ahhh, after i looked up the wiring on Directechs Directwire, i remember doing one of these. on the one i did, it didnt need the transponder ring :o . lucky me i guess. i dont think i used the tach wire tho, directwire said it was at the ecm behind the glove box and i didnt feel like messing with it.... ha...

did you do keyless entry too? i remember that being fun, you have to use a relay and a handful of diodes. kinda goofy setup but it worked. we use DEI products (avatal) in our bay and they come equipped with two 12v, one starter, one accy, and two ign wires. i guess that setup was perfectly fine, everything worked.

ya you were lucky in the sense that you had 2 igns. about the transponder it really isnt that much of a problem since all you have to do is connect just one more piece. I guess I was lucky too as I dont have one either but I used my tach. And about the door keyless entry, that was the most fun. I had to get inside the doors to cut the wires and add more wires through the tube that connects the car to the door. was fun indeed other than it rained when I was testing all my wires with the door opened and cut wires and DMM barely connected to live unprotected wires.

you went into the door? that sucks. i did it in the passenger kick, the 3 wires are layed out right in the open. you can trace them from there into the door boot. Grey, Blue/White, and Lt. green. thats only on the 01+ highlanders. good to know for the future tho. for people who have access to directed documents, its #1070.

well sroth140, I take it you did it the less fun way without the dual stage door unlock. If you do it in the passenger side, you won;t get dual stage but one press to unlock all doors. I wanted the dual-stage unlock, so I had to get into the driver's door. There's no other way since the door ecu is inside the door and switch in there too, therefore getting between them, you gotta get into the door.
