Push button start

Does anyone know of a way to rig up a push button start-- perhaps using an S2000 one? I've heard rumors of people doing it, but not sure what it would take.

there is a kit that lets you do it...looks exactly like s2000 unit, but comes with everything you need...

probably a dumb question, but does installing a start button disable the engine immobilizer?

I'm a little confused as to why this is a cool feature...since you still need to have the key in the ignition to start the car..

it give you that race car feeling, where the key is 30 pounds and needs 3 people to operate. And driver inside has to push the starter button, because the key could only be turned from the outside.

F-1 racing baby I still think it's more of a decoration than any functional item in the car. i think it'll be more of a hassle than anything else.
