Hate to ask a noob question like this. But how do you tune the car? Am i just pushing the start button with my foot off the brake. Then installing the tune?

interesting. The 11-12 models could not remove the button.

The car does not have a key hole. If your battery dies in the fob put the nose of the fob against the start button and push it. Car fires right up.
