Remote Starting
Has any one installed a remote start on their 08 Yaris? Will Toyota dealers install one? Am afraid to go to anyplace but Toyota lest my warranty be voided if something goes wrong with the remote start.

I have installed it on the 07, which I believe in the starter department is identical, as long as you dont have an immobilizer, which I believe some yarii do.
easy way to see if an aftermarket starter is possible is to have a key made from your master key, just a standard key from anywhere, like wal-mart, and try to drive your car, if you can, you dont have the immobilizer, and you can install the remote starter. I had to probe with a multimeter to find all the right wires. Im sure that a dealer would install one, but expect it to come at a premium. I did mine myself in around an hour or so, and I have a standard, so I had to bypass the clutch switch. |

I installed one on my 09 the week I got it and at the same time we installed one in SodiumDuck's 08. My 09 had the immobilizer and his 08 didn't. For mine I had to purchase a key bypass module in addition to the remote starter. The Yaris is the easiest car I have ever installed one on as far as access goes. Everything that you need to connect to is accessible right at the steering column (and the driver side kick panel if you are dong keyless entry at the same time).
Most dealers contract out the install of remote starters, and their choice of 3rd party installer can be hit or miss. |

As for where and what to buy, most people like the DEI products (Viper, Python, Clifford, Valet, etc.) for quality/value. If you check out their website (http://www.directed.com/) and find one that you like the specs of, do a quick web search to find the best price. I installed an UltraStart 1280XR PRO Remote Start/Keyless Entry in my 09. It's been on the car for over a year now and it's been perfect. It has the best range of any remote starter I've ever installed. My 09 has the Engine Immobilizer, so I used the Fortin KEY-OVERRIDE-ALL. It does the key bypass piece without requiring you to bury a key in the dash. It is plug and play to the UltraStart and many other remote starters. http://www.ultrastarters.com/ http://ifar.ca/en/products/flash/key-override-all/ |

It would be nice to have, however, they have a puffer law in my state. You can't leave a started car unoccupied.

As for door cable actuators, many here have used the A-1 Electric kit with success. The same actuator could be used for remote release of a sedan trunk. I haven't done anything yet with popping the hatch open on my LB. http://www.a1electric.com/catalog/cat_key.htm |

Anyone put one in a 5spd? I'm told the unit itself is close to $300, but it's wintery here 8 months basically and I want one.

Look in the DIY forum (the same one this is in) there is a thread called wire in the yaris and what they do. It tell all the wires you need to hook up the remote starter. Other than that there really isn't a step by step that I saw. Just follow the directions that came with the starter. I bought the starter from A1 also, but wouldn't again. You can just look at the model number they sell and buy it much cheaper from amazon. If you are doing the door locks I woul;d buy it from A1. I did all four doors and it works great and it was easy to hook to the remote from the remote starter. The only problem is the clips to hold the sheath of the cable were to tight, so i used a plastic cable holder I had around to lock the sheath in place. If you have any questions shoot me a message.

I just ordered a Viper 5701 with remote start, keyless entry for my 2001 Yaris, my mechanic cousin is going to help me install it, should be fun. Looking forward to Remote Start I have to say, saw it on that VW Passat ad, and it looks brilliant.
I presume, as I don't have air con/climate control, only an 'analog' heater, that I'll have to leave the knobs set on to heat (swung clockwise) if I'm to have a nice warm car first thing in the morning when the snow sets in? Mine look just like these: http://www.lyonssystemsserver.com/br...-010-PTIMG.jpg Any idea if I'll need the Immobiliser bypass? |

You can tie the rear window defogger to the aux output of the remote starter to clear the back window. Here, where we get frost and snow that can be quite handy. For the immobilizer piece, look at your ignition switch. If it is all metal then you don't have an immobilizer. If it has about a 3 cm metal part surrounded by black plastic, then you do.

Interesting... So for an Avital 4003 system, to activate the defogger I would have to tie it the (+) OUTPUT TO ACCESSORY CIRCUIT (Orange wire) ?

Actually on an 09 you would take the black wire in pin 2 (next to the pink in pin 3) and you would bring that wire to ground to activate the rear window defogger. So, you would need an (-) accessory output or you would have to use a relay off the (+) output to invert it.

I then need to use the ORANGE (-) ACCESSORY OUTPUT wire from the 4-pin satellite harness instead of the orange wire (+) OUTPUT TO ACCESSORY CIRCUIT. Is that correct ?
