STI Push Button Start - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I like all the extras that the BRZ gets over Scion, but I'm too loyal to Scion to buy a Suburu. I have the FR-S, super happy with it.....I just wish that I could get seat warmers and push start......oh well...

I feel you brother, I'm the same way about Subaru. All the extras were just a bonus for me.

Would love to see a DIY with pictures...

Tried to put up the service directions but they red x'd. When I get the time I'll try and snap some pics of the procedure.

I'm in Canada and have a Sport-tech and it works just fine. My guess is that it would work on all NA BRZ's limited/sport-tech as long as they came from the factory with a pushbutton start its swap-able.

Installation took about 2 minutes. There really is no need for pictures. I just grabbed the pocket by the USB blank (canada has this in the glovebox) and gave a quick pull and the entire panel comes out. Swap out button and reinstall. No tapeing or anything, no marks to any interior panels

LOL @ FRS guys wanting to retrofit so much BRZ stuff into their cars. Makes me laugh. Anything is doable though for you guys... This isn't just a simple wiring job and adding a button it requires the keyless entry fob and proximity sensor system for the rest of the components as well.

I installed this today....very easy, looks & works great.

thermobox · 08-18-2012, 04:28 PM

I still giggle like a little school girl when it lights up.

DaJo · 08-18-2012, 04:54 PM

It definitely gives the centre console a much more aggressive look instead of the plain black OEMs; Plus it matches the red interior switchings quite nicely... Maybe I'll buy one of these things when the price lowers down...

Damn, the STI start button for the BRZ is pretty snazzy.

tripjammer · 10-18-2012, 05:26 PM

Damn I really want one of these!

Blake · 10-19-2012, 01:44 PM

Can this be installed on the FR-S??

Installed - Yes.

Make functional - Prolly more work/money than it's worth.

I would assume the aftermarket would have a better solution than OE for the money.

Make sure that you request the BRZ version - #20 ZC6. Many, including me ordered the Impreza STi version.
