No, but I've got a key. The two disadvantages of the key in my opinion is that when you go over rough tracks if bangs around a lot which makes noise and has resulted in scratches in the trimming around the key whole from the other keys and the other issue is the battery going flat, but that is still an issue with the 150.

Re: BUTTON START

So what stopping a kid sitting in the front seat pushing the starter button when the mum/dad at the rear of the car putting in the shopping?

Re: BUTTON START

Thought button start will only work if the key is in ignition and is turned on!!! So it aint matters if the kiddo keeps pressing the button and gets depressed!!!..lol

The length of their legs!! They need theclutch fully depressed or the brake fully pressed to be able to start the manual or auto respectivly.

It is a well thought out system.

And if you don't fully depress the clutch or the brake and press the button, it is basically swithching through ACC - ON - OFF.

When my key cracked, I replaced it with the flip out version that was mentioned in a thread here and is from an ebay seller. Since then, I have always had the Prado key by itself and house keys etc in a separate bunch. The good thing is that I only carry the car key with me when I'm out and no jingling of keys on the ignition trim. The bad news is that I sometimes forget the housekeys in the car and have to open the garage door, unlock the car, reach in to find the keys and then walk back to the front door (sometimes I forget to shut the garage door until I head out again the next morning but so far, nothing's been taken).

Re: BUTTON START

I used to have a 1977 Torana that I had to push start.

It gets a bit old.
