KeyLess Go shift knob ?
Is it possible to get the needed wires through the shifter to install one of these ?

Or maybe an original SL shift knob with the Start/Stop button ?
Is it truely the same keyless system as the SL and so on ?
Thks.

I am not an expert on this, but I seriously doubt this will work on a car that does not already have Keyless Go.
I have Keyless Go on my 2010 and it is much more than just a small button that fits over the keyhole (although it has that, too). I believe that Keyless Go has sensors both inside the car and outside the car -- it knows when the key is inside the car vs. just right outside the car (I assume to prevent you from locking your keys in the car, which would allow any yokel to just jump in and drive). I assume that the keys themselves are different, as well, to allow the car to communicate with them.
The picture shows no sensors and you are not going to get all of that for $173.
