[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8535280, member: 614752"] DEI makes fine alarm/remote starters. Really they're only a handful of relays with a remote control what makes one "good" over another is only the install. And yes, it looks like Sienna has a transponder key (prevents the car from starting if the RFID chip in the key isn't near a sensor in the ignition. Various cars have been doing this for almost 20 years now. You do need to have another key programmed and tucked away somewhere near the ignition for a remote start to function. As far as popping locks/doors it may or may not be do-able. Often you just buy something that taps into some ECM wires to integrate door lock/unlock off an alarm, but I suspect a GOOD installer could figure out how to ping any electric function you want provided the alarm/remote start had enough channels for each function you want. That all said, remote starts/alarms are a colossal PITA, paying a couple hundred bucks for an install is money well spent unless you really love that sort of install or are super cheap and have the time and patience.
