Excellent video! Clear and precise instructions from start to finish. Took an hour to complete, if I did it a second time probably abot 30 minutes. Start-X should pay this man. Can't say enough, PERFECT!

I just installed this remote start with your instructions on my 23 4runner. Followed to the t. Super easy. Super helpful video. Thank you so much. After i plugged the wires into the remote start box i accidentally pressed the little black button while the led lights were on and they turned off. I had to unplug all the wires and start the plugging sequence fresh. Thanks again.

[@installsandpitfalls]

Awesome! Thank you for watching!

[@JoseCruz-kp7ru]

I was wondering about that, thanks

[@installsandpitfalls]

Yeah, if the sequence is interrupted you have to unplug it and redo the sequence

[@porcheesie]

I had an issue where the unit wasn't getting any power. I realized the previous owner of my truck disabled the DCM module by removing the 7.5A DCM fuse. The harness for the Start-x unit utilizes the DCM harness, so this explains why it was getting no power. I replugged and it worked fine. Also - 21:07 when putting the airbag back on be sure to slide the little hook into the slot on the left hand side before doing the clips at the top. Otherwise you have to pop the clips back out and slide it back in again which is a little annoying (I did this lol) @Installs and Pitfalls this was a great video and super helpful, I appreciate you taking the time to make it.

Wow! I'm so glad you got it figured out. And definitely slide the hook in 😂 thanks for watching and letting us know 👌🏼

Great video but it would be helpful if you let people know to push that side panel, where the temp knob is, towards the back of the car with the plastic tool to get the clips undone.

That part was the hardest thing with the whole instalation Thanks again.

[@slightlystoopid420nl]

I can't believe people are saying this. The reason the engine will die when the door is opened is because it is an anti theft system. Therefore, no one steals your car while the engine is running.

I don't believe 4Runners have automatic headlights, just DRL, Low, Fog and High beams. Unless yours is the limited, but if you have a limited from 2020 and on it should already have remote start.

Mine is a 2017 limited, my light switch control has auto on it, but since I hardly drive at night, I never really tested it before adding the remote start. It’s not a huge deal I’ve never had automatic lights so I’m used to flipping them on and off manually.

I think it has something to do with push to start. My 23 Taco TRD factory remote start shuts off when I open door. My sons 22 Taco SR5 with start x stays running but has a key. I'm buying either this one or the Accesoride for my wife 23 4Runner TRDOR . Thanks for the vid.

You're welcome, I think it definitely has to do with the keyless so nobody hops in and steals the vehicle. Thanks for watching!

I came across a reseller here where I live and was just about sold till I looked it up. it really is a shame about the shut off feature. my 07 Escalade remote starts and stays on. hope someone makes a better one down the road though 🤙🏽

[@installsandpitfalls]

It's definitely something to consider, it really hasn't bothered me in the least. Thanks again 👍🏼

Looks to complicated. A lot of potential damage. Plus so much for your warranty.

[@installsandpitfalls]

It's not complicated, if something happens just remove it 👌🏻

Is there a good video out there for the 2020+ Start-X remote starter for 4Runners with the key ignition. Can’t seem to find anything 🥲

[@installsandpitfalls]

I'll dig around a little and see if I can find out
