Anyone install a keyless push start button? Just wondering if these are any good?

After the whole toyota thing where the people couldn't turn the car off i am hesitant to do something like this but it is pretty cool thing to have. Anyone try it? Thanks.

The Toyota problems were mostly DFU (dumb ... user). Push button start systems will not shut off while in gear (or moving, depending on manufacturer) unless you push and hold the start/stop button. This is to prevent accidentally shutting off the car while driving. People who claimed they couldn't turn off the car were merely using a quick push of the button as they would when parked.
^ I wouldn't put that much faith into cheap electronics on ebay, especially something that could leave you stranded very easily.
I've seen guys do a push button start on these cars that works like the Honda S2000. You still have to put the key in and turn it, but you push a big red button to turn the starter motor.

Ok thanks guys. Yeah putting that much faith in something that critical and it being made in china from ebay is a bit of a gamble. Wonder if there are any good quality brands available. The S2000 version seems cool but having to put the key in kinda defeats the purpose and loses most of the cool factor. Hehe.
