  • Easy Install and Works Great — Perfect Upgrade for My Son’s Tacoma
I bought the Start‑X Remote Starter Kit for my son’s Toyota Tacoma and installed it myself. Overall, the installation was very easy thanks to the vehicle‑specific harness, clear instructions, and clean layout of the connectors. The only part that required extra attention was one wire that needs to be cut, but even that step was simple once I followed the guide closely. Once installed, the system worked exactly as advertised. The truck starts reliably using the factory key fob, and the integration feels completely OEM. No glitches, no warning lights, and no lag — just a smooth remote start every time. For the price and ease of installation, this kit is an excellent upgrade. If you’re comfortable doing light wiring and want a reliable remote start solution that feels factory‑installed, this is a great choice. ... show more

  • Quick and easy install. Works great!
I received this as a Christmas gift from my Son. I installed it today in around 35 minutes. Everything went smoothly without any problems or issues. The one wire that must be cut is a really small gauge wire. I removed about an inch of the tape on that loom to gain better access to it. I used a really good wire stripper to strip the ends of the cut wire. It would be very easy to just keep cutting the wire instead of stripping it. Be careful! Other than that just follow the directions and routing the wire harnesses behind any under dash braces. I was so confident in the installation that I went ahead and reassembled the entire vehicle before I tried it. I have considerable experience in automotive repairs, but I believe even a novice would be able to install this. Highly recommended. ... show more

  • Start-X Remote Start
Installed in a 2019 Toyota Tacoma, "H-Key" start on a Saturday. Video is helpful for install. Written directions are also helpful (which is unusual) nice job! Physical installation was simple. For programming, I held the program button down while I plugged the ignition plug into the module (as directed). Nothing happened, there was no LED activity as stated in video/directions. I contacted support via email, expecting to hear nothing until Monday. I received an email in return within 10 minutes of sending mine. They advised checking the ground connection. I put the ground where it showed in the video (behind the plastic from the dash), which didn’t work. So removed it, and placed it under the bolt but on top of the plastic (from the dash), which worked. Progamming was a snap and the unit works perfectly as described. The truck even starts if the door is open. Press the "LOCK" button 3 times with about a half a second between each press and it starts. Press the LOCK button 3 times, while the vehicle is running it shuts down. Vehicle shuts off after about 20 minutes of run time (approximately). NOTE: For the 2019 Tacoma (mine at least), there is a Tire Pressure Management System (TPMS) connection, which does require cutting a wire and attaching a supplied connection for the remote start module. The video is very clear on which wire to cut, strip, and connect using the supplied but connectors. The wire is VERY small! I recommend twisting the stripped strands, then folding the stripped wire in half prior to placing into and crimping but connector. OVERALL, I am impressed with the time to install, the responsiveness of customer service when I had a problem, and the operation thus far. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! ... show more

  • It lasts EXACTLY 2 years. Two Tacoma Verified
Got this 2 years ago. Install wasn’t bad. And I get why the reviews are good. Most people, myself included had a good experience with it for a while. Until we didn’t. I had a few issues the first year that impacted tire pressure sensors and I stalled once going from park to drive. But I accredit those to 1 off situations. Until I installed in my spouses vehicle. Same make and model. Toyota 2019 Tacoma sr5. We both have congruent issues. Now finally exactly 2 years later, when I start my car the dash screen is black and when I shift from park to neutral, the car shuts off and gives me “check charging system”, “high transmission fluid temperature”, and “low oil pressure”. Lo and behold same thing happened with my spouses truck. Two years on the dot. If you are going to take the time to install one of these. Spend the money and get something that will last 2 years or more. ... show more

  • The Product works for 2022 Tacoma Model, But the Video/Instructions Need an Edit - See Below
I purchased the Start X remote starter for my 2022 Tacoma with key start. (You should be aware that button start models require a different Start X model.) It works perfectly but the way the OBD plug connects has changed from earlier Tacoma models and if you are not aware of this the installation will be frustrating because the video posted on Amazon for the OBD connection is wrong for the 2022 model. There are two wiring harnesses. The instructions for harness 2 - the first set of wires on the video, (the one that connects behind the starter switch), works fine. For harness 1 (The second connection described on the video) there are 3 sets of plugs. A small pair of plugs (both male end) plug into the remote starter module (The black box). Another set of male/female plugs interface the BCM connection (far left top plug). For that connection, instructions on the video are correct. The other set of male/female connections is made to interface the OCD connection. For 2022 Tacoma this is simpler than what is described on video for previous models. There is no need to "interface" the OCD connection so the female end of the wire pair will not be necessary, and you will just let it hang unused. You will see an unused female end OCD connection mounted in front to the right and down a little from the BCM interface wires. It's big and white and you can't miss it. Just plug in the male end and you're good. Follow all other instructions as given on the video and you will be good to go. I gave 1 star above for Tech Support because there is no number to call. You have to send an email describing your issue, so I was left to guess what to do. Note: I should confirm something stated in another comment. The insulation surrounding the tiny wires needed to interface the tire pressure sensor is difficult to remove. Use a match or a lighter to burn off the insulation on the ends. That is much easier than trying to splice it off. ... show more

  • Just get it!
This is awesome! Installation took me about 30 minutes, the instructions on the box aren't very clear, but you can find tutorials on YouTube. It's 90% plug-and-play with only one cable to cut (TPMS), in my case it's pink, but if you follow the video it explains exactly which cable to cut. While installing the OBD port, one of the clips snapped (I probably pushed it too hard and snapped it myself) but I contacted support to find out if they had a workaround, and they sent me a brand new harness for free!!! They responded to my emails right away and are spot on. The range is not very good but that's limited to the key itself and not this module. The good news is that they sell a long-range remote that you can just hook up to the module, I personally don't need it, but if you want to start your truck from far away this might be an option for you. The TPMS light will start blinking on your dashboard when you remote start the vehicle but it goes away once you put the vehicle in gear. ... show more

  • Works perfectly, great customer support.
the install takes about as long as the video on the web site, assuming all goes well. Mine didn't; my module was faulty. The seller worked with me via email, got back right away with diagnostics, and shipped replacement priority mail. Cannot say enough good about seller's support. One thing to know; the cut and splice on the TMPS wire really requires a good crimping tool, pliers won't do the job. The wire is pretty small. The $5 Harbor Freight crimping tool works fine, and Amazon sells a good selection. I ended up soldering mine and using the splices to cover the soldered joints. Easy-peasy. I had a little hesitation about cutting into the wiring harness on a brand new truck, but no big deal, it's easy to access and invisible when I'm done. The covering over the new harnesses matches the OEM Toyota harness, I doubt the average dealer tech could tell the difference. I just looks OEM. The TPMS splice is probably the hardest part, and it's almost trivial. Otherwise it's a matter of stuffing the wiring and module into the dash and zip-tying things so they don't rattle. Three bolts and a pull and the dash panel is off, two screws and the steering wheel cowling is off, and you're looking at everything. It goes back together about that fast, too. One quirk; if you start immediately after locking, you need four pushes; one to lock, three to start. it seems to prefer a deliberate pace, not three real quick pushes; maybe a second between pushes, but not real finicky. This is going to be so great this summer, so I can get the AC going before stepping outside. I see there are several vendors on line selling what looks like the exact same stuff, at prices ranging from about $160 to well over $300. The control modules all appear identical, which makes me suspect that they are all the same kit, just packaged differently. I went with this vendor because of the great, and well-deserved, reviews about their support. ... show more
