    Hi all im new here, hope someone has an answer for my issue.
    so i installed a remote starter from 12 volt solutions, on my 2012 tacoma , is been working fine
    until i had a engine light come up on my dashboard to read the problem i unplugged the obd and plugged in the blue driver code reader , now the truck will not start with the key ,but start with the remote ,but engine goes off when i step on the brake. i try help from 12 volt solutions they have yet to contact me. needless to say i can't drive my truck
    any help will be appreciated thank you.

    Unplug the antenna for a few mins. You might have to disconnect the main box or even reprogram the whole kit again.

    this happen right after you installed the remote starter?
    Does it crank at all?
    I suggest check all fuses......sounds like you popped a fuse.

    also i would like to see the wiring diagram of the remote starter you installed.

    Im an installer, this truck is super easy.

    Man. I almost wish I hadn't read this post. I just installed the 12v Solutions remote a month ago on my 2010. It's been working flawlessly and is a blessing on cold mornings.... which is every morning in Truckee lol.
    I'd be interested to hear what their reply is when you hear back from them.

    Never was a big fan of those plug and play. I’m old school….like to connect each wire, and know how things work.

    I've had it in my 2014 SBDC for 2 years now, No issues. I just installed one in my Father in law Lexus RX350. He loves it.

    I started installing my kit on my 07 but the door lock T harness did not fit my stock plugs. So now I'm just waiting for a reply from 12v solutions.
