    Hi all

    I have a gen 2. Love the car and have it still. It's a great car

    Yesterday purchased a 2011 Gen 3 model
    And base model no Bluetooth or jbl. My wife did not like the factory Nav

    The guy I bought from did not no anything about car. Had checked out and all ear so I bought it no manual either. I'm happy just need help from the forum i would greatly appreciate it.


    I have a factory sticker on window label
    Of VIP Toyota remote start

    How can I confirm?

    Or sequence to remote start?

    Planning on adding rosen Nav. I like that it looks factory. Any opinion? I'm looking for factory look and on ebay there about $399 so it's a good price.

    I drive to city and park outside and if I get something like kenwood or alpine etc I don't want to come back and find new toys gone. Factory look will be a safer bet

    Also looking for upgrade to foglight for added visibility find halogen but do led light up as good? Where are best source to buy one

    It's not factory, but my Kenwood looks close enough to keep the kids from noticing. Research the Rosen good before you decide. Best wishes with your new one.

    Remote start should be press lock twice then press lock hold it down 3-5 seconds till the break lights flash and it should start. Max running 10 min till you have to redo it
