Guys I placed an order today to fit the RS4 starter button and cig lighter and associated assembley into my S4. It looks like a straight swap - albeit with some wiring. has anyone done this before? If not I'll post some pics when done.

Nice one, should make for a neat mod.

this could be a nice touch, will keep my eye's posted for your pick's and a 'how too guide '

Hows this work then, put your keys in as normal, then get the passenger to press the button

I see, just making a mental note not to go in one of yours or Robs car

Ejector seat.....now where can we pick up a used variant...? I feel an excellent mod coming on for when the Mrs moans too much.

Been looking for a polite way of phrasing it but haven't managed it :

Why do it?

I cant see the point in doing unless you dont have to use the key, it is your toy though so skys the limit.

I have lost my ciggy lighter and a new one is £46 odd, the complete RS4 starter is only just over £100. I also feel the ciggy lighter is in a strange position and very much of an afterthought. The little cubby hole beside it if useless and my phone doesn't fit in it...personal taste I suppose.

I say go for it Rob, personally I love pressing the button on mine and my boy also loves it.

The wife like so many above think it is a complete waste of time. TBH though I enjoyed lying on my back pulling the car apart and doing the wiring. I even enjoyed ripping out the old lighter and making the start button (in this case, a Honda one) work.

Each to there own, I say go on son.

Heres a picture of mine.

BTW I have piano black inserts, hence the shiny black look

I almost got a honda one but they said it could not be illuminated?

How was the wiring to do?

A bit of a pain really but not too hard. The pain was lying on my back with the sill neatly placed half way through my spine. I got instructions with mine as I bought it from fleabay as a kit. I just used the clips to spur into the wires as I did not fancy cutting some of the main ignition wires. The hardest part was getting the actually start button to look good where the old ligther was. I initially wanted it to spin around, like the liughter socket did, alkthough it was to long so I just installed it fixed in place.

Good luck

Now that would have been cool....
