    Is there any dispersed camping along this route?

    Hi guys, so I installed the 12 Volt Solutions Remote Start on my Taco today. Installation was simple and a breeze, and it will start the engine when you press the lock of the smart key 3 times. But when you open the truck door, the engine automatically turns off! My purpose of getting this is to warm up the engine of my truck every morning when I am leaving for work, but with the engine turning off when I get inside the truck, it means I need to turn it on again myself. Are any of you guys familiar with this? Is this really how they designed it to be? Or is there any way to bypass that function? Many thanks!

    Added some white tuf skinz for the grill and glove box. I might eventually change the grill letters to black

    Had some help from the in-law with the install. It’s awesome.

    Figure it out, and somebody else can take your truck off your hands! Any reason why you are so lazy that you can't press the start button yourself once you're in the truck? Not to be an ass, but I prefer my remote start to disable when the door is open. I know the door is locked, but last I checked, thieves don't give one single fuck about pesky little locks.
    It really isn't that big of an inconvenience to press the little start button one more time, IMO. First world problems, huh?
    At least the truck has been pre heated/cooled.

    One of my other hobbies is I built my house. One long weekend I installed several large beams and trusses and had my wife run the overhead winch while I jimmied them into position. Ever since she’s been my “winch wench”!

    27 years of marriage, I know my place but she puts up with me anyway.

    Looks nice, what are the grill lights and where'd you get them? Those look better than the ones I have seen locally.

    I personally enjoyed the description under the headlights, especially the part that reads "Be part of a new culture that’s getting stronger every night"...dafuq does that even mean?

    It's a very real question. Having it shut off cold only to start it up again adds tons of unneeded wear to the engine. There are plenty of factory setups that stay running. Your steering column and shifter are still locked, and any attempt to break in and drive it should shut it off and trip the alarm. This can be done.

    It's not being lazy, it's wanting to improve on a great idea.

    Nice. I had that type on my last truck/set up and decided to try the manual on-off instead of the auto on with hood opening. My reasoning on that is many times I don't need the light like when the truck is in bright sun light. Plus it's like the refrigerator light... is it really off?:D

    I don't think that is for auto dimming lights. It's the space a sensor would go if you have auto on/off headlights. That is ones that turn on automatically at a certain ambient light level and off when it gets brighter again. My wife's Avalon has that and it sticks up further. I think that is available on the premium tech version.
