Nice write up on the Fj. I plan on doing one of these . If I don't use relays on starter ignition and power could it damage something

If you mean using one Remote Starter ignition output wire to power two vehicle ignition wires, YES.

The manufacturer designed the vehicle with those circuits isolated for a reason. I have heard of blown fuses
( fuse AM1) from combining Starter circuits in Toyota's...

It will be well worth your time to wire in the extra relay(s) to keep these circuits separate. posted_image

Everything went great except the door triggers. I think the drivers door pin is RED / black . I noticed some wiring info says use the door ajar indicator wire purple / yellow but neither one went to ground when the door is opened. I'm not sure whether to use all triggers and diode isolate or maybe the door being opened for 3 hours made the becu unit to go to sleep

Wanted to do an install pictorial for a 2010, this one is great so I'll just add some updates for the 2010. First the pictorial is pretty accurate even for a 2010.

The only real changes pertain to the bypass scenario. First step is deterring what key you have. Your master key is stamped with a "G" or "L". Mine was "L" and Consider this version unlucky since it's a bit more wiring than a "G" key

Just installed remote start in my 2010 FJ with the "L" stamped key. BTW this is also an 80 bit key.

Bottom line, the "L" key 2010 by pass install requires an annoying amount of additional wiring over the "G" key install.

I used the FLCAN (IDatalink) and with the TL4 firmware (flashed myself). It worked like a champ. You should know you'll need to grab wires off the ECU on the passengers side. For me this meant running wires from passenger to driver side so the bypass and remote start could be near each other (used the D2D method).

Another important note........for this particular vehicle the bypass has only one feature, that feature is to allow remote start. Lock, unlock, and anything else you can think of will need to be wired directly (W2W).

Finally, Flashlogic/Idatalink provide good install instructions for the "L" key 2010 FJ.

I'll be glad to help out if you want to ask any questions. Glad to have Remote start, glad to have done it myself and glad its DONE! posted_image

Just to give you an idea of what harness you need to look for, the picture shows some test leads where I verified I had the correct wires before soldering in. Good luck

This is a great thread, thanks for the information.
I am working on an install of an Audiovox APS-57C on my 2007 FJ (auto). It has two IGN output wires on the remote unit harness.

Will I still need to use a relay for the ignition wires on the FJ harness or will this work as it is?

Secondly, can anyone confirm whether or not I will need to use a security system bypass on this vehicle? My key is stamped with an "L"--however it is just a normal looking key with a separate FOB so I think its just a standard key. I have three keys total so if I need to hide one in the car someplace I can? Need some clarification there if possible. THanks!!
