    This thread looks attractive; it’s T4R specific, but has good reviews for the product. @Accessorides You still on here?

    If this turns out to be a good product, my wife has already told me to buy one for her RAV4 when I buy mine.

    I got both on my Sierra. If I'm out snowmobiling I'll stop about 5 miles from the truck and start with my cell phone. It's all warm and toasty when I get there! Love it.

    Drone Mobile on my '15. Smartphone app to start / unlock / lock from anywhere, and two-way remotes (which I seldom use in favor of the phone app).

    Yup we are here! It's a great kit still one of our "newer" kits but we have sold a bunch and haven't had any issues. The install is pretty simple and we actually just went through and updated a lot of our install guides across the board to include some extra pictures to make installs easier. We are here to help if you run into any install issues. If you can't makeup your mind on the 2-way remote or the phone module we added a "full house" option to the site which includes both for a great price. Most RAV4 are covered as well for the wife unless its a 2019 but looking like we will be the first to have that covered shortly as well! @Gus87 05-09 kit is on the site also and is still a simple install just about full plug and play. Let us know if you have any questions.

    I've got a Viper Smart start with GPS on my 02 Tacoma . I can remote start, lock / unlock the doors plus it'll notify me of interior temp changes and battery voltage all from my cell phone

    Last year I was able to unlock my doors and remote start my truck within the watchful eye of a friend from 2600 miles away

    I would be interested in checking it out. I'm not a huge fan of splicing wires so that's why I like the idea of plug and play. Can you send me a link to check what you have out. I didn't see it on the web site.

    I checked out pricing for these. Y’all must have some deep pockets! They look nice, but super expensive.

    I’m curious why you would want a remote start in a warm climate.

    We also have winter.

    But A/C is a thing that exists, and getting into an oven sucks.

    Not sure why you would go this route when you can get a complete alarm system installed with remote start for around the same price range.

    It seems like they only make 3rd gen kits?
