Picked up my 2011 4Runner

Just picked up my 2011 SR5 4X4 with leather heated seats, convenience package and the upgraded stereo for 350 bellow invoice. I was offered 800 bellow invoice by a dealer, which was 3 hours away, so settled for 350 bellow invoice locally.
Few months ago I test drove a 2010 limited and didn’t like the ride at all, compared to my previous 05 sport edition V8, it had no pick up and very choppy ride, this one felt the same way initially but after driving it for around 100 miles it feels better, or may be I got used to it.
I had a question about remote start, the dealer is installing an after market remote start for me, charging me about 250, which he stated is his cost, and that is because he couldn't match, the 800 bellow invoice price. The manager did not know what brand the remote would be, I was wondering if anybody has experience with Toyota installed after marker remote starters? He stated it is better than the original Toyota one, except that I have to use a separate FOB.

I had the dealer install an aftermarket one. It was $325. It is an Autopage C3 without the LCD FOB. It is okay, and I am sure better than the factory one, because it doesn't shut off when I open the doors. However, it doesn't have good range, and you have to push the start button twice. But I think I can buy the LCD FOB separately and upgrade the FOB. I have no idea if most/all dealers install the same aftermarket one.
