Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I also wired up a power outlet light trim to give it a oem look.
You still have to put key in and turn to deactivate steering lock/immobilizer.
This is specifically for the 996/986, but Im working on the 997 as well.
If all you have to do it get in the car and push the button like many modern cars have with the smart key fobs than it's great! otherwise, I 'm fine with starting my 911 the old fashioned way with my left hand
Yeah, after I got my 996, it took me a while to get used to inserting the key on the left side, but after a while I realized that I had become

Nice mod by the way, tastefully done.
Actually It was 3 steps...
1) insert key

3) turn key

If you look at my post on 6speed, you'll see that I did this mod the cover the wiper switch hole after I installed the rain sensor. I think its better to put a start button, than another power outlet (useless since I don't smoke or plug anything there) or just a ugly cap.
Personally, I would never start a manual car without pushing in the clutch. Sorry, this mod seems pointless to me but what matters is that you like it.
I think it looks pretty spiffy!! And a rain sensor sounds also pretty good...problem is when it rains where I live SOCAL I don't drive the P-car. love the push button idea... think that I am too lazy to install.
