Since the botton barely sits flush with the center console with the wires of the harness bent to the side I'm concerned with them Melting since they're in contact with the top of the trams tunnel and it get pretty hot down there, I'm just not sure if it gets hot too there or only hot around the shifter and were the actual trans is.

And I get what your getting at with the wires in the engine bay but this is different because the wires of the harness are actually in direct contact with the heat source (that being the metal of thae trams tunnel). The start button is so long that in order to sit flush, the wires of the harness have to be bent to the side of the clip connector and squashed between the top I the trams tunel and the bottom of the start button. I'm not sure if I'm explaining it right I might be confusing you. Either way I've been driving the car this whole week to work and so far so good.

The toughest part would be deciding wether or not you want this mod bad enough because you have to hack at your center console. The hole for the roof button is too thin so you have to cut the "trim" around it so the button can go in but the chrome trim around the start button is the same size as the black trim you cut out so it works. I used a soldering pen to melt the trim around, it'd probably be easier with a small rotary tool but I don't have one. I think it looks much better in the center console.
