My mother is 70 years old and has rheumatoid arthritis really bad in her hands. It is a tremendous problem for her to start her vehicle. Whenever she parks her vehicle she makes sure the steering wheel has the large opening next to the key switch so she can put 1 arm through the steering wheel and be able to grab the key switch with both hands. It is becoming more frequent that 2 hands, at least her 2 hands are not enough and has to ask a stranger to start her vehicle for her at the bank, grocery store, etc. Her vehicle didn't come with remote start, but I was thinking that might be a solution for her. My question is that after she starts the vehicle doesn't she still have to put the key in the ignition and still would have the same problem of having to turn it. Is there a way to make her ignition like the new vehicles that don't have a key switch, just a button. Something to that effect would be ideal. If someone could point me in the right direction my mother and I would be most appreciative. Thanks for any input and help and your time. Mitch
