I bought the red engine start button and I love it. Back light works awesome! I have the Oyster Leather interior

That link goes to an auction for the red button for $16.99 if anyone is interested. It did for me at least.

Anyone thought about the autostart button in red as well? For some reason, having one and not the other doesn't sit right for me.

Nope, never. Personally, I don't think it would look good, nor does it make much sense to me. Having the ignition button bright red and prominent is cool imo (and is being done by BMW as oem on the M2 competition and M5). The auto start stop button in red I think would detract from the look. The aforementioned M cars do not have red auto s/s buttons.

Anyone else notice that you really never notice the button since it's mostly hidden behind the steering wheel at normal position?

I took this picture recently and had to deliberately angle the steering wheel just to get the button in view. How sporty it looks, and it sucks its not visible more easily.

This is an easy install... no need to disconnect battery or even get out the trim tools. Took longer to record this than it did to do the mod.
