    Just finished the install of the 12 Volt Solutions Remote Start on my 2018 Tundra ... ! Works but, I cannot unlock the truck with the remote ...

    I can start the truck but I have to unlock the door with my key! I have done the programing a few times read: 5 or 6, but, it does no good.

    Can anyone help before I call the company on Monday ... ?

    I installed the same unit. It is nice being plug and play but the range is limited to the factory remote range. If i had to do it over, i would go aftermarket

    Found the problem "operator timing and headspace" ... I was using the wrong socket for the TPMS Interrupt Harness ... everything works fine now ... 5-Star product and customer service ...!

    Does the truck shut off when you open the door?

    Just installed my system. Pretty straight forward. So far works great! I like not having an extra fob even if the range is less.

    No. The truck will only turn off if you press the lock button three times after you remote start it, let it time out (15 minutes), or press on the brake before you turn the key on.

    I installed one of their systems on my F150 and it was flawless. As far as plug and play systems go while using your original key fob go their products are excellent. Granted, I haven't used other systems, so I can't compare.

    No problem bud. If you add an item to your cart but don't check out, they'll send you a 10% off coupon. I think you have to create an account with them first though.

    ETA: it might take a day or two but you'll get an email.

    Is this worth the 150$ more over the Fortin Evo? Also, what's the max range?

    Absolutely ... the system is, now, true plug and play ... no wires to cut in the truck ... the range is the same as your original key-fob ... works for me ... and, I'm too cheap to add the cell-phone app ...

    Had mine for about a good 6 months now! Couldn’t be any happier! I was kinda hesitant to install myself, but I watched the YouTube video for about 2 weeks and BAM did it myself.. Much props to @12voltsolutions!!

    I just put one in yesterday. It was really simple to do. The hardest part was removing the necessary panels from the truck, which wasn't bad.
    Range is that of the h-key fob. I think that's enough but if I decide that I want a longer range later, I'll invest the $199 and get the Smart Phone add-on module.

    200.00 for a phone app and module is just too much

    You said there are no wires to cut, but the YouTube video for the 2018 tundra shows the installer cutting the TPMS wire and installing the TPMS interrupt cable.

    I’m confused!

    Nevermind, just found out they now include a T- Harness that connects to the TPMS interrupt cable.

    Yup, Just installed this one with the added T-Harness for the TPMS interrupt last week on my 18 Tundra and the system works great. Had it done in about an hour and 30 min from tear down to clean up with watching the video in between. I also installed a second on for my wife's 4runner and that was a bit more tedious. Not super hard just smaller to work in and the 4runner one I had to tap into 2 wires. Between both the Tundra was by far the easiest to install and feels great that I did not splice into anything.

    Man, I may have installed it wrong. When I press the lock buttons three times (H-Key), the car starts up, but the factory alarm(horn) goes on until I press unlock. Any ideas why this is happening?
