Start-XPlug N Play Remote Starter Kit for Toyota Highlander 2014-2019, C-HR 2018-2019, Land Cruiser 2016-2018 / Push to Start

Quick, easy install. I love the fact it’s 3 lock clicks and it starts up. Works great and adds a little value to the car too.

My wife LOVES this product and it saved us the $800+ dollars the dealer wanted. Let me say that again. My wife LOVES this product and it saved us the $800+ dollars the dealer wanted. and again... My wife LOVES this product and it saved us the $800+ dollars the dealer wanted. and just one more time... My wife LOVES this product and it saved us the $800+ dollars the dealer wanted.The remote start works almost exactly like my Toyota Sequoia Platinum. Click LOCK 3 times and hold down the 3rd a moment and it starts which is great because summer is HOT and getting into a cool car rocks, and winter is COLD and getting into a WARM car rocks! It also keeps the door LOCKED and car safe. It's so convenient. She starts the car from her house and by the time she gets to the car it's ready.To stop it, it will stop on it's own in around 10 minutes or so. I haven't timed it on either car. You open the handle, with keys in hand, and it stops. Or you click lock 3 times and hold down the 3rd lock a moment and it stops. This is the main difference between my Sequoia and the Highlander.The video instructions could be a lot better. There's another manufacturer that gives excellent instructions but I'm glad I bought it here as the product here has a better cable and they offer free returns! Also, the seller contacted me to make sure I had bought the right product and understood what was going on. I appreciated that hands on experience.The installation itself was easy. Opening the dash was scary on a 40k car and these instructions don't quite cover that.You can find it on youtube but you basically:*Press start* WITHOUT putting foot on break, twice. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right, exposing the Phillips screw. The screw is surprisingly loose but the steering wheel is stiff. Then turn it the opposite way and remove that screw.After that, you unlock the steering wheel and pull it up. Then using the tool sent you gently pry apart the two plastic steering wheel parts. They come apart like a cheap snap toy.Then you find the two phillip head screws at the bottom of the dash and remove them.Then, using the pry you undo the side plastic thing. It comes on easily but getting it back on might require the rubber hammer.There is a little plastic thing under the emergency break that my wife took off. I took off the BIG plastic strip that goes along the drivers side. Then unsocketed the 10mm socket that holds it together. This big plastic thing comes off easily and you don't need to take it all the way off. It also goes on easily when you put it back together.Now you locate the black plug under the steering column and simply unplug it and plug it into the awesome cool cord they send.Then you carefully run the cords thru the back which is easy because of the minimal connections.Then you find the white plug in the back. It comes out surprisingly easy and snaps into the same adapter and plug it back into the plug.Remember, all this time your car will have still been on.Then there's a black connector that goes into "the magic box". While pressing down on the button of hope, you plug the black connector in and don't take your finger off the button until it turns blue. When it does I quickly plugged everything in, and it started to blink blue. We pressed the start button on the car (without depressing the brake) and the box turned orange. Maybe this is an error? But it worked. Everything worked perfectly. Everything.So we put it back together and closed the hood because YOU WILL OPEN THE HOOD. If you don't open the hood then you need to change professions and become a mechanic/technician.Snap and screw everything back together in reverse order and MAKE SURE YOU DON'T IMPEDE THE EMERGENCY BREAK. Don't worry, with this great, no extraneous cable cord, you will not. You don't even need the ties. And you are done.This is unbelievably easy. Especially once you reconcile the instructions with the videos and a nervous wife.So, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! -- awesome product! Love ya! Best thing I've bought in a LONG time. My wife is super happy and thinks I'm a superhero. This was her birthday present.Now where can I get a safe and easy LED light upgrade for my 2016 Toyota Sequoia Platinum and all will be well in the world. Except that virus, I guess...

Wow so fast and easy to install. Just watch all the different videos on YouTube to see how to install without taking everything apart Only took me 15 minutes to install and program. Works great!!! I should have done this years ago. I like how this package comes with zip ties so I can neatly store all the wires

The Remote Starter worked wonderfully on a 2014 Toyota Highlander XLE with PUSH BUTTON START (This will NOT work on a key ignition model).I watched tons of You Tube videos on how to install it include ones I think that were made by Start-X (which was helpful somewhat but didn't explain everything). The best You Tube video was from "trackpalmer" (9/11/2021) which was by far the most comprehensive including the programming part.It comes with everything you need including the trim removal tool.Tips:1. I would remove the floor trims to get to the bolts holding the lower console panel and the one screw next to it. I didn't have to remove the other screw on the other side as I was able to get to the cables easily. But it's a personal preference. I've seem some videos where they don't bother and just pried the lower panel open with the trim tool but I didn't want to break the tabs or put stress on them but also it gives you more room as you will need to zip tie the cables and module down.2. I would remove the steering wheel cover next.3. Go backwards when installing the trim. Will make your life easier I feel.4. DO NOT yank on the 2 connectors. They have these very small release tabs (you can see them on the t-harness), push them down and then pull the connector. DO NOT pull the cables by the wires. Pull the connector. Which is why you need all the space you can get.5. Make sure you hear a "CLICK" when pushing in the connector and then gently pull the connector to make sure its seated in correctly.6. Test, test, test before putting the trim back. I tested both remote start and also normal push button start just to make sure. I tested again after zip tie all cables/module. And then again after trim pieces were replaced. Yes, I'm that OCD. You will see why.The biggest pain point is the trim removal. I get the car manufacturers want the inside to look clean, etc not bolts and screws sticking out, but man what a pain. It will take you longer to remove the trim than the actual connections and programming. Be patient and go slowly.Cons: Which isn't the fault of the device but more the car manufacturer. The lower steering wheel cover didn't seem to go back or fit as nice IMO once I pulled it off. I checked all the tabs and nothing seems to be broken but felt that it was a poor design.Wish I had taken some photos after install before putting back the trim.

Super easy to install - worked as described !Thanks so much!
