WTB: Red Start/Stop Button

[Freddo]

Is there any way i can get a red start/stop button for my pres?

If you are willing to fork out a bit of money, you can buy one from here. You will be looking at USD$184.88:

Alternatively, just stop over at you local Toyota spare parts department and inquire on how much one will cost from them. Just ask them to bring up the parts database for the TRD Aurion 3500SL since that has the red push button as well.

If you want to do it cheaply but properly, remove the button assembly, pull it apart so you have the surface of the button separated, and paint it appropriately.

These switches cost a lot because they have RFID components inside and are more than a simple switch. Still more expensive than what they should be, but that's mark-up for ya.

SX6... no can do (cheaply). This is what you would need:

1) The control ECU for the Smart Entry,

2) Receiver for the ECU (mounted on C-Pillar, and different to the standard one),

3) The push button switch,

4) New drivers side door handle,

5) New steering column (as it has a motorised lock assembly and no key tumbler)

6) At least one Smart Entry transponder key.

Don't ask me how much that will all cost. My best guess would be that you won't want to know.

Visit the link that DJKOR provided and thats all you need to get as you already have the engine stop start button fitted as standard...

I did. Cost $280 just for the button Inc the switch. I just want the button skin.
