Moving remote starter from current car to 2016 SR5?

First off, my Tacoma build date is today . Secondly, I have a car starter in my current car and would like to have it removed and put in my new Tacoma. It's a non-push start, so I am hoping they are compatible. I made an appointment in two weeks to have the car starter removed from my car before it is traded it. The cost for that $50 from the folks that originally installed it. I will have to call back and make another appointment once I know when my truck is scheduled for delivery so I can get it reinstalled. They estimated that cost at $150 (which is crazy to me). So it's looking like $200 to keep my car starter. That has to be a good portion of the cost of a new one. My question for TW is how hard are these to take out and put back in? I wouldn't try myself, but I have a mechanic friend that could probably do it for a lot less if I asked him. Thanks in advance, looking forward to your input.

 

What is the point of doing this?
The starter in my 1996 has worked flawlessly for 20 years, but I'd never think of moving it to a 2016.
A starter is a starter, right? Unless your old one is gold plated, has a flux capacitor, is solar powered, or something special....

 

The original point of doing this was to save money on a remote starter. Instead of buying one brand new, why not recycle a perfectly working one that is only about two years old? Then I found out what it will cost to take out and reinstall. I guess I have to do more homework on what it would cost to just get an entirely new one put in my new truck.

 

I suck. I meant REMOTE starter. Apologies for the confusion. The thing is clutch during a normal winter. I want my Tacoma to have it for cold ass mornings.

 

Mechanics are good with mechanical things.

There's a reason that car audio places specialize in remote starters. It's incredibly easy to screw up your entire electrical system when installing one.
