    Confirmed- I disassembled my fob, pulled battery, and then started truck by placing it on the red button.
    This feature works if you swap em out.

    I was one of the first- no issues here.
    It's an OEM part, I'm certainly not expecting any problems.

    Was there enough room to work by just pulling back the pieces shown? Or did it require you to remove the upper main dash trim pieces (cluster surround, radio surround)?

    I just pulled the lower steering trim loose on the right side, and delicately pulled the trim the button sits in.

    No screws, just a plastic trim tool and 3 mins

    As advertised. Popped the lower right side dash trim under the steering column out two clips down. Gently pulled the flimsy HVAC surround from left to right. The electronic HVAC controls stay put. Not sure of manual ones. I used the tool provided with my Clazzio seat covers but would probably recommend an actual angled trim puller to avoid pressure marks and scratches as I made on the inside of the steering column piece. Now I need a red hazard button. IMG_1178.jpg IMG_1179.jpgIMG_1181.jpg

    Until I can convince myself to spend $150 on a red button... I am thinking of a red vinyl overlay @rrentrop maybe??

    Also When I had the dash apart for the vinyl wrap, I had a crazy idea with the button. Make an illuminated glow ring around the button perimeter. Red for off, yellow during ACC , and green when starts. The current backlights on the button are less than ideal....

    I just want it to help my finger find it better.
    Also, I tried swapping it into the 4WD selector position and switching them.(so it's closer to me and not hiddin next to the steering column.
    But that didn't work.

    Starts way better. Couldn't have expected a more functional waste of money.
