You don't need to leave the key in the ignition. There are very complex keyless entry systems that remove the use of a key all together. The doors unlock as you approach the car and you just use the push button starter while having the key fob in your pocket or where ever you have it. To have that type of system installed is well beyond what 99% of people are willing to pay though

I have a push start button in my Roadster. However, I still have to put the key in, turn it to "ON" and then push the button. It's a bit pointless since I still need the key. (The previous owner installed it.) Then again, it mimics a lot of vintage automobile starting sequences and since my Roadster is built around a vintage theme it suits it.

Does anyone k ow if there is a security stem or keyless system that allows yiu to still roll up and down all of the windows remotely. I don't have the button key fob and to replace I need to reflash the ecu so I have thought about just putting all that money towards an aftermarket system. I really like the windows activating remotely though

Ohhh trust me... When I had my 3GS, I normally always had it clipped to my belt loop or in my backpack but every once in a while, I would accidentally leave it in the car or close the trunk on it.

hmm. I would expect it to be the same price as any other alarm system, but you have to think about taking out the key area, drilling a hole to install the push to start, and taking out the steering wheel lock/motor so it won't lock on you. I would like to know this too if it's any extra additional cost! (I`m sure each place is different as well)

That's what I'm aware of and all, but the one used in the video is a thick looking remote... definitely not Lexus SmartKey sized which is fairly close to a Credit card
I doubt its that much work. I've stripped a couple of GS' myself and the entire steering shaft isn't that hard. If I recall, the key cylinder is attached with one 10mm bolts on the overall assy. Fairly easy to access as well. Lock motor shouldn't have to be removed.
