A start button would be cool if after opening the car with the keyless entry (which proves the owner is getting in), all you had to do was push the start button (and clutch for manuals).
That would be simple and cool. But if I you still have to use the key, I don't get it.
I guess people can't resist shinny red buttons.

As far as why it's cool - it just is; turn the key on and press the button to start...

Sorry to let you know I've checked with JapanParts.com about the Starter Button and the following was the verbatium reply:
"The part #091-010-005 Starter Button won't fit on LHD units.
Many Thanks,
TOKYO
GRAHAM MOTORS(JAPANPARTS.COM)
Kanako"
If enough interest is shown they may be prompted to come out with a Starter Button which will fit the the US LHD RX8s. So EM them an express your interest so that they'll know there will be a US market for this accessory.
As an aside, I ordered 2 other parts from them. The EM's from them were prompt and straight forward with all cost for set forth in the EM to the Yen. The shipping time which was estiamted to take 13-15 business days, only took 7 and all parts were properly packed to miminize the change of damge in transit. Keep in mind all instructions are written in Japaneses, however, the nature of the parts they sale shouldn't pose any problem to us Japanes illiterate readers.

On a sort of related note, the new caddy XLR is supposed to unlock doors etc. by proximity, just have the keyfob in your pocket, I think that would go nicely with a start button.

Geez - I don't think us Aussies would pass pre-qualification for RX-8 Forum membership if we mentioned we might use a car wash!
Cheers,
