Awesome tutorial!! Literally took less than 5 minutes!!Hi All,
There have been some issues that come up with the start button, which generate a keyless entry system fault on the dashboard display. To replace yours yourself, here's what you need:
Button 35881-T4N-702 (found online, for about $150)
Then, you'll need one of the "trim tools" that radio installers and others use, I found this one to be useful:

Then, disconnect the negative battery terminal wires (10mm wrench needed):

Now use the tool to insert between the start button panel and the lower dash panel to start to 'pry' it away from the dash. There are 4 clips, slowly work your way around the panel using the tool until you can grasp it and (gently) pull it free (you can see several of the white clips that hold it in place in the photo).

Now, detach the wire to the button, it also clips in. Here's a full shot of the panel backside showing all 4 clips that need to be nudged up and away from the dash.

Now, the old button is, again, just clipped to the panel. So, push those retaining plastic pieces back toward the button and slide it out:

Now, put the new one in (it only fits one way, it is keyed by a groove), and repeat the above in reverse. If all goes well, it takes less than 10 min.
Good luck!
