Isn't helped that we have funny admin guys who when you go and complain that your scan doesn't work anymore they ask "Have you changed hands recently"

This option has got to be thrown around development groups! Nice mod!

I wouldn't mind that...if they just had a better place to mount it. I think it looks kinda ugly o_0
but the idea of it is badass.

Curious....what do you do when you take it in for service? LoL

but as its "engine start" it needs to be compleatly accessable, hiding it would make it the same as hiding your engine start button or key slot??
but you can mount it on the dash some where or inside the centre consol glove box? anywhere rearly.

you can program it so if your cars being worked on, it will start as normal but can only be driven 1 mile....enough for a service.
