either way, you still have to use your key. with the start/stop button, you stick the key in the ignition and press the button to start the car. dumbest thing ever.

Everything can be done with enough money.

But the cost of a conversion would be very expensive, and I don't think anyone has actually tried it.

If you have comfort access, you leave the key in your pocket.

understood, and that's a great feature. from his question, doesn't seem like he's looking for that though.

Yes, so if you want to avoid using your key to start your car, you will have to not only get the starter button added but also convert to Comfort Access. I have no idea if it can be done (I would use this board's search function to see if there is a thread on it) but I would think that it would be quite costly. I'd stick with your key unless $$$ is no object.
