Review on πŸš— MPC Factory Remote Start Kit for 2014-2019 Toyota Highlander Gas - Push-button Start - Plug-and-Play T-Harness - Preloaded Firmware by Anthony Payton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great on 2017 Highlander XLE (Gas V6)

The hardest part of this installation is taking the fairings off, but using the included plastic tools and a YouTube video (I was just (Looking 2017 Highlander Xle MPC) I was able to install this with no problems.It took me about half an hour to install.It's a little annoying that the engine dies when you open the door, but since it has stop-start technology, it won't harm the engine anyway. The starter is beefy. Killing the engine when a door is opened is a function of the Toyota firmware and not the fault of the manufacturer of this unit. Any Fortin Evo-ALL based unit (like this) will do this do, and even $500 factory installed units will kill the engine.Overall I'm very glad I didn't see you next with the purchase th winter. We've had some pretty cold days and it's nice to get in a nice warm car and defrost the glass. Add to that the factory fitted heated seats and you have perfection. Please note that you must set the front windows to defrost before leaving the cabin last night. The device does not start the defrost automatically if another value was previously set. Yes, and once installed, make sure you don't accidentally open the hood or throttle when moving the trim.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
