I got the Zoom Eng one, which plugs into the switch blank next to the dashlight dimmer.

I got it when i was in USA earlier this year. I ordered it off of ebay for only $30us. I heard they are about $130+ here..

Here is the link to his ebay store, you could ask him if he will post the button here to Australia...

Hi Green Comet,
How easy is it to install the starter button that you got? I have got myself a 94 clubman, so it should be the same setup... Also, would it slot into the cigarette hole? And is it illuminated?
Cheers,
Hamish

do these make it so the key no longer starts the motor or do they just kinda add a place that you can start the motor?...

like if you in stall one can you still start the motor with the key or do you HAVE to turn the key to on then push the button?

think id rather it need to be used if i installed it :?

Mine is configured that the key needs to be switched to on, the start button then illuminates you press it and the engine starts, and then the illumination goes off.

To turn the car off you just turn the key to off as per normal :mrgreen:

(combine this with the ~30 second auto arm of the immobiliser and watching someone unfamiliar with the car try to start it is a good laugh :mrgreen: )

It was pretty easy to do, there are heaps of guides on the net. I dont know if it will slot into the cigarette hole, but im sure it can be fitter there. The actual red button dosent light up, but the engine start writing lights up green, when your keys are in the on position, then turns out once the car is started.. its a pretty simple install, you should try it.

Sorry i took soo long to answer, I upgraded to Vista Ultimate, so was offline for a couple days.

Thankis for the replies guys, still tossing up which one to go for. Think the S2000 one will be a nicer button though, so will probably get that one.
