Please tell me your truck is Automatic otherwise make sure to post video of your first attempt to start the truck. And if you do take the option. 2 things just because its cheap on ebay does NOT mean its quality. And lastly Make sure to read the instructions at least 5 times before openining any package other then the one the instructions come in if any instructions come with it at all.

LOL, Yeah its a 94 4runner v6 automativc 4wd to be exact. I read up on starters/alarms lightly but I still don't know whats good or not. How difficult would it be to install one of those deluxe 2-way alarms with remote starter and all the bells and whistles? I mean, I might as well if im going to go through all this right?

I put a remote start in my manual transmission 1st gen. It took a good 5-6 hours to install, but was actually pretty easy. I can't remember what the brand was on it, but it was about $60, and I've been very happy with it...

The Mars 22 system is pretty good - we used to sell those at the dealership I work for..

Also, this site has wiring info for just about all vehicles (our 4runners included)
