Am I being unrealistic here? I'm trying to make this system work given the options I have. Every other car that has a push button start, you have to turn a **** for it to work and I don't want to have to go that route because at that point, what the difference between doing that and turning a key. I don't think it's too hard to have to press the brake to start it or turn it off. You don't slam your car into park while it's still moving, you come to a complete stop and then do it so you already have your foot on the brake. Same for when you start it. You have to push on the brake to put it in gear. I don't think that what I'm proposing is all that difficult to do.

Also, I'm working on limit switch setup to make sure the car will not start with it in gear. I can't post much about it right now as I haven't tested my approach but when I have it working, I will let everyone know. This is pretty much because I don't want someone suing me over putting their car into a tree or something.
