gx470 remote starter?

If you don't have the XKLoader2 cable, try to purchase the XK05 from a place that will flash any requested firmware prior to shipment, that way you will get the latest version.  I have gotten "old" stock items with the correct firmware but an older out of date version.  Sometimes places like BestBuy might do it for you.

I believe the XK05s' Keysense output is meant to dis-arm the facrtory alarm and you won't need to run GWR from the remote start to the cars' Keysense wire.

Got you ! Thanks,

Let me try the XK05 keysense output to see if it'd disarm the factory alarm and if it's not then I'll use feed GND when running from the remote starter.

I've done some online search and there some places sold XK05-PKTI and it's only listed as XK05 flashed with the latest firmware like this website

Does it mean that this unit has been flashed with PKTI firmware ?

With your extensive knowledge about remote starter and alarm installation and with my curiousity, my question regarding the push button (smart start) technology:

Is there a big difference between installing an ignition key start and push button start ? as far as I can tell the only difference is the immobilizer bypass and with the push button (smart start) required an immobilizer bypass support smart start like the XK05-PKTI.

kgerry,

You mentioned locks can be done via data on 06 Lexus GX470 ? if so what other functions can be done via data ?

Re XK05 link:  There is no exact mention of the firmware type actually on the module.  While it does say it will work on Toyota, as you know, there are two firmwares that work for Toyota.  Most of the XK05s I have seen come with the PKT2 flavor.  PM to follow.

Installing a remote start on PTS cars is a little more complicated.  More wires to connect.  Also "key take over" can be an issue with some models.

Sorry for the off topic. I just want to finish up the topic I started and I'd like to make an example out of the PTS cars, let say I'd to install the remote starter on an 08 Camry with PTS.

I went to Xpresskit compatibility website and found the immobilizer bypass module that's compatible.  From the compatible table

I picked the PKALL and based on their wiring diagram, If I connect all the wires from the wiring diagram, would I be able to remote start the car w/o a problem ?

Thanks again,
