For those of you looking at purchasing a factory remote start for your Toyota, be aware that you have to unlock your doors and this will cause the remote start to shut the vehicle off. This is listed as a security issue. It's stupid. Your turn on your vehicle from your house, wait for it to warm up, walk out to your car and hit the unlock button. The vehicle shuts off. You get in, and then start it up again. Unnecessary wear and tear on the starter. This issue should be an OPTION, easily bypassed by shutting down the vehicle if its taken out of park without the key in the ignition. This is common on many other remote starters. FYI.
