There are aftermarket (non-Toyota) remote starts, but I wouldn't trust them for they often butcher the wiring for installation which will void your warranty.
With synthetic oil, your 4Runner needs an oil change once a year (the six month service is just a tire rotation), thus your service agreement would be for 10 services at $200 each. That seems high to me. (Remember, all new Toyotas sold in the US come with FREE scheduled maintenance for the first two years, so be sure any extended maintenance agreement starts after that) |
Update: I went to the custom add-on shop that did my tint on the 2011. They have a VIPER remote that works with my factory smart key. It operates the same as my old factory remote and is plug and play...no cutting or soldering. Since I don't want to wait until March for weather that's warm enough to work outside, I'll let them install it. $289 plus tax. A lot better than the Toyota stealer!
It is a Viper DS4 remote start.
