Remote Start

Great thing about the @N2DesignsInc kit, is its 100% plug n play. No cutting. No splicing. Nothing permanent. Super easy to go back to stock and super easy to install.

Now I believe most companies that sell remote starts for tacomas all use the same brand of remote starts. So my suggestion is to go with the company that's got the better and more reliable customer service. Cant speak for 12 volt solutions, but n2design will personally reach out to you if there are any issues.

 

@slowlane @mds08 @Cav_BluTRD @Mike O Thanks guys...

One thing I'd like to say is...STAY AWAY from AMAZON and eBay Sellers. They aren't authorized dealers and so that WILL affect support, and warranty should you need it. Here is my write up on that:

BUYER BEWARE - PLEASE READ BEFORE COMPARING N2 TO AMAZON & EBAY SELLERS/PRODUCTS

 

15 minutes to put on, 15 to take off. No trace. And for the record, I have Toyota Dealerships whom purchase my product and charge $900, + labor rate for install +tax.

The dealership has to be able to prove it was that device that caused your issue.

 

As will www.12voltsolutions.com; and cheerfully. Also 100% plug and play.

 

Makes sense. Thanks guys

 

Mine will be here in a couple days. Pretty decent deal on the N2 with the cell phone deal added on.

 

How does the smart phone control module work? Assume via an app? Does it require WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.?

 

An app.
Requires a yearly subscription
Uses cell towers.

 

Thanks

 

The Smart Module add-on option which I highly recommend and is the most popular add-on here on and off the forums. This module gives you the ability to start/stop your engine, monitor battery voltage, lock/unlock the vehicle, and GPS locate from ANYWHERE in the world so long your vehicle is in good 4G/LTE (or backwards compatible 3G) cellular signal range AND your smart phone has good cellular reception OR decent WiFi. The app tells you if the engine started, shows an engine count down timer until it stops (if you don't get to the vehicle within 15 minutes of triggering), shows the door-lock status and so on. Most folks have their phones on them more then their key FOB especially by their bedside when wondering if they locked the vehicle or not, just check the phone app (free app). Or if you go out of state and doubt yourself, you can always rest assured that you can check, and correct the situation. Sometimes you might be on a high floor at a hotel and just don't remember if you locked it or not, well you won't need to walk down within range to check any longer. Personally, and most folks who have this combination seldom ever use their FOB to start/stop the vehicle unless the key FOB is on them. Under good circumstances, the app is just as responsive/fast as the FOB itself! Best part, all this stuff is universal, take it with you to your next vehicle or take it off on a lease return. Heck, take it off if you don't want the dealer scape-goating since it's pure plug n play!

 

You guys running any specials? Or offer a military discount? Been on the fence about getting one of these setups.

 

Very happy with this. Been using it for 2 years almost.

 

This might be a good place to clarify that the app, etc. is the same for both vendors.

 

Yup! Because the hardware is also exactly the same. However, the prices, well...not so much

Thanks! Sent the email. So the smart phone add on comes with the app and there is a yearly subscription right?

 

Is the first year free?

 

Yes

 

This ^

 

First year on us. Then $39.99 a year (yes you read right!) thereafter your first; rate does not change. When it's time to renew, your app will notify you ahead of time, and it's an in-app renewal, unrelated to N2. So no need to call or anything, you handle it all on your own easily.

I've got Lexus dealerships who charge $367 to keep the APP alive to put this in perspective. They wanted to be the middle man instead of letting you do it...and robbery they shall in the process! I don't care about this nor are we greedy. Heck, if I could get it lower for you I would, but this is the factory set pricing, got nothing to do with me unless I want to charge you more
