    Not sure what you question is exactly. Is it, has anyone done this(install) or if they have it?

    I think he means, does anyone have it installed. By the way, I was wondering the same thing.

    I installed mine about 5-6 months ago. It's pretty easy and I love it. The factory remote start turns the truck off when you open the door (c'mon toyota, don't be retarded). I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a full plug in play kit.

    Just buy some of the plastic dash/ trim tools first. There are plenty of videos to Google/ YouTube that show taking your interior apart. I think it took me 2-3 hours to do, but I was going super slow and careful

    I also installed this one and I would highly, HIGHLY recommend it. I went with this as it was completely plug and play. Their video install tutorial was excellent and all I needed. It was very easy and I did it without dash/trim tools (although I would recommend them to make it easier).

    @Mootball, I also see your profile indicates you are/were in the army. They offer a discount for military/first responders.

    Also have installed this kit, works great got it all done in about an hour, the install video is great, pulling passenger side cover down was a pain but that was hardest part, you also have to put your dash completely back together to test it or else truck won't start

    I just plugged everything back in but let the dash down and tested it.

    Also, I would suggest taking pictures of everything before you start disconnecting.

    I put one out of these in my Tundra back in October. Like all of previous posts on this thread, I love it and it was super easy to install.

    I did not remove my entire dash watch the install video, I did exactly what's in the video sorry I did not use the factory correct terms for every part of the truck for you, and I said it took me a hour if I took all that apart in and back together in a hour it would be damn impressive

    Mine has a viper in it with remote start. It acts up from time to time. Had it turning over and not starting twice. As if the handshake wasn't being made, and fuel pump didn't come on or something.

    I just installed 12 volt remote start. Great product easy install. Less than a 1 beer install! I had trouble with a harness and they sent me a new one 2 days later no questions asked! 3 clicks of key fob and it starts right up!

    Yes this is a well made product and works great on my truck. It's made by Fortin and sold by 12 volt solutions. Just check the Fortin website and you can get a bunch of info from their forum.

    So this ebay one is also made by Fortin:
    https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/163521245658

    .To me looks like same thing as 12volt other than $150 price difference both plug and play and both made by Fortin just sold by different vendors
