    I have a 2018 SR5 tacoma. So I bought a 12 volt solutions remote start for Christmas, and for their kit you have to interrupt the TPMS wire in the hinge connector. when I was going to wire everything in, turns out I don't have a wire even in the slot. I am the second owner of the truck and it was a fleet truck before I owned it. when looking at everything nothing seems to be tampered with as in the removed the TPMS, and when you look down where the TPMS reset is, the button is capped but the wires are still ran to that location. Also when you're starting the truck and all the lights come on the dash, the TPMS lights never illuminates. my question is it possible my truck never had TPMS installed on it? and if any of you guys have ran into a situation like while installing a a remote start how did you go about it? thank you guys in advance.

    Why don't you contact the seller for tech support? N2 designs provided me with great tech support.

    I've reached out to them plenty of times but the issue is that their a smaller business and only do emails and its like once a day they'll get back to me.
    but update: I've gotten the remote start to work without the tpms wire but I noticed when I turn my headlights on my right DRL is slightly illuminated. and im very concerned about it. I have led headlights that were replaced from the regular halogen bulbs. im not sure if it happen because I replaced the lights with the LEDs or it was the remote start that did that but I never noticed it until after installing the remote start. and I have attempted to trouble shoot by taking the remote start off and replacing the LEDs with the original halogen bulbs, and pulling the negative terminal off on my battery and let it sit for a minute to see if it would fix itself, but the right DRL is still partially illuminated. and the turn signals still work and when the headlights are off and im driving the DRLs both fully illuminate and everything still works as it should. so seeing if anyone has came across this issue before. picture of the issue posted below.
