Anyone know anything about this?: http://www.advancedkeys.com/Prod_AK105B.html

Can I use it to replace my mechanical ignition with a keyless system?

---

Background:

Talked to an A/V / Alarm installer today about trying to replace my mechanical (key-required) ignition with a keyless start system. Said he didn't sell that, and thought it might require a factory ignition replacement, which probably doesn't exist.

Things he mentioned:

Your mechanical ignition also locks the steering wheel
Your mechanical ignition controlls OFF/ACC/RUN/START modes


Anyone ever replace their mechanical ignition in a 2008 Yaris with a keyless one? I'm talking about key fob in the pocket, never have to take it out to start the car - just a proximity sensor, etc.

I live in a flat place (Chicago). Willing to remove the steering wheel locking mechanism if necessary. Trying to find options.
