This thread has a lot of information that is true and not true with regards to compustar systems. It is best to talk to a knowledgeable Compustar dealer.
i was going to offer an opinion but there's not much time in my life to lurk on the forums much anymore.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. If the brain is still wired in, and it’s reasonable for a remote, I may try it, otherwise just go with a newer unit like Compustar that you mentioned. I’ll have to pull some dash panels and see if I can find it when I have time.

I don't have a remote start, but I will lurk on slickdeals.net and this deal is getting a lot of attention. Best Buy has a this 2-way compustar with install included on sale.

ill pass on that, but having the alarm functions is only a few more wires that need to be connected.
sure you guys can just do remote start. leave the ac on during hot days and heater on the cold days. its handy.
the good thing about the new stuff is that you dont need to have external bypass , everything can be programmed to the brain.
check out some videos from lockdown security, it might give you guys some info on what brain can do what.

Haven't been able to find info in any other threads - does anyone know if 2018 4Runners already have anti-grind function? Getting a remote starter installed in a couple weeks and asked them to include the anti-grind function and he said some newer models already have it. Want to know if that's true before I pay for an additional feature I don't need.

You know this is the 4th gen thread?
Your 5th gen doesn't have anti grind from the factory but why is it suck a necessity for you. Read my signature below. Email me and you get answers.

It boasts many bells and whistles but I wanted to see if anyone has seen or owns one of these. The remotes themselves look to be solidly built, looks to be cast metal frames but who knows about the electronics?
Second question. How is installation in 4th gens in general? My main concern is accessing the wires--mpc provided a pretty detailed instructions (attached). Has anyone done a good writeup with pictures showing any panel removal needed for access and the location of the commonly-accessed locations for making connections? These instructions only give general locations. Thanks.

Did you ever find any further install info? I have just received the same kit. Any install tips?

No, but when you do your install you should document it for the rest of us poor souls who didn't have the courage to do it ourselves without guidance. I sent mine back as I could not find a local shop who was willing to install it for me. Good luck.

I went with 12 volt solutions. Incredibly easy and quick to install yourself at home, so no installation fees were nice. Ive had it installed for a couple months now and been loving it.

I have the AutoPage (model XT-43LCD) on my 07 SR5 4x4 & it works great. Only hiccup that seldomly occurs is that when I hit the unlock, it will beep as if it unlocks but does not actually unlock. The key is then required for entry. Still working on getting this fixed but it only happens maybe 2 out of 10 times.

I've been looking at them as well. Not a cheap unit but when you factor in the cost of a professional installer I think it's about $200 cheaper and it includes a long range 2 way remote as well as a long range 1 way remote.
