So I just picked up a 97 SR5 today! It's way awesome! Love it already :) But I was thinking i want remote keyless entry and an alarm, maybe a starter aswell :) I was looking at stuff at the local Breast Buy, and Viper seems to be the best (is that a true statement?) I saw 2 models that I liked, the Viper 5701 and the Viper 791XV. which one will be a better fit for the 4runner? Which is the better product?

thanks for the help!

Man you cannot go wrong with a viper. I love the things. Only thing is if yours is a manual then you do not want the remote start feature. I dont know if yours is or not, just stating. Other than that both should work great on a 4runner. I would ask installation guys about trying to get back window up/down to work on remote. This works with a factory remote and is supposedly easily integrated into a viper system. But i really dotn think you can go wrong either way. Let me know what you decide and how it turns out. Good luck.

:iagree:

Vipers are really nice. It will cost a good bit to install though.

One is not really nicer than the other, it just depends on which features you want.

Off topic but....

How do you lower and raise the back window with the remote?
 
Thanks! Yeah I want to install it myself (it's one of th reasons I got an old 4runner) I totally got hooked up with it, and so I want this to be my "learning" car so I can later on in life not have to pay an arm and a leg when my wife brakes my yota. It's an automatic and I live in a very cold state (Utah) so the starter feature is a definite plus. I think that I'm going to go with the 791XV, it looks like more of what I want

Nice man. You aren't buying it from Best Buy are you?

When you say older 4runner what year do you mean?

Sorry about that.
