Mondeo start engine button

I'll check this weekend with the local Ford dealer, maybe it can be adapted for the Mustang. If yes, I'll pick up or order one. Fingers crossed!

Not trying to be flame-bait here, but I wonder what is the point?

You lose your 12v dashboard power and you add an extra step to starting your car. (key to ON then pushing the start button)

It's a bit of extra bling I guess but seems to me to be a major PITA for little benefit. (flame retardant suit on and ready)

Same purpose as any other appearance type mod.

If wired in correctly, the car will start with both the button and key, so it's not an extra step unless you want to. It looks a lot better than the hole in your dash, or an ugly plug. Plus, it's functional, so it's not pure bling.

...and so do school buses.

Not picking on anyone but this seems (TO ME) to be a pointless mod.

Pointless? How can a pointless mod be a sticky?

In all fairness, it serves (to me) more purpose than the GT/CS side scoops. The button is an appearance mod with the option of actually doing something physical (starting the car).

Besides, when people see it there's a 'wow' factor, and chicks love to push the button.

I don't care if anyone thinks it's useless, this button looks so good I'd even install it without making it functional. But I will find out more on how to make it work next month, when the local dealership receives their first Mondeos.
More in a couple of weeks.

Thats cool, but I think I like the other buttons better, although they would be better if they lit up like this one appears to.
