Remote Starting - Toyota Yaris Forums

CTScott · 12-09-2009, 10:13 PM

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.

Did you install a cable actuator selonoid to go with your keyless entry? If so, could you advise which one you used? I guess Toyota doesn't have one they can provide.

My 09 came with the power package, so it had power windows and locks. It didn't have the remote entry option though, so I used the UltraStart unit to trigger the power locks.

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.
