Rav4 2006 Start Button Replacement.

[Bullman]

Hi, I'm new to this forum, so "Hello everyone" and I hope this topic isn't cover elsewhere, if so, sorry.

I've been toying with the idea of replacing the OEM start button (black) £190 with a TRD start button (red). £131 inc shipping from States.

What I was wondering is:

Is this just a straight swap ie: take black one out, replace with the red.

Will the button affect the immobilser? The parts lad in Toyota wasn't sure.

Would the button require de/coding? Again the parts lad not sure, neither was the salesman.

Are the rear of the switches the same configuration?

Is there anyone on here attempted this swap and what was peoples reaction? I have coordinated red mats and seat belt pads and thought this might top it off.

Thanks in advance for any hints/tips/advice.
