Yea, there have been plenty of people on another forum board that have done it. Some are even using a factory Ford GT start button for their project.

99saleen351r...
For those moments when you stall your car trying to beat that GTO, and your in a turn, and don't want to reach down and use your key to re-start the car. You just reach over and pop the button!
I think it would be funny to hook a tazer onto the passenger seat.. then tell the passenger NOT to touch the engine start button under any circumstance!

Two ideas.
If you can find an inexpensive chip/sensor with a range of 2 yards that can enable,disable a switch, This might be a decent option. You could, in theory, stick the entire cylinder/key unit behind the dash, turn it into the run posisition, and then stick this switch in to open or close depending on whether the chip is near by. This has the nice benefit of being able to raise/lower the windows/vert top whenever you're near by. May even impress a few people when the radio pops on as you sit in the car. All you have to do to start is hit the start engine button.
The second idea is similar but doesn't require any extra hardware, just a decent amount of modification to what you've got. Remove the transponder from you key and shove it into the case of your fob next to a piece of metal that slighly protrudes from the bottom. Now relocate your key cylinder inside of your dash with just a fob sized opening visible. Cut the key off at the hilt in the run position and then shave down the plastic around it. You'd want the metal out of your modified fob to make contact to the hilt of the original key. You stick the fob in the dash and suddenly the radio/power accessories are active. Now just hit your start engine switch and your off. I've seen the fob/only no-key system in a new prius.

about the remote start...i think it depends on where you live whether the person you go to will put it in or not. some states might have laws about that.
but for the right price...

In all the pictures I see, the button is mounted crooked in the hole. I went through great pains to make sure I had it centered properly. I didn't widen the hole like everyone says you have to do. You don't. I just made 7 appropriately placed and sized notches and the thing looks perfect! 
<--Notice how good the button looks accented against the crimson interior. 
And you can just make out the red stitching in my new, 4-panel shift boot.
