Dual auto down power windows?

Push button start would be fairly easy to do. To really do it right would require a bunch of parts from one of the markets where it is available.

The problem is that for our USDM cars you would still need to stick the key in to unlock the steering. You could mechanically bypass the steering lock, but then you make your car a whole lot easier to steal. Also, the OEM system uses an RFID smart card (along the same lines as the key transponder). You'd really want to implement something like that to make the car less grabbable as well.

Hmm it looks like I might table this idea for a while then, at least until I get the SRS and now the windows completed.

Seems kinda silly to have push-button start if I still have to use the key to unlock the steering. And I'd hate to make my car more vulnerable to theft.
