    Help!

    I recently discovered my Sequoia has an aftermarket remote starter. I found this out by accident when my kiddo was mashing buttons on the remote. However, I can not replicate this again, and I don't know what combination of buttons actually started the truck. Since then, I got it start again, but I was manically mashing buttons on the key fob.. and don't know what actually made it start.
    I have tried the instructions online for "hit unlock 3 times" and unlock twice, then hold down unluck.... but thus far.. no luck..
    I think the last button I pressed may have been the"panic" button that actually started the truck,, but I don't know what combo was pressed before that.
    Those of you with remote starters... can you share what key fob buttons you need to press to start your truck?

    (and yes,, I tried chasing wires to the control box, but there is no brand or stickers on it...)

    Factory Toyota is two lock presses and then hold lock until the truck "chirps" back at you.

    My plug and play that uses the original key fob is 3 presses of the lock button as well. Lock, pause, lock, pause, lock and then wait and it starts up. Good luck with the search.

    MONTHS LATER!!! And a giant spreadsheet of every combo I could find online, and systematic variations of them...

    Ta-da! I have a remote start!

    Lock, unlock, lock, unlock, Lock, lock, lock, HOLD LOCK. And car goes vrooom...

    Fucking hell, that was frustrating... Interestingly enough... My combo was similar to an old remote start someone suggested on a mk III supra which was lock, unlock lock unlock lock lock hold... Lots of buttons there!
