    I was just wondering about a couple of mods I would like to do ASAP.
    -Is there an OEM for the heated mirrors?
    -Is there an OEM for a keyed tailgate or one that locks with the doors?
    -Is there an OEM for an auto start?

    Thanks and I know I went to the right place!

    There should be lots of info about each of these already around here somewhere. But to get you pointed in the right direction:

    1- The closest to OEM you'll get for mirrors is canibalizing the heated mirror controls from a Highlander. Another option is to use a brand called Muth. They're kind of expensive though. And a 3rd option is to basically jimmy your own using handlebar heater pads for ATVs/Motorbikes. Someone did manage to get a set of OEM 4Runner mirrors to work though, and even wired up the turn signals as well as the puddle lights on them.

    2- No OEM that I know of. With the tailgate lock, you have 2 options. The first is PopNLock, which comes power and no power, and includes a key function. The second is called DynoLock which only comes powered and doesn't offer a key function. That's the one that I have, and so far I like it. But I also have a canopy, so if it fails on me, I can still access the bed. If you have a tonneau cover, you may be in a bit of a pickle.

    3- Plenty of auto start manufacturers around, including Toyota. Just poke around and see if you can find one you like.

    Welcome to TW.
    Not that I'm aware of. Muth mirrors are a popular upgrade for people looking for that.
    No OEM for that. You could try Pop&Lock. They have a electronic lock which is "keyed" to your fob. They also have a manual kit which requires a key only.
    I think you mean push button? If so No OEM for that. There is a member on here selling a after market kit.
