Lost In Xanadu Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Seems like more and more cars are going to the push button... My wife's car is a traditional key crank. A coworker has a Jaguar that is a traditional key, but it really doesn't "crank" - it just activates the ignition switch. Another coworker has a BMW and he needs to put a key in and then press a start button. With my car, I don't even need to take my keys out of my pocket, it senses the fob and I can start with a button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeOhBe Bob Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 We own Dodge ram n Durango here. Tried to talk Diane into a remote start for when we have a couple feet of snow. Her reply? That's when YOU come in real handy Bob. Thanks. A lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILSnwdog Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I have a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT and a 2008 Chevy Tahoe. Both have a regular key, but have remote start. My father in law has a Caddy SRX, and he just has to have the fob in his pocket and push the button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkt2112 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Just picked up a new Chrysler 300C - fob and push button. Never had a push button before. The remote start feature is cool too. Especially during the brutal So Cal winters!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushfanforever! Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 With my 2010 BMW X5, I can just leave the fob in my purse and push the button. However, with our older 2003 model, you need to insert the key into the ignition. So on the odd occasion when I have to drive "hubby's car, I get in and I'm like "what the hell?" (Not used to driving my old car anymore....so sad...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animate Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) My truck- a Ram 3500 dually, has a fob and push button. Had another truck with a remote start but I hated it because it always seemed to be sitting there just running. Used to have a MG Midget though, that had to be parked facing down an incline because usually the only way to start it was to get it rolling and then to pop the clutch. That was a fun car!

drbirdsong Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Gotta kick it on and then turn the key. Or maybe you turn the key and then kick it. I can't remember. http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/drbirdsong/AutoBike.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
