Fantastic Step-By-Step. Thank you!! I had mine installed and working in 30 minutes. True plug and play. NOTE- when tucking the module into that space, don't push it all the way in. There are little plastic nipples that will hold it from coming back out and it's a bugger to get them to clear.
I wish I could give this video 1000 likes. My wife wanted auto start. I didn’t think it was possible. I contemplated paying somebody to install the system but I just watch this video a few times and did exactly is this guy showed us and it works like a champ. I can’t thank you enough.
Just did my plastic 2023 4Runner today, took me 2 hours because I'm old and can't see worth a crap - never could've done without your video. Thank you!
Thanks for the thorough video. I’m not getting the remote starter but I needed to see how to remove the glove box because of a squeaky passenger air vent. This is perfect.
Thanks for the tutorial. Simple and to the point. Update. 05/25/2024: I just put my remote start system in. Aside from a couple of hiccups due to my not paying close enough to the directions and illustrations in this tutorial, the installation went pretty much straight forward. Thanks again for this tutorial. (My install was into a 2024 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium.)
I just installed this remote start with your instructions on my 23 4runner. Followed to the t. Super easy. Super helpful video. Thank you so much. After i plugged the wires into the remote start box i accidentally pressed the little black button while the led lights were on and they turned off. I had to unplug all the wires and start the plugging sequence fresh. Thanks again.
I literally took my computer to my 2024 4runner and installed this exactly like you did. I could have figured it out in time, but you definitely saved me a bunch of time and headache. Well done! Thank-you
Thank you for taking your time to put this video together! I watched a few and yours was the best! Took everything apart and back together… all worked perfectly and I have the guidance by you to thank!!
Thank you for the kind words! This one definitely took a while to film, but we wanted it to be the most complete one on YT for this product. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Excellent video! Clear and precise instructions from start to finish. Took an hour to complete, if I did it a second time probably abot 30 minutes. Start-X should pay this man. Can't say enough, PERFECT!
Excellent step by step instructions for 2020-2023 4Runners. It made this project a breeze. One thing I will mention is: their is no need to remove the air conditioning knob. The knob does not interfere with the removal of the panel. Thank you for making and sharing this video.
I had an issue where the unit wasn't getting any power. I realized the previous owner of my truck disabled the DCM module by removing the 7.5A DCM fuse. The harness for the Start-x unit utilizes the DCM harness, so this explains why it was getting no power. I replugged and it worked fine. Also - 21:07 when putting the airbag back on be sure to slide the little hook into the slot on the left hand side before doing the clips at the top. Otherwise you have to pop the clips back out and slide it back in again which is a little annoying (I did this lol) @Installs and Pitfalls this was a great video and super helpful, I appreciate you taking the time to make it.
Thank you for your video. My kit arrived with no instructions aside from the website, which does not cover the programming. Got me up and going in a minute. Thanks Again.
Awesome, yeah the lack of real directions or in-depth videos on tons of products I've bought over the years made me start the channel. I'm glad it helped 👍🏻
Outstanding video!! After watching it once and skipping through it a few additional times I was able to install my StartX system and fix a dash rattle (in the passenger air vent) in about an hour. This video gave me the confidence to even attempt the install. Invaluable!!
Nice! I’m getting a ORP (trading in a srt Durango) and was going to get the dealer to install a remote start at purchase . I been on the fence now with 12volt and this system and it seems like everyone has positive stuff to say about this kit. Super easy install too.
Waaay helpful than the actual install guide! Thank you! Saved me from a lot of Google to figure out different tab locations. Not to mention many plastic panels from snapping! This disassembly and a few others made me see how much effort Toyota put into ensuring their vehicles have great durable fit parts Thanks again and Happy New Year!
GREAT VIDEO ,,,,, i watched a few others from start x ,, they had u taking apart the drivers side i almost gave up then watched your entire video and it was a breeze ,,,,, thank you for input mine is a 2022 4runner
@@installsandpitfalls Crushed it! Fully installed and working great - your step by step with accurate commentary just worked great…thanks again for being a part of a warmed up & cooled down 4Runner!
You can definitely do it! Definitely worth it to watch it a few times, but I think we covered everything. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Good luck 👌🏼
@@DavidGuilford31 when you are programming the black box, is it flashing the correct sequence? If not you'll have to unplug the wires from the box and start the sequence over.
@@installsandpitfallsgood morning and yes I followed sequence and doors were closed. Your video is so helpful and easy to follow, just the dashboard lights up then nothing, and flashing red. I am in touch with StartX, he got back to me last night actually, so we’ll see what happens today. I’ll try it all again.
It looks doable but if I want autostart I’m just sending my wife outside to get in the 4Runner and push the button. She’d only have to do that a few times before she tells me to take a flying leap.
Well, it can warm up your interior, seats, engine & defrost/de-ice on the glass. Or cool the interior down in the summer. I think the benefits outweigh the negatives, but I live where get all the extremes.
I can't believe people are saying this. The reason the engine will die when the door is opened is because it is an anti theft system. Therefore, no one steals your car while the engine is running.
Most complete professionally shot auto video I have ever seen, amazing and thank you. I now plan on installing remote start on my 2023 4Runner myself. What would you guess is the time frame from start to finish for old school shade tree mechanic ?
Thank you so much for the compliment! I'd say 1-1.5 hours, I don't think it will take that long, but i always add in some extra minutes just in case. Let us know how you do, thanks for watching!
Great video but it would be helpful if you let people know to push that side panel, where the temp knob is, towards the back of the car with the plastic tool to get the clips undone. You kind of cover up how you are removing it until you say it just slides out. It would help to see all the clip locations on the part too. That part was the hardest thing with the whole instalation Thanks again.
Thanks for the input, I'll definitely make sure to give more details and instructions in future videos. I'm still learning how to be more of a teacher than just a doer. Thanks for the advice and thanks for watching!!
Just want to add my comments on a great job. I approached the install on my '23 4Runner with trepidation, always afraid of that snag or plastic dash piece that snaps... the key here is just like Simon Says... do exactly what the video says, and you will be done in one hour. Or less!
Thank you for the detailed video. Followed it scene by scene and now I have remote start. The video Start-x has is terrible. They should be paying you.
Hi, yes we are going to be installing some recovery points on the front of the 4Runner and some catalytic converter anti theft shields. We hope to get them done next week. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!
I guess you could disconnect the negative battery cable, but I haven't looked into that, so research it if you're planning on doing it that way. I don't want to give out false info.
Try the Toyota fob first!! This mod could be totally unnecessary. Press the lock button three times holding it down on the third time for about ten seconds. If lights flash the it will start right up.
I dug around as much as I could, didn't find anything online specifically saying to reprogram it. But, knowing that even getting the programming sequence wrong (pressing, holding, installing wires) will make you start the sequence over again, it probably just needs to go back through the process.
Is there any downside to this product? I guess I'm just trying to understand why Toyota did not use a similar module from the factory, since it's so easy.
So far no down side that we've ran into. I'm not sure why they don't/didn't include it, my opinion is they were going to try monthly subscriptions for different options
Have you had any issue with it killing the battery? I would like to install this in my wife’s 24 but I’m seeing quite a few reviews saying it doesn’t always work and that it kills the battery
Everything seems to work, but has anyone had any issues with automatic headlights turning on after dark, mine won’t flip over from DRL. Found that out when I left some where, didn’t seem bad with my DRL reflecting off buildings windows and stuff, but then I got on a road which no street lights and holy crap I couldn’t see anything, it was my first time driving it at night. Don’t know if I bought it used like that or if something isn’t connecting right with all this wiring. Anyone else have issues??
I don't believe 4Runners have automatic headlights, just DRL, Low, Fog and High beams. Unless yours is the limited, but if you have a limited from 2020 and on it should already have remote start.
Mine is a 2017 limited, my light switch control has auto on it, but since I hardly drive at night, I never really tested it before adding the remote start. It’s not a huge deal I’ve never had automatic lights so I’m used to flipping them on and off manually.
I wanna know what you mean if you don’t install the warning sticker wiring and someone does start it by hitting the lock 3 times will it hurt somebody?
In the weird scenario where it's at a oil change place and someone is under the hood or whatever and another tech pushes buttons. It's a safety switch for whatever reason, probably corporate lawyers were involved.
@@installsandpitfalls so in a detailed question. If the hood is open can I or a tech start the car normally with the push button inside the cabin and everything be fine? Is that extra piece only if someone hits the button 3 times while the hood is open? I’m still confused on what that extra piece does and is it critical to install it to not destroy my 2023 4runner lol
It can warm up your interior, seats, engine & defrost/de-ice on the glass. Or cool the interior down in the summer. I think the benefits outweigh the negatives, but I live where we get all the extremes. I just restart the truck and go.
I looked it up on Amazon, it shows 2023. You might be able to email or call the company to confirm, I assume it'll work but it would be best to confirm with them.
Hi, the 3 button sequence to start the 4Runner uses the lock button on the key fob. So it's already locked and running ☺️ when you open the door the engine shuts off, it's a anti-theft feature.
@@installsandpitfalls I nervous to start the project because the truck is so damn quiet from the factory that I would imagine one false move and you will be in bed with a weak or a rattle till you sell the truck. Also, it’s annoying that the truck turns off when you unlock the door with the remote or open the door. Defeats the purpose of only having one cold start
@@on2wheels275 Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
@@JoseCruz-kp7ru because it’s the Internet and it’s meant to be funny not hurtful. I already spoke with the creator of this post about my apprehension to do this task because the truck is so damn quiet and squeak free from the factory that I would hate to loose that by just adding a remote that shuts off when the door is open and forces you to “restart” the truck which makes it counterproductive to the idea of a remote start. Not everything in life can be as you see it Jose. Just go outside touch some grass. It will be ok
Well, it can warm up your interior, seats, engine & defrost/de-ice on the glass. Or cool the interior down in the summer. I think the benefits outweigh the negatives, but I live where I get all the extremes.
I think it has something to do with push to start. My 23 Taco TRD factory remote start shuts off when I open door. My sons 22 Taco SR5 with start x stays running but has a key. I'm buying either this one or the Accesoride for my wife 23 4Runner TRDOR . Thanks for the vid.
I came across a reseller here where I live and was just about sold till I looked it up. it really is a shame about the shut off feature. my 07 Escalade remote starts and stays on. hope someone makes a better one down the road though 🤙🏽
Fantastic Step-By-Step. Thank you!! I had mine installed and working in 30 minutes. True plug and play. NOTE- when tucking the module into that space, don't push it all the way in. There are little plastic nipples that will hold it from coming back out and it's a bugger to get them to clear.
That's a great tip on the depth! I'm glad the video helped, you got it in way faster than me 😂

@jeffofalltradeshandymanser1982 yes it is designed that way..
Sorry I'm just seeing your comment, yes, the engine cuts off when you open the door. It's a anti-theft design.

Mine is a 2017 limited, my light switch control has auto on it, but since I hardly drive at night, I never really tested it before adding the remote start. It’s not a huge deal I’ve never had automatic lights so I’m used to flipping them on and off manually.
Thanks for the video I would of broken atleast a few clips
Yeah those hidden clips are tricky
Can we get a list of tools you used and sizes? Please !
I think it just requires a 10mm socket, a ratchet and some plastic trim tools
@@installsandpitfalls Thank you !
You're welcome, good luck with the install. Keep us informed on how it goes 👍🏻
@@installsandpitfalls I am super nervous about trying ! i am having the vehicle filmed now and will attempt when I get it back
@@installsandpitfalls Also what is that tool called the torque wrench you are using ?
I wanna know what you mean if you don’t install the warning sticker wiring and someone does start it by hitting the lock 3 times will it hurt somebody?
In the weird scenario where it's at a oil change place and someone is under the hood or whatever and another tech pushes buttons. It's a safety switch for whatever reason, probably corporate lawyers were involved.
@@installsandpitfalls so in a detailed question. If the hood is open can I or a tech start the car normally with the push button inside the cabin and everything be fine? Is that extra piece only if someone hits the button 3 times while the hood is open? I’m still confused on what that extra piece does and is it critical to install it to not destroy my 2023 4runner lol
@@JayNapo that hood pin is a remote start disable switch. The push start will still work 👌🏼
Any problem with the panels being loose after doing that job?
Nothing loose so far
What model of 4runner is it because I have the limited and it comes with remote start
I've got a 2020 Off Road Premium
Is the truck sapose to die when you open the door after using the remote?
Yes, it's a anti-theft feature.
It can warm up your
interior, seats, engine & defrost/de-ice on the glass.
Or cool the interior down in the summer. I think
the benefits outweigh the negatives, but I live where we get all the extremes. I just restart the truck and go.
Thanks ,,,, my friends new dodge truck doesn't turn off when the door is opened
@@user-fe9bd7ec2r no worries, I think even the factory Toyota turns off.
Can you pair it to the Toyota App??? Thanks :)
I don't believe so, but it wouldn't hurt to look on the manufacturer's website
It seems weird to shut off when opening the door to get in, and then have to start it backup again
100% agree 🤔
I'd prefer that it stayed on as well
No way around it.
@@studioxps72 exactly, I wish it gave the option
The factory installed ones work the same way (shuts off).
I wish there was a way to bypass that when you open the door it shuts off instead of restarting it but nicely done 👍👊
Yeah it would be nice to override that
does anyone know if this will work on a 2024 yet?
I looked it up on Amazon, it shows 2023. You might be able to email or call the company to confirm, I assume it'll work but it would be best to confirm with them.
just installed on my 2024 ORP today and works perfect, will be a lifesaver for AZ summers
Great info, I assumed it would work on the 24's, but I didn't want to guess when giving an answer. Thanks for confirming 👍🏻
Once it’s started can you lock the doors while running with the fob?
Hi, the 3 button sequence to start the 4Runner uses the lock button on the key fob. So it's already locked and running ☺️ when you open the door the engine shuts off, it's a anti-theft feature.
I thought it was the unlock button my misunderstanding. Thanks for replying and informing me!!! Take care!
@@corystaples8948 glad to help 👌🏼
Hello. Do you have interest in testing our Toyota 4 Runner product?
What product?
interior door handle or grilles@@installsandpitfalls
Or other interior car accessories, if you're interested, I can show you the link.@@installsandpitfalls
Dashboard squeaks has entered the chat 😢
Uh oh, we haven't had any squeaks. Have you zeroed in on the location?
@@installsandpitfalls I nervous to start the project because the truck is so damn quiet from the factory that I would imagine one false move and you will be in bed with a weak or a rattle till you sell the truck. Also, it’s annoying that the truck turns off when you unlock the door with the remote or open the door. Defeats the purpose of only having one cold start
@@on2wheels275 Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
@@JoseCruz-kp7ru because it’s the Internet and it’s meant to be funny not hurtful. I already spoke with the creator of this post about my apprehension to do this task because the truck is so damn quiet and squeak free from the factory that I would hate to loose that by just adding a remote that shuts off when the door is open and forces you to “restart” the truck which makes it counterproductive to the idea of a remote start. Not everything in life can be as you see it Jose. Just go outside touch some grass. It will be ok
Nah, I live in a place that can be 0°F and 115°F, I generally only use the remote start for extreme temps or conditions.
Looks to complicated. A lot of potential damage. Plus so much for your warranty.
It's not complicated, if something happens just remove it 👌🏻
What pointless mod if it shuts off after start up lol
Well, it can warm up your interior, seats, engine & defrost/de-ice on the glass. Or cool the interior down in the summer. I think the benefits outweigh the negatives, but I live where I get all the extremes.
I think it has something to do with push to start. My 23 Taco TRD factory remote start shuts off when I open door. My sons 22 Taco SR5 with start x stays running but has a key. I'm buying either this one or the Accesoride for my wife 23 4Runner TRDOR . Thanks for the vid.
You're welcome, I think it definitely has to do with the keyless so nobody hops in and steals the vehicle. Thanks for watching!
I came across a reseller here where I live and was just about sold till I looked it up. it really is a shame about the shut off feature. my 07 Escalade remote starts and stays on. hope someone makes a better one down the road though 🤙🏽
It's definitely something to consider, it really hasn't bothered me in the least. Thanks again 👍🏼
Is there a good video out there for the 2020+ Start-X remote starter for 4Runners with the key ignition. Can’t seem to find anything 🥲
I'll dig around a little and see if I can find out
