I like the fact that the existing key fob controls it.

I did inquire about this and the answer i got was very logical...my others cars that have the VIPER systems, have a key so when i put the key in it tells the car its ok to drive, if i dont and i touch the brake the cars shuts down.
But in a Smart key system there is no option to put a key in, so the answer is , " you can only get a OEM toyota hybird remote start installed" by the dealer , i mean you can buy it dealer can install it.
because if you buy a regular remote starter, it will start the car, but it wont shut it off as it would in a regular car if you dotn put the key in, since there is no key.
I dont know how true this is, but thats what i was told, and rather to take chances i jsut bought the toyota OEM remote start and had it installed for $48.
