Review on πŸš— TOYOTA Genuine Remote Engine Starter (PT398-48140) For Enhanced Convenience by Jack Bhowmik

Buyer Warning. fits interior

I bought a Toyota OEM remote starter for a 2014 Highlander. As some other reviews say, this feature is inferior from Toyota. We were unable to get this unit to work properly 50 feet from the vehicle. It turns off when you open the door. We also have key fobs to control the alarm, doors etc. The sequence to start the car consists of 3 presses on the lock button with different time intervals between button presses. It's not working properly. Sometimes the car starts at the first sequence, sometimes it takes several. On the secondary market. We've replaced the Toyota OEM unit with a Compustar that starts up to 3,000 feet away with a two-way remote. The product is much better and cheaper. Toyota still turns off the car when unlocked, so we couldn't work around this, but other issues were fixed.

Pros
  • Remote starter
Cons
  • Slightly torn
