Is there anything that would complicate a Viper 560XV remote start install on a 2006 Toyota 4Runner?
Specifically, the engines have a new cranking hold system that keeps the starter engaged from the time the ignition switch is turned on until the engine fires up. That helps prevent "starter overrun" and frees a driver from holding the ignition key in the start position until the engine comes to life.
Will this conflict with the remote start function of the alarm?
2006 4Runner wiring colors and locations. Make sure you energize the keysense wire when remote starting to disarm the factory alarm.
It also requires a bypass module for a transponder system. You can use a universal key in a box type bypass.
As far as the factory antigrind is concerned, if this is truly how it operates then your installation is easier than normal. If the vehicle controls when to disengage the starter, you can set the Viper for voltage sensing and not have to worry about the vehicle not starting.
Hope this helps.
Great info. Yeah, that's really how it operates. It took me a few days to figure it out, before I looked it up. Basically you just turn the key normally, but you can immediately let go. The starter will stay engaged until the engine turns over.
I wasn't sure if it would effect the remote start because on my previous vehicle (normal ignition) when you remoted started, it seemed like the starter would engage just short of long enough to turn the motor over. It would make a screeching sound and not fire, wait 3 seconds, and fire up. So I looked it up in the alarm manual and found that you can set the alarm to engage the starter for different increments.
Thanks.
What that new starter is doing is internally using the Tach input. You DEI hookup will not need Tach input from engine.
