That does sound appealing, however the cost will be up there. It all depends on if the ignition starting system is integrated into the main ECU or a stand alone setup. A wiring diagram of an IS would be needed to proceed further.

a button that u push to start the car is cheap rice boys got them for like $20 bucks, u just wire it into the ignition. In fact I have a friend who has his push button starter hooked directly to his ignition to where he doesnt even need to put in his key LOL.

True, but I would want something a bit more elaborate the same as the factory system which has the Lexus keys ,security and all. Something to look into in the future. Lee

SC430uk, I guess anything can be had for the right amount. We will see.

thats the whole fun about it, fitting something in the car and making it work like the original thing. No point making life easy, then it wont be worth having

Im currently looking into doing it for my SC300. I just put in a 96 5speed transmission setup from a Supra and I realized I was going to have to use a push start to trigger my starter in order to bypass the Neutral start. I was wondering if there are any other Lexus vehicles that came with this push start feature besides the IS? Im looking for some Lexus buttons.

why dont u wire the key to close the neutral safety switch and then wire the button to start the car? i think that would be pimp, the new gs has push button start
