anybody install a push button start

I was l9oking at autoloc push button start kit and was wondering if anybody had any luck with them. They seem to have a kit that will wire into your doors to auto unlock when the fob is near and a simple push button for the ignition. Its just like most newer keyless set ups. I just think it would be nice to update my mini to the new age of keyless opersrion ; )

Honestly, it sounds more like a plan to make it easier to get it stolen. Just like a remote starter, you are bypassing the anti-theft system to start the car. Not only that, but I'm pretty sure you still have to insert the key to unlock the steering as it's a mechanical lock. On cars that comes from factory with push buttons, the steering gets unlocked automatically when you put in on acc or start the car.
