I just installed a remote start in my 1999 Toyota 4Runner. Everything works great, but only works when my factory key is near the ignition.
Which is weird, because all the info I have says my 4Runner should not have the immobilizer (doesn't have the "ring" around the key cylinder".
Anyways, my car is completely ripped apart. Tomorrow is Saturday. What is the quickest & cheapest way for me to get a solution to bypass my key immobilizer thingy TOMORROW so I can start putting all these wires & things away?

Directwire, Xpresskit, iDatalink and Fortin all show this vehicle requiring a transponder bypass module.
The quickest (not best) way to get it working is to get a universal bypass and give up a key to put into the universal bypass. The better way to do it would be to get a data bypass such as a Fortin Key-Override-All or iDatalink ADS-TB.

Thanks for the keywords to search!
I called every local car stereo place and the cheapest programmable transponder I could find was $79 for a Directed PKALL kit.
Could have gotten it waaay less online, but the weather is fixing to drop ~30 degrees tomorrow and be cold as heck for awhile.
Bought this one today and now to figure out how the heck do I install it into a remote start system that's already all wired up. yikes!

I found the ignition barrel wiring under the light switch on my steering wheel.
The PKALL requires these colors for ignition barrel:
- Pink
- Grey/Blue
- Grey
- WHITE/ Black
Well, the harness has each of these colors EXCEPT the "Grey/Blue". I can't find that color wire anywhere. Could anyone help with this?

Nevermind. It seems the PKALL has TOTALLY WRONG colors in its 99-02 4Runner directions:

The identical Fortin Key-Overide-ALL has the CORRECT wire colors in it's identical (other than wire colors) install guide:

THESE colors actually match up for me, in a location that actually makes sense (next to key cylinder.

Yep, using the Fortsin install guide instead of the Expresskit guide (which is what I have), worked great. Remote start & immobilizer & alarm are all working great so far.
Yay me! lol

I agree with the OP about comparing the bypass install guides for wire color information. We all do the same thing with the vehicle wire guide lists, so why not with the transponder bypass install guides. In practice, I have found that the iDatalink guides are the most reliable and accurate.

Soldering is fun!
