PROJECT: "PRESS START TO BEGIN"

I know lots of people have fitted an engine start button to an S1 Elise in the empty slot of the switch array (get them from www.eliseparts.com).

I want to fit a Honda S2000 start button to my Mk2 Elise. Has anyone ever tried this?

A Honda service centre will sell me an S2000 start button for just over £20.

The two problems I can forsee:
1) Where to house the button - there are no spare slots on the mk2.
2) Wiring in the button. Anyone know how difficult this is?

I'm assuming that if the button simply "piggy-backs" of the current ignition wires everything will still be immobilised until you turn diarm and turn the key to point II.

I've heard that some mk1 owners have disabled ignition-by-key. can anyone shed any light on this? I think it would be nice to have both, though; ignite by key if you are in a rush or use the button to show off!!!!
