Hi Guys,
Sorry I'm bumping this thread again, I just had an idea and wondering if any of you had done it. And if so how.
I know most of us have heard of a finger print scanner used in computers, which logs you in to a system after matching the finger prints. I was wondering if something like that can be done to start a car, like you get in the car, no keys, you put your finger over the scanner, it scans, your car starts. Just an idea, would look cool i think.

Whoa now Mr. Bond, Interpol called and they want their 00 agent back!
Haha jk, but really I don't think it would work, at least not without a looooot of $ and resources.

LOL 
I just read a post of it being done on an Audi A6, in 2004, but that one needed a key to put it in ignition and then scan your finger and the car starts, I hopefully would think that technology would have grown since then, where you will not need a key, but thats just hoping. Also a kit is available but I dont know the cost of it.
well sorry here it is,

Very interesting, however, if I ever did this I would probably disassemble the scanner and mold it into one of the interior panels somewhere.............pretty cool to say the least, but I can't say I'd ever do it. My to do list for my car is long enough as it is.

I have a fingerprint scanner on my computer, and honestly I wouldn't put that on my car. It's not reliable enough. Every once in a while it won't detect my finger correctly, and it usually takes a couple of tries. Also, imagine if you sliced your finger open, or got like a burn on it... then suddenly you can't start your car?

^Smart thinkin lol. I think I'd rather have voice recognition, where I'd loudly say my catchphrase in a certain tone, and the car would start right up.
Til I got laryngitis.

Niiiice!
But yeah I've used voice recognition on my computer... and sometimes that can take a while to go through too. Hows about... we use keys in our ignition, with MICROCHIPS so that it has to be our key.... oh wait....
