Car doesn't look to hard if your using an idatalink ADS AL CA but I am hesitant to do the install on this car. Astrostart and "autostart" companies both don't supply wiring guides for the car. Is this car reasonable to do in 4 hours or less?

I would say my first push-to-start Toyota took me maybe three hours without rushing, being careful. I'd say about two hours, maybe even 1.5 hours now that I have some experience with them.
Whichever bypass you use, go to the bypass manufacturer's website, and you can get specific install guides for push-to-start Toyota, which shows the car's wiring colors and locations.
I love ADS products but for these cars I prefer Fortin's KEY-OVERRIDE-ALL. Go to ifar.ca and take a look at the install guide for yourself.
The ALL has two onboard relays, and their setup not only saves installation time, but you'll only be splicing into the car's brake wire, rather than interrupting it.
This way, if your wire comes loose or if your module or some other part of your installation fails, the car still runs fine.
With the other setup, where you interrupt the brake wire, all you need is a faulty connection and the car is going to the the dealer on a tow truck.

I just did an 08 prius yesterday using a pkall bypass. Worked like a charm. Took me about 5 hours or so because of another car i was working on at the same time.
A DMM is a beautiful thing.
