Installed the Red button when adding the iSimple iPod Gateway to the Bose Stereo, took no time at all. Looks amazing, and really helps to accent the red interior or the 40th Anniversary!!

I'm sorry guys for the noob question that follows, this is my first car and first time even attempting to do any sort of mod by myself so I ask: Do you have to disconnect the battery before doing so?

just finished the install. Thanks Trips for the writeup/pics

i have heard you can install the starter buttons on a 07-08 350z but it takes a 170 buck wiring harness to do it. Not really sure on this, just what my buddy told me when he asked if he could have my old button.....

I did this install last Saturday. Thanks for the awesome DIY, Triple's!!!

And I think this button looks better in person than in pictures.

Does anyone know if this part is compatible with the 2011 model? I would really like install it if it is! I searched the forum but can't seem to find any info.. Also, if it is are there any warrantee issues to be concerned about?

It's compatible and if the switch fails you have the original to replace it with? warranty won't cover it since it's not the original part for that model. Have at it

I just put one in my 2011 yesterday, works like a charm and looks awesome!
