Remote start

That's a great videos. Thank you.

 

excellent video @iHacker !!!!!

 

Yeah as you guys can see in the videos is really easy nothing to worry about it (except for cutting those 2 wires but nothing that a heat shrink cover and soldering can fix) if you decide to remove the remote start.

 

Wow!! This is awesome. I had remote start on my old F150 and kind of miss it on my Tundra. Only reason that I did not want to get it on my new truck was because I didn't want to a separate remote control for it. I want to keep using my OEM remote. This is a great option. I don't know if I feel comfortable doing it myself though. I don't want to screw something up. Also, is there a separate part number for the harness. I see the evo is $199.99, but does that come with all the necessary parts? Is the harness separately?

 

It looks like the harness is separate and around $40, but you can find the evo for $123. I'm actually considering this now. For $200 a remote start using my factory fob is definitely worth it.

EVO ONE is one part (from $105-$129), T-harness ($34.99) is a second part and optional if you don't buy your unit from someone who flash it to use in a specific car you need a third part the Flashlink USB adapter ($43)

This guy sell a complete kit for around $169.99 plus $7.99 shipping

very good. thanks @iHacker

 

can the module be made to work as an alarm as well by adding other features like a motion detector ?

 

Thanks, will be buying this kit..

 

I think so but not sure, there's a lot of configurable options in the flashing software this was my first time doing this kind of stuff

 

with a name like @iHacker

 

Yeah I do a lot of stuff but mostly computers, cell phones and tablets and that's why I don't mind to get my hands dirty with wiring projects

 

Does this come flashed already?

 

If you buy from the ebay link he flashes it for you

 

That's awesome.

 

@iHacker is it plug and play or did you have to splice wires ? beside cutting the yellow ribbon for auto trans.

 

I used 4 t-taps and there are 2 wires to cut one in the parking lights switch and one in the TPMS behind the glove box, A pink wire have to be spliced in the yellow wire from T-Harness

 

I ordered mine from him. Finally got it installed today. I love it. It's going to be nice not having to sit in the cold truck every morning before taking my daughter to school.

 

Did you install it yourself or did you have someone else do it for you?

 

A couple of buddies did almost all of it. I removed all the interior pieces, and they went to town. They used to install for a living. The directions are really easy to understand, and except for the fact that I can't do a decent solder job, I would have done it myself.

 

Thanks for the video. Found it to be very helpful. I bought a unit off of the posted eBay link ( Anderson_electronics) they shipped surprisingly fast. Watched your video. Did the install, super easy.

 

Any chance to post pictures with step-by-step?

 

@iHacker
Pretty please post step-by-step installation with pictures. I want to buy it, but I need your install guide.

 

If you look on YouTube there is a guy that takes you almost step by step (oriental guy, very detailed and a HUGE help). I did it myself in about 2 hours, it took me longer bc I soldered all the connections.

 

Thanks for the link. Purchased it today. Can't wait to install it. How does it know if the hood is open?

 

I didn't realize it would know the hood is open until today. I don't know how it knows, but mine wouldn't work with the hood up. It still wouldn't work after shutting the hood and trying again. If I opened and closed the drivers door though, it would work again.
Weird

 

It might get the data from the odbc connection. Good to know the driver door has to open / close!

 

We don't have any hood pins or even lights though, I don't know what is telling it the hood is up.

 

Pretty sure it's a setting. If you call, they'll help you turn it off. I didn't install the hood switch either and it wasn't until they guided me on which setting to turn off did it work.
