Remote Starter - Dealer installed
Has anyone had their local dealer install a remote starter?
If so - how much did they charge? Thanks |
Re: Remote Starter - Dealer installed
I thought I read somewhere that pushing a sequence on the keyfob starts the car - and that it works on smart keys too.... never tired it.

No, the Smart Key system will not start the car. I don't have remote start, so I can't help you there, but I do know that the "out of the box" key fob will not start the vehicle.

I know that TCHs have come through with remote starters pre-installed (be it in Japan or port-installed) but I'm curious if anyone has had their dealer do it and what they charged.
I like the fact that the existing key fob controls it. |

I like the fact that the existing key fob controls it. 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. You can buy on at donjacobstoyota.com |

http://www.toyotaiguide.com/iGuide_CamryHybrid.htm See the category "Keys and Doors" - "Remote Engine Starter". Operation with the SmartKey is the same as the example shown. The Remote Starter apparently is available as either a port installed or dealer installed option. Note: When you unlock the car to get in, the engine will shut off and you'll need to restart it after getting into the car. |

You press the lock button twice within 2 or 3 seconds then hold down the lock button for 2 seconds. Turns off when you open the door or (I believe) press the unlock button.

I like this smart key system, just ordered the system for my Harley. This having a dozen keys is getting old.
