Yes. The electronics forr the start button is all the same and Toyota kept the same plug for the harness. Toyota is practical when it comes to things like this.

I'd love one that matches the aluminium of the Fsport dash - the LS option appears to be the closest

I've ordered from them before, part ships direct from Japan.

Even for $101.07 + shipping I don't think it's worth it.




I like this one more than the blue button. Does this one light up like the original?

I don't think the original lights up. At least on my 2013.

Just received my new start button. Install took literally less than 2 minutes. Used a plastic trim piece removal tool to pry our the trim surrounding the radio, disconnected wire harness from back of button then you just squeeze clips on the button to remove. New one pops right in. I like the new button much more than the old. Although I don't think the new button is metal, feels like plastic to me. I like the concave design of the new button and the glossy, smooth finish it has. The new definitely think it looks better and fits better with the interior.

It looks good but the original ain't bad either! U people just have too much money to burn! lol

Also that pic with the GSF steering wheel fooled me for a sec. I thought it was a GSF until I saw the boost and nav screen.. Hey wait a minute..

@Yoder You're right, that looks & fits in way better. This is becoming more and more tempting

Before


After


The oem one make a plastic clicking noise when you press it. The new one doesn't. It's a nice weighted press. I also like that its concave.
