LOL yes you are. The car is starting perfectly with no problems now and made a difference changing the battery serial number. I just decided to buy that start button which the OEM one I had is boring looking.

I have the same wood trim. Next month's projects are; getting the spare Smart key cut and programmed, and a new start button.
Mine did the no start again yesterday, pushed and lights lit up. Waited for it to start. Then pushed stop and then start and it fired right up. Hope it is just a worn start button.

Looks great! Another thing to add to the list.

Did the purchase include both STOP and START buttons or just the START button?

They both come in one unit together. I think its a good interior miscellaneous upgrade.

My old start button still works excellent so I'll sell it to you if you really need it. Just pm me if you want to know more details about it.

I looked over my car on the way home. The ashtray has been replaced with the volume **** of the sub. There is no torqx head screw.
Do I just lift the trim off the MMI controls to get access the the start button?

Is it really a coincidence? I went to Lowe's got in hit the start button and nothing. Radio comes on, AC running but doesn't start. Hit the start button a few times and nothing. Stop shuts everything off, start did nothing. I tried using the key and nothing for a few tries. After waiting a few minutes the key was able to start it. Could it be the switch or something else? Possibly the battery? Battery meter is at 100%. What do you guys think? I didn't get a chance to VAG it

moving shifter around and repositioning foot on brake--might be an issue with the interlock system/switches. If it's the battery and you see anything else working, you usually get the stuff goes dim and/or starter clicks or makes some other noise type symptoms.

So they come in both silver and black?

Mine does not start. But a second push fires it right off. But the lights and things power the first time.
The time delay for the stereo is already off. So the second push sometimes puts a nasty pop through the stereo. I have lost a tweeter already.
This is why I hit stop. This resets the time delay and mutes the audio. There is a large Memphis Audio amp in the rear deck. Replaces the factory amp.
You may want to replace the battery in your key. They can do weird things once low.
