Yep, have had this issue but only once.

Ignition was ok with accessories all going but on pushing start there was no action from the starter motor a all. Tried the electronic key fob next to start button as recommended (assume this is for flat fob battery only) and still nothing.

Tried spare electronic fob. Gave up, tried 5 minutes later and it worked. Have not had the problem since.

It was like the immobiliser was engaging.

My HKS OB-LINK displayed error code P1604. Google showed this was "startability".

Has never happened again and dealer said no error codes were showing when I took it in for something else about a month later.

As I said, I think it was the immobiliser kicking in for some reason.
