   As a matter of fact, I hate doing the dishes. Laundry tends to pile up and I’m not exactly a great house keeper but I’m pretty good at building computers and troubleshooting.So, installing a remote start, like this one, is kinda right up my alley.I did watch a few different videos and the install seemed pretty straightforward. I thought it might me 20-30 minutes to install. So, I gathered my tools and Start-X remote starter kit and headed out to the garage.I began with popping off the dash panels. Some videos removed more panels than others and I came to find out later, I removed more than necessary. My mistake #1.After removing the panels, I followed a video and the booklet that was provided in the kit and began to connect the harness to the ECU. This looked fairly easy and since I have small hands, I had no problem attaching the harness and module. My mistake #2.After attaching the harness and module, your next step is to program the module by following a few easy steps. Then, it’s done right? No.. not so fast there sister… The module was supposed to flash blue… instead it didn’t flash or show any lights. The dash console informed me that there was an electrical error.Error?I unclipped the harness and redid the steps again. Four tries later and still didn’t work. But that electrical error kept flashing after each try. Then I panicked… Did I just fry my ECU?No… it wasn’t that drastic of a mistake but a mistake I did make.They don’t have a support phone number so if you need help you can only email. Which was very frustrating.After back and forth emails, I was told to remove the harness and check the tiny pins inside one of the clips. Check if any are bent. Well… if you look at my last photo. One was bent.I had to figure out a way to unbending it with doing more damage to the pins. I used a tweezer to sorta straighten it out. I reattached the harness and module. Then one last try at programming or they would send me a new harness.It worked! That was my 3rd mistake. Not checking the pins before clipping it to the ECU. I should of checked it before I even tried to clip it.Now… my last mistake was doing this install to late in the morning and in the summer. I began at 8am, I live in Phoenix Az, 3 hours later it was 110° and I was trying to reattach the dash panels in a hot car with black leather seats. This was, by far, the worst part of the whole process. Reattaching the too many panels I took off. Also, they don’t go on the same way the videos show how they came off. At least, not for my vehicle.Plus, if I didnt need my car… I would of lit a match and walked away ????But all in all… I’d buy it again. I’d just take it somewhere or hire someone to install it. Not necessarily because it was hard to do. Because by the time I was done. I looked like a red sweaty tomato ????**2017 Toyota Highlander XLE

   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.
