    I purchased this at the beginning of the month and got it installed a little over a week ago. I like it and my wife loves her. I haven't had any issues yet..(knock on wood). One thing that did annoy me is the flashing blue light on the antenna. I plan on taking electrical tape or something black to mask the flashing LED light. Other than that, it is nice to start up the Tundra while I get ready for work or prepare to head home from work.

    Will this replace my stock key fob for locking/unlocking the doors? Would be nice to have one fob that does it all

    You can take a black paint pen and cover the light with it. I did that on my phone charger light.makes it really dark but not annoying

    It should work for 2018 Tundras, because mine is on my 2018.

    I got the Compustar installed at another Bestbuy without any issues. Turns out the Geeksquad person didn’t know what the hell he was talking about when he said the previous remote starter I ordered was incompatible. Best part is the original key fob works to remote start.

    I'd be interested in a Remote Start for my 2010 SR5 but not having the 'G' Key really seems like I'm limited...….but I've always been somewhat "limited"o_O

    Yes, mine is the same too. Once the truck is on and running. Unlocking it unlocks all doors. I think they tied it to the door lock wires and not the remote lock feature.

    Not sure what you mean, but you can start your truck using the “G” key or their provided remote start fob. You would still need to key to turn on your truck or it kills the engine and you have to turn it on with the key again.

    From what I read on these Remote Start posts, they all require my truck to have a 'G' key; mine doesn't.

    Can anyone tell me, Does the vehicle shut off once a door is opened, then you have to restart it upon entry using this remote starter?

    I have exact same deal from last year. My unit crapped out after 9 months. If you buy this, better get BB warranty. Their defective return policy is like 12 or 15 days, then you have to deal with Firstech for manufacturers warranty within 1st year.

    Finally got a replacement, but it was a pain...
