You don't ever do anything for your own satisfaction do you? You don't and most likely won't get it and that is, OK. You do you.

The point was always to have that factory feel. Just like the feeling you get when you pull up next to someone in something that looks bone stock and you blow their doors off when the light turns green. Plus it cool when your buddy with a 4R say, "WTF?! they did that from the factory and I...

As far as selling goes there is no money to be made here and that is no my goal. The only reason I would sell anything is that typically when you have a prototype board made it costs you about the same to make 10 production style prototypes as it does 1 and I wouldn't want the other 9 so I am...

Yea I read that one too a long time ago. When I read the signals I did it with an octocouple and a Arduino since I was going to be using that to read the signal and then issue commands to the rest of the system. That said it might give different more precise timing with a oscilloscope, but...

It all sounds good, but like you already said gotta wire it up and hit the switch, lol. I would be really excited to see a write up on this and hear how it goes. I would much rather have you be right and not have side effects. That would make this A LOT easier. I am just worried because when I...

Something similar to this actually came up in another thread not to long ago along the same alines. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/232473-oem-fob-remote-start-solved.html The only thing that worries me about disconnecting the body controller is that the system has a CAN network...

Progress yes, but I still haven't put it all together. Basically where I left off was I had created a test board that would listen to signals from the fob receiver unit in the back and then if the runner was off and it saw 2 lock pulses and a long hold on the lock it would signal the remote...

The next step for me is integration of the factory beep beep. I know it drives alot of people nuts but without tapping into it to use it the illusion of remote start being factory will be broken... From what I understand that buzzer isn't as simple as just sending a solid pulse to it. My...

It shouldn't be too bad to install it once I have the write up really you would just be connecting your trigger to it, the extra wire for the Avital and the ignition to it. Then connect the RDA line and you would be able to use it.

Yes you would connect it to the buzzer, parking lights, locks, wireless module signal wire ( RDA line red/blue wire under the dash ) and then to your alarm. Or if you just want it to unlock doors the alarm, locks and wireless module although I have considered just making it into it's own...

You are correct you can start the car with the factory remote on a lot of systems, but you can't do a toyota OEM style 2 press then hold. ( my sister in law has just 3 clicks and starts her car by accident ALL the time a hold on the 3rd lock would prevent it) Then once the car starts so do the...

Thank you it has been a few years in the making. the total cost of the part that I made should be about ~100 bucks when I am done. Then you just hook it up to something like an avital 4003 and xk05 then your good. You could even use a 4113 and have a spare remote for just the remote start if you...

the "interface" if you will is a custom board that I designed and build from scratch using an Arduino micro as the base. Right now I have it all on a bread board and still haven't done a permanent installation so there really isn't anything to take a picture of. I am in the final stages of...

The wireless receiver for the remote is in the back and connected to the body ecu by an rda wire. The wireless unit is connected to 12+ all the time so it always gets the signal from the remote. It also always tells to body ecu about it with a message on the rad line, however when the car is...

A Toyota factory style remote start for the 4th gen has been talked about tons, but no ones seems to have cracked it. The problem always seems to be that once you start the car you can't use the remote to unlock the car and you have to use the key. GOOD NEWS! I have a working prototype with my...
