I saw this picture posted by Dominion. It looks like a push start button that goes to the coin holder. If that's the case I want one. Can anyone help me out. Thanx Anthony

Lightbulb Not keyless.....

That is a pic of, as you say, the coin tray replacement Start button.

Only fits the Right Hand Drive model, sold in Japan, UK, Aussyville etc. Has a fairly complex wire harness that is plug&play for them, but has no connectors for the LHD models.

If you buy the set (lots of vendors sell it) you have to totally rewire it, and the coin mount doesn't fit on the left, only the curve of the dash on the LDM model; so you're left with one VERY expensive button!

However, many owners have successfully installed the Honda S2000 button, either in the lighter socket, or right in the dash.
See the DIY section for all the details.

Stealth did a great DIY on it that is not hard IF YOU F*CKIN READ!!! I would also recomend that you take the button apart and remove the little light shield thats over the light bulb in there. It matches the dash alot better this way.
