[QUOTE="jts4486, post: 8391873, member: 565488"] I wanted to get my wife a remote starter for Christmas of last year. We live in Minnesota and a warm car in the morning can be a real treat in winter. Anyway I cruise to the local stereo install shops and they want like $350 bucks and can't get to it till like a month after Christmas (this was like mid-November). No good. How hard can it be I thought as I ordered a cheap unit off amazon? All I really care about it the ability to start the car without going outside. I do not need or care about any other feature. Hard as hell apparently. After hours of research everywhere I can think of, I tear the car apart with some garbage instructions it came with an equally garbage wiring diagram from a Toyota forum. Needless to say it didn't work. I took it all out and put the car back together and everything still works thank goodness. I would like to try and get it installed but fear it'll never work without some better guidance. Anybody wiling to share some wisdom? I can/will gladly share any specifics you need if someone if willing to help. The lack of decent available information seems as though the installers are pretty tight lipped about sharing. Thanks in advance ! [/QUOTE]
