouble enough without adding another dimension to it. I'm not knocking boggtown at all, in fact, I think he did a good job of thinking it through and implementing it. It's just not something which would interest me. Good Luck with it though...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Maybe it would help make you feel better after wrestling with the ignition switch if you had a little red button labeled "Easy"? Lord knows I've been at the point of cursing and could've used such a button to calm me down...

its not really the flavour of the month, its been in car magazines for over 10 years. i remember when i had my old honda, i was going to put one in there. if anything its a honda flavour, not something new, not something people are just jumping on now.
i just took a spin in my cousins new 07 bmw, and he had a start button. so cool. its actually new for bmw, about time they caught up.

Ya, its just for looks, but the girls sure do like starting my car from their seat. All you do is tap into the yellow wire and the red/white wire from the ignition (look at ignition replacement instructions on here). There are like 3 red/white wires but I think they all work.

What happens if they tap it while you're driving?

That is a great innovation from the 1940s.

Hi,
Earlier than that. My very 1st car was a 1939 Ford Coupe. It had a starter button on the floor. Switch on the ignition with the key, depress the clutch, and then press the starter button with your foot to engage the starter motor...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Old is new again.. my 1949 Hudson convertible had a push button starter as did many others up and including 1953.
But hey if you think they are cool go for it.
Seems to be an answer to a question nobody asked.
