Default start button retro fit. who's gonna try it?
Can it be done? I would rather not have cup holders.

Default I would love to...question though...what function
does the key play? do you still need to put the key in, or is it similar to the newer 'smart' keys where all you have to di is have it in your pocket?

isn't it kinda weak to begin with? you have to have the key in, then push start.

You would need to replace the entire center console to a euro one or a B6 one to retro fit it.

Insert key, turn, then press button to start.

Default it's not even a true keyless system. in fact, the button adds an extra step...
kinda stupid if you ask me... and def not worth the update.

In that case, it is not worth it. I like the new smart keys in mercs and the new BMW's

Audi has it too, though. Both the Q7 and A8 (A6 too I think) have it
