I just went through his site and I couldn't find them. Am I blind? Do you have a direct link? Thanks.

 

Heej, I recognise this picture! Its of Dutch member here on this site.
He studies on the same school as I (yes, we 're both Dutch) and I've drove with his MINI. That button is very cool. It isn't possible anymore to start with the key, I think that is very good. You 've to turn the key one 'click' and then put on the button.

I'll tell him of this topic so he can explain something more of his MINI.

 

Aston Martins have them in .

 

call him up (Peter) - he showed me one just two weeks ago.

 

Other cars that have them are the Mercedes S-Class and the McLaren SLR. The buttons on those cars are on the top of the gear lever. My mom's Acura RL has a key fob, but the ignition is just a **** that you turn. To unlock the car, you just touch the back of the handle

 

So how much is this??

 

Theres a really nice kit on ebay that uses the S2k button, comes with a plug that matches the s2k factory one on the button itself and a relay and some wire for like $60 bucks.

 

The Honda S2000 has a engine start button and you do have to put they key in and turn it "one click".

 

 

I bought it for $198.75 from morristown, cheapest I'v ever seen

Classic just quoted me $212, but that was before the NAM discount...

 

$212 for what? EBA 0403361? And then you probably will have to have it painted to match your dash?

 

What did you get? This?

 

So, its part number [FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=2]61130405113[/SIZE][/FONT]

 

D&R keeps telling me that the part has been discontinued. But if you guys are finding out otherwise.... I am still interested.

 

They said they could have it to me in 3 weeks from europe.

I was going to geet it, but i need a new windshield :( I hate rocks :(

 

Appearantly, this is a dealor accessory as Keram Mini in Maastricht will put one on my new Mini. Unfortunately, no discounts, so it'll be ~$215 for parts and another ~$105 for an hours installation (converting from Euros). Can anyone definitely say that the position 3 of the ignition switch is disabled, co-enabled or what? Will position 2 work still. Cheers!

 

The ignition works the same except it will not start the car. You insert the key same as normal, then press the button.

 

i am interestd to get one also. where?...

van

 

classic sells them

 

How about something like this in the center toggle position?



That'd be kinda cool (IF someone could make it work).

 

It would look out of place. The nice thing about the OEM button is the "factory" apperance.

 

Someone on this thread, or a related one, said they'd like to see an engine start button in the top of the shift ****, under a cover. Well I saw them today at Pepboys. $30, Pilot Motorsports or something. Don't like the style at all, they look like a cheap "piston" style shifter. Not that bad, but way too tall for a MINI. They did have a lid on the top that flipped up to reveal an engine start button!

 

yep... the same...
but you have to be careful, coz. there are 3 color options(3 diff.part numbers) here they are;

(01)STARTER BUTTON 'ALU PATINA'............61130403350
(02)STARTER BUTTON 'WHITE SILVER'.......61130405111
(03)STARTER BUTTON 'ANTHRACITE'............61130405113

PS: they are not the button colors, but dash board center pcs colors.

Does anyone know if you can get the S2000 kits sold on eBay to work without too much work?
