I would recommend to log onto the Dodge Owner's Center and request a build sheet for your VIN. You should be able to see if the car/truck is equipped with the push-to-start option. I requested a build sheet for my '13 D with all the option codes using email via the Contact Us link and they responded within 2-3 days (very quick response).

Here's a test:

Poke your finger in the hole where the key goes. If it cycles the ignition switch, all you really need is the $20 push button. Seriously. I have the push button start and if I remove the button, I can start it with my finger.

yes all that button does is makes contact with the inside ring insdie where the key would go if you put key in...if you stick your finger in you will feel the outside ring and you can just push it. Mine does not have push button option but if i stick my finger in the hole it will still push the ring down, but nothing happens

If you have keyless/go listed on your sticker you may be in my same boat. You would know this because I was having to start the vehicle by inserting the butt end of the key fob and turning it (weird).

Otherwise these guys are right that you are SOL.

Question ? Did your Durango’s dash prompt you to press break before you could start the vehicle before you had the button installed????
