The new 06s have a credit card key with a push start button. How much do you think it would cost to upgrade the older model 8s to do this as well? Is it even possible???

 

anything is possible with the right $$$$$$$$$. I just dont think it would be worth it since there is a lot of things you would have to replace i.e. ignition switch/transmitter/reciever/door handles and probably more to make it work. I just dont think it would be worth the money. IMHO

 

take car in sign papers for a 06 give dealership old car. it will cost a whole lot. but would be cheaper than trying to retrofix a 04 or 05.....

beers

 

it would be cool if we could have a transmitter attached to the ignition. I don't care for the keyless entry, but the keyless start is cool.

 

I have a '06 EURO Model, but i dont have a credit card, but the new key with remote. plus have a new navigation system whit tmc and a new seats cover...

 

Thanks! I've been looking for a reason to trade up

 

Actually they don't have a push start button. Its just a plastic piece that goes into the ignition in place of a key.

 

Not all 06's have it in the us at least. I think its standard on shinka's and optoinal on the others.

 

ain't it in the grand touring package?

 

Yes, and I assume its on the Shinka because it has the GT package.

 

browning mazda said it'd cost around 2,000 to upgrade. i've already asked.....

 

but then the 05 owners will loose their cool flip keys.

 

lol... they can hand them down to the 04' guys...
