I will also put in a vote for Accessorides. I just installed mine last week, it only took about an hour and I was dinking around with other stuff at the same time. (Moving switches) I'm loving it so far.
I went for the cell phone option. The app seems a bit clunky to me, but it has worked every time.(kind of, keep reading) It will tell you if the doors are locked or unlocked and give you a read out on the battery voltage as well. You can set a pin on the app so no one can mess with the car if you leave your phone someplace. The app could use a few other small improvements, like letting you upload a pic of your own car instead of having to choose something close. (No '11 TE option, so I'm stuff with SR5 or Limited
) It would also be nice if you could adjust the pre-run time from the app, but that currently requires you to send the module back to Accessorides.
My last peeve about the app is the start and shutoff buttons don't say start or shut down. They just have some circular icon arrows that have never been associated with start or stop. It wouldn't kill them to even add the text below them and I could get over it. The lock/unlocked symbols and text are as you would expect...why not the start stop?
The app also hints that you can add 4 switched accessories...like lights etc. However, there is nothing on the Accessorides website for this. Imagine forgetting where you parked and being able to turn on the LED light bar remotely.....can you say airport parking lot after a two week trip? or even a nice security feature for people that have to park in sketchy areas.
One small thing I noticed was when I parked in a home garage for 2 days the cell service was pretty limited if it reads at all. It's 4G service supposedly, however the area I was in didn't have the greatest coverage to begin with. So it could have just been a combination of the house I was at and the area. I was close enough to my T4R that the OEM fob worked fine so in that instance I didn't really need the app.
