Be clear on this.

Do you mean thumb print, or push button? Because they're 2 very different systems.

Push button sir

Push button sir

In that case bro, the answer is yes.

What car do you have, as in make, model and year?

Security wise.... How do you mitigate against unwanted entrants?

Security remains the same, as the key still needs to be utilised in unlocking the doors, and switching on the ignition.

Without the key, the vehicle can't be started, nor the steering wheel unlocked.

So the push start is only for starting the car? do i still need to turn the ignition on with the key before using the push start or i didnot understand your post?

I was assuming that if the key ignition can be changed to the push button type then it will come with the associated bluetooth key and all. Though the door will still need to be locked with a key except that it too can be changed to the bluetooth keyless entry type.

What's d point then.....it dosent make any sense to start with two hands. The point is to start ur car without using any key like the lexus and all....but if u still have to switch d engine on with a key bfor starting...then it's pointless.

thats what makes your car unique from the rest middle class car eg jaquar etc they all sometimes have start button that unique fron your standard toyota

just like car that has heated steering wheel

mnay people would find it cool starting a car by putting key on then press a button to start
Re: Is It Possible To Switch To Thumb Start Ignition by blackfm: 4:37pm On Dec 09, 2016
I've actually seen this in a 2005 corolla sport and the keyhole was replaced with a push to start button,no key anymore just the remote. The guys said he did it in ibadan
