>How many cars in 1997 were keyless start?

"If by “keyless start” you mean the modern system where you keep a proximity fob in your pocket and push a button to start the engine, then essentially no ordinary production cars had it in 1997.

 

There were related technologies, though. Cars in the 1990s increasingly had remote keyless entry—press a button on the key fob to unlock the doors—but you still inserted a physical key to start the engine.

 

The modern progression was roughly:

 

1990s: remote keyless entry becomes increasingly common.

1998: Mercedes-Benz introduced its KEYLESS-GO system on the S-Class, allowing entry and starting without taking the electronic key out of your pocket.

Early 2000s: proximity-key/push-button systems begin appearing on more luxury vehicles.

Late 2000s–2010s: they spread rapidly into mainstream cars.

 

So if you picked a random 1997 model-year car, the overwhelmingly likely arrangement was:

 

key fob unlocks door → physical key goes into ignition → turn key to start.

 

If you're asking because you saw a 1997 car depicted with push-button/keyless ignition somewhere, that would definitely be something I'd investigate. 😄"
