I wish it was a button that is start/stop. This dummy key looks like you left your key in the ignition. A thief might think all he has to do is bust the window and drive away. Of course, you can't start it without the real key.

If it was a button, it would be a BMW.
It's a Porsche.
Porsche has motor sports heritage regarding the left hand key-turn. I for one, love feeling her bark to life with that twist.
That said, Porsche will probably cave and make a button someday. I like having something completely different, myself. No thief is ever going to look past that blinking LED on the door panel and think it's a real key waiting for him.

It's not a key, it's a Start Toggle just like the button in an Aston or a BMW. You are not supposed to remove it ever, surely the Salesperson told you about that.
I thought it was weird that Porsche didn't use a button at first but after using it, I realized the toggle is more intuitive for selecting intermediate positions that turn on electronics without activating the starter motor. The key is the remote.

I ordered it from a dealer out of state, missed the tutorial. Local service center seemed to try to see if i bought it from them over the phone. I feel like the local service center who is also a dealer is going to put my service requests last in line for not buying from them.
