Somebody looking for push button start mod?

On eBay Canada: link

Don't know anything about this other than it allegedly fits the 2008 fortwo. Proceed at your own risk.

"Q. Will I still need my key to start the car?
A. NO, This Push Button Engine Start system is one of the few on the market that allows for either/or. That means you can install this kit on your Smart Fortwo with the option of starting your car with our without your key."

For those choosing the "no key" option, please post here so the "midnight auto supply" folks can go pick up your car.

on a related note, the new Dodge Challenger has a 'push button' start where no key is needed. they use a "Fobik" Key and MUST BE IN THE CAR for it to start. so you can leave it in your pocket and still start the car OR have the 'button' removed and just use the key normally. doesn't look like a normal key however. all electronic. if you chose to use it, just insert the "Fobik" into the ignition slot and turn like you would a regular key.

maybe smart should come up with something like this, ya think? THAT would be SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This would work in a 451 IF you had the key in the ignition.

The 451 has a more normal immobiliser. The ignition surround has a small aerial underneath it that reads the info off the key and turns off the immobiliser.
Not sure on the sensor distance but it's not usually much.
