Starter button

Has anyone installed a starter button? I was at my local dealer (So Bay MINI) yesterday and discovered this option I've not seen nor heard of before - about $250 + install.

I have seen a couple on this site. I don't know if anyone has the official one, but a few have the aftermarket types before the official one was offered. A search might bring up some install pics.
