Just wondering if anyone had this for our cars 98-05 models... I saw them on a website yesterday that i was brousing called Optionsautosalon.com. They had them for other vehicles mostly universal ones... I thought what a great mod to do...I'm sure its more complicated than it sounds with fiment, wires, etc..... just curious

 

seriously, i would just trade in my car and get the new gs

 

That's right!

 

Well, It was just a thought lol.. At least i could pretend I have te new GS

 

I am sure with enough $ and ingenuity, you can rig something up with the remote start systems. You have ones like the Vipers or even the one from LMW. It just will be a VERY short range remote.

 

hahaha, ok, seriously, i have sen those modules before. to fit it in i think it's not that hard. probably they can just take out your key hole assembly and put the push button there

i am not very sure about all the wiring and stuff though

 

what about this from Club Aristo? translater?

Thanks Chuckb....It looks like its being done in Japan... But couldn't read anything on that website except V300 I'm really surprised that no one has done this yet?

I think this would be a cool mod but in the end it may be more trouble than its worth. Looks like it can be done from the pics chuck posted

 

Its not to hard to do. the only thing you lose is the cigarette lighter. The install takes about 2 hours. Im no sure how you do it, but Autoloc sells them. like $150. I would do it, but its not the style im going for, plus i need the power outlet for my radar detector.

 

how lazy can lexus make us with push putton car starters......

They already call us americans LAZY!

 

Ummmm....why? Wont this make it easier for the car thieves to steal your car?

 

on the current one, yes, probably you need to have your key hidden somewhere

 

Rice.....get the third GEN instead....

 

the push button starters dont replace the key, they work in tandem with it. you still have the Key for the car and still need it to start, but instead of turning the key, you just push the button while the key is in the ignition. From what i understand, you are bypassing the Key start feature and making it a requirement for it to start by pushing the button. Its not like the New GS setup where the button starts the car, you still need the key in the ignition to start the car.
