remote start help

I've been getting the run around on this and can't seem to find the correct answer..so any help would be appreciated.

I have an 05 prerunner V6. I am wondering if I need a bypass to install the avital 4111 remote start. Some have told me yes, some no. Also, if a bypass is needed, is there one that doesn't require a spare key? Thanks

 

well the keys are chipped, so your going to have to have a bypass module under the dash with the key in it. There is an option out tho that doesnt need a key. If you still have the gray key that comes with the truck, that will work. With any remote start i believe your going to have to have a module if the key is chipped. I've got one, and almost every rig that came into my old work had to have one. As for a bypass that doesnt need a spare key,its called a "transponder bypass." IT works with older hondas, but I'm unaware if DEI makes one for tacomas or not. But research the transponder bypass and see if theres one out their for tacomas. Hope my ramble help's a bit.

 

yes, you do need a bypass. You can check with DEI but I like to use the fortin one. Look on www.ifar.ca

 

Snowgod- I was pretty sure that I did need one, but last night the guys at best buy said I didn't..but what do they know....and I'm trying to avoid the key..because I don't have a spare (not smart I know)..but thanks for ur help

Daudio- awesome site thanks for ur help

 

I recommend a Fortin key-override-all in the list of products linked below. Just need a key in the ign to program then no key to operate. Put one in my 2009 with my Clifford (DEI) alarm/rs install. Flawless....
