I lived in San Diego for the past 10 years… and you are wrong. It’s more like 60F to 85F, with inclement weather being a light drizzle which generally causes everyone to drive faster creating accidents and massive delays on the 8, 163, and 805.
That said, I miss San Diego.

So if it’s such an important necessity, not just a nice to have, why not purchase a vehicle that has it installed as an option? Again not trying to flame, I know I’m stationed in San Diego so my opinion doesn’t count. I’m surprised it doesn’t come standard in the Limited.

Only an option on ones with Smart Key, which is only the limited. (TRD Pro too?)

From my quick google searching it looks like there are some plug and play options for the Smart Key systems that would apply to the Limited but not 100% sure it’s an OEM option. The Lexus GX 460 has a factory / OEM manual for remote start. I suspect it’s an OEM option / part but I haven’t confirmed it.

It has a factory option, but factory may not be the best option. The Toyota version has very limited range(same as unlocking with key fob) and limits options. Its also more expensive.
The Compustar has the options to use factory fob, have feedback from different long range fobs, use cell phone app to have unlimited range. Plus you could add security/alarm if you want.
My wife's old car had a Viper system with good enough range to go from window of 10th floor office building two blocks to parking garage and start her car. The fob would tell her if the signal was received by the car and if it actually started.

Why even comment if you can't be helpful? I guess I should get rid of my 4Runner since there are cars that fit my needs better out there, even though I don't like them...

I cannot BELIEVE that they ran the wire through the door like that!?!?!? I have been doing auto installs for 15+ years and have never run a wire like that through the door. I have fished several wire harnesses through the firewall in my 4Runners and never thought twice about doing it. Plus they didn't bother to replug the harnesses!? That's something I always check before I finish my installations. What a freaking joke. This is the reason I don't trust anyone else to work on my vehicle, wow

It's an OEM add-on, doesn't mean that it comes standard, Toyota dealerships would gladly charge you $500+ to install one. For those of us that park outside or live in a cold climate, or even hot climate it's nice to start the vehicle and get the fluids flowing as well as letting the climate controls inside the vehicle do their thing before getting into the vehicle. I installed a remote start for mornings like today where there's ice and snow on my vehicle and I fire it up while I'm getting ready for work and it's nice and warm by the time I get in to leave for work (about 10 minutes later)
I hated cold starting and driving my truck before

That’s the most bizarre looking installation I have ever seen… I would be ashamed if this was my own work.
This is a perfect example of why I do all my own electrical these days. It’s also why I tend to stay away from used trucks that have a lot of aftermarket electrical accessories. Unless I can get an opportunity to inspect, assume it was done by some high school kids on a budget with no experience.
OP – Take that shit back. Full refund, and a back-charge for restoration.
