Yeah. The toggle on the console is the only ignition switch now. Even the original cylinder has been removed. It basically works on a relay instead of with a key. There's also a delay switch that waits about 2 or 3 seconds after you flip the switch to turn the motor on and off just in case someone or something hits the switch while you're moving so it doesn't just shut right off. As for the doors, you can lock them any one of 3 ways. With the keys, with the original switches on the door, or with the toggle on the console (all of the original controls that the switches replace still work in case someone else drives the car). The car doesn't have keyless entry and I usually don't use the console switches. Honestly, I rarely lock the thing. Someone stupid enough to steal a car probably won't be able to figure out how to even start it, much less drive it (it can be driven normally once the shoe is removed from the disc, but otherwise it's hard to drive regularly since the shoe keeps hitting the floorboard).
