Yep. Mine starts like that almost every time (when engine is cold) since new... but I don't use the car regularly. Remember without being able to 'prime' the fuel pump and do all the diagnostics before firing up the engine (I always do that with normal keys), cranking takes longer until diagnostics are finished and fuel pressure is up. We're only talking about a fraction of a second, so no biggie. Even when not using the car for a month or longer, it does exactly as the video. Well, except a banging noise a second after starting that happens every once in a while, but not lately. No worries man.
