Default it's pretty easy. i've installed the "ignite" button on my old car...

...however if you do want to do this i'd recommend you use the S2k button or maybe the bmw button. the quality is much better and looks more oem then the glowing ignite button. it's pretty much just rewiring. you will also still need your key to drive the car. it's really not necessary, but if you want it, nothing's stopping you.

Default On a scale of 1-10.. how hard is it to do?

Ive found webistes on how to do it to bimmers and other hondas and heard people saying they took there, bmw's,benz's, hondas to the honda dealer to get it done.. or should I do it myself?

Default It should be straight forward.

Install button that just sends power thru it or a relay to the starter wire at the ignition switch. So all you do is turn the key to the on position and then hit the start button.
