Default Push button start

I finally got all my suspension goodies put on my S70. Now the key rolls n the ignition . The dealer wants $650 to replac it but I would rather have a push button keyless entry set up. There are a couple of issues that I know about. 1 cable to transmission that locks the shifter, relatively easy to overcome. 2 an fm transmitter from the key to the switch got recognition.
Has anyone tried a keyless system in their S70?
