Notes:

NOTE: Some models have an immobilizer system that needs to be bypassed during remote start.  Use Use PKT module to bypass http://www.velocitymotorsport.com/security/toyota_lexus_transponder.htm.  *1  they will test only by operating the key in the passenger door lock cylinder, not the rocker switch on the door itself.  *2  door lock ECU and theft ECU are in the center console.  *3  located at one of the coils on top of the valve cover, use the wire that is NOT BLACK/ white, WHITE/ black, or black  *4  rear wiper pink/black(-) at wiper switch  *5 rear open & close motors are common through the switch  *6  sunroof relay located front center under headliner.  *7  stereo amplifier in center console below doorlock and theft ECU.  *8  the integration relay is at the bottom of the fusebox.  *9  This is for the power sliding side door.

Okay, let's make this easier. I've done dozens of Siennas for Toyota dealers, so here are some shortcuts and improvements. LOCKS: You want two-step unlocking? If you use the key-cylinder wires coming from the driver's door, one pulse will unlock the driver's door only; a second pulse will unlock all the other doors. Blue/white is lock, and I think unlock is blue.......connect the Prestige's green AND RED / black unlock wires to the Sienna's blue. TACH: You can get tach inside the car. Look above the parking brake, where a large wire harness goes through the firewall. Put your hand on the harness, and you'll feel where a smaller (5/8") harness that runs off to the side; it is wrapped in gray foam tape. Pull the harness down a little bit, and unwrap the foam tape. The are two light GREEN/ black wires in there, and one of them is tach. That harness that you're pulling on leads up to the instrument cluster. If you find that you don't have enough slack, you could always just pull out the cluster (it's only 6 screws total) and get it up there...but I've always been able to get it from underneath. Even if your van is not equipped with a factory tachometer, the wire will still be there. HOODPIN: There is only a hoodpin if you have a factory alarm...so if there is no factory alarm, don't bother looking for it; just install your own. Other than that, pretty much everything listed in the sheet above is correct. It is definitely easiest to get brake and parking lights at the front of the fuse box.
