Just put this on my 2021 corolla with key start, works beautifully and everything was back together in 2 hours, thank you for making this video, it allowed me to be confident enough to install this on my own vehicle!
@@onwardtoyesterday8134 yes you have to program it with key start, when I bought the kit it gave me a link to an instructional video that showed me how to program it, not hard but you need a windows pc
Thank you Nyombi! Ah unfortunately, Start-X has not released a kit for the Pajero, but once they do I will try and update this comment for you. Cheers!
I love these kits, but unfortunately every kit I've seen will not play nicely with the SLK 'Smart Top' as it also uses the OEM remote the same way. I think the only way to have both is to set Smart Top to off (like when going taking to garage) then Smart X and others would be ok. Great tutorial though, thanks.
Thanks Eddie! Yeah usually combining two aftermarket devices doesn't work very well (specially here since they are very close together in terms of how they interact with the car) Cheers!
I have installed 2 of these over the years and loved them. Im currently doing a return on my 3rd one to Amazon. 2023 Camry Start X came with crappy install instructions and Start X has zero customer support and no I don’t consider email support customer support lol. Never buy their product again.
Great detailed video man I appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos! But hey do you know if this kit would work with a manual transmission Corolla?, and does it turn your A/C functions on as well?
thanks for making this video. question, I'm installing it on my Mom's 2022 Corolla (PTS) once installed does she need to push the start button once she is in the car or just hit the break and shift gear to go? I know on non-PTS you can't push the break until the Key is inserted and moved to the start position. thanks! again nice job explaining the installation
You're welcome Guicci! The PTS system on the car continues to work as it did when it was OEM, so they start button has to be pushed to start the engine (break pedal must be also pressed) Cheers!
I have a 2011 Corolla which I see there is a kit for it. My 2011 is not a push start. I have a an immobilizer key that is inserted into ignition which id also the lock/unlock/panic/ and trunk release. So would the kit still work the same as it does in your newr model?
Thank you very much for making this video. I have a question for programming. Do I have to take module out to go flashlink manager to update. Please let me know. Thanks
You're welcome Ly Le! Ah this will depend on your vehicle but is very likely all programming (module learning) will happen with the module installed on the car as shown on the video. Cheers!
Hi Sajid! Unfortunately, Start-X does not have a kit for the RX350 yet, but it seems it's in development, so keep an eye on it, It may come out soon and if I do hear about it coming out I will try to let you know. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Thank you Matt! Usually programming OEM remotes only ties them to the vehicle, they usually cannot be configured to perform special functions (even if they have an key label with a function, the programming of a key of is typically only to the anti theft function of the car not the functions). That being said there may be a locksmith out there with special skills that can pull it off (but won't be cheap due to cost of a new OEM remote, programming the remote to the car and then custom programming a key to perform a function). The other alternative would be an aftermarket remote like this one that does not require programming ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m94fFgXrJEY.html but does have support for remote start. Cheers!
Hi! Each car model has it's own kit, I put links to the different kits in the video description (they have kits both for push to start "PTS" and for normal key cars) Hope this helps, Cheers!
I have installed it and everything goes well, the only thing is that the remote control only works within five meters ! Is there any way to strengthen it for use at further distances? Thanks! (Start-X Remote Starter for Toyota RAV4 2013-2018 Key Start || Plug N Play)
Hi Andy! I would start by replacing the KeyFob battery as this can affect the range of your remote (remember the Start-X system only controls the starter, the transmitter continues to be the original one from the car) Cheers!
I just did mine but heater does not turn on. Had to push the start button once for the heater to work. I bought this for the reason to heat up my car especially during winter. What seems to be the problem?
Hi Danilo! Ah remember car's need a while to generate heat (the heat comes from the heater core which is part of the car's cooling system) So how long it takes before you receive heat will be dependent on how long it takes for your car to warm up and produce heat. That being said there are some cars out there with electric heaters (for fuel efficiency) on those cars (like Tesla) heat is instantaneous even if the car has not been running for a while. Cheers!
You're welcome! Yeah hopefully they will eventually add support for your XKR, they seems to be working hard on adding more models. Cheers!@@claudiovosti7353
Has anyone reported issues with the DCM after installing this? I had to replace it as it was faulty and getting error codes. But I don't know if it's because I just had a bad DCM to begin with, or if this product interfered with it.
Hi Jack! I have not had any issue with mine (but will update this comment if something changes). I could have just been a fluke (I normally would also say may the install, but since the connectors are keyed it's kind of hard to plug something in the wrong spot). I would also recommend reaching out to Star-X for tech support, they may also be able to help you. Cheers!
Hi Ben! The car will shut off when the door is opened. This is a security feature put in by Totoya with no way around it yet. However there are rumors (the dealers have gotten recent communications) that the newer models 2024 may have a update where the car will stay on but require the owner to press the start button again to confirm is them (and that possibly prior model years may get the update, but I doubt it, I think if we get lucky 2023 may see the update, so they can bring the car back to the dealer to perform, again if this does eventually happen) Hope this helps, Cheers!
I have an issue with mine that makes the alarm go off. it’s on a different vehicle but i haven’t been able to find any info on these things. Just wondering if you may have known something about it? thank you!
Hi! Nope I haven't heard of that but considering how many different kits they have available I imagine the programming (for anti-theft purposes) will likely be slightly different on each different car model. I would recommend contacting your installer or Start-X for tech support, they may be able to walk you thru some trouble shooting steps. Cheers!
Hi thespaceguy! It works the same as if the car is on (remember the car does not know it has been remote started, it just knows it's been started) Cheers!
@AlexAutoFun I haven't installed mine on my camry, but I've seen a few reviews stating they were having issues with that. I was just curious if you were having issues too
Hi J! I always disconnect the battery for safety and to ensure no check engine lights are triggered if I touch or unplug something in the process. Cheers!
Hi Alexander! The same way the car was turned on without the key, it's done electronically by the remote start system. The import part when ordering is to order the correct kit since each car model has it's own kit, I put links to the different kits in the video description (they have kits both for push to start "PTS" and for normal key cars) Hope this helps, Cheers!
Hi Crystal! Each vehicle has specific instructions for the install and in some cases programming. I would recommend having the installer confirmed the kit was installed correctly and if programming was required that it was performed successfully. You can also contact Start-X for support, they may be able to walk you thru some trouble shooting steps. Cheers!
I have a 2019 Corolla. The kit Will not program. Product support says it's because I have a factory remote start. There is a factory smart key module in here. Product support says I have to uninstall that. Does anybody have a guide to uninstall that?
Hi Barry! If you car already has factory remote start, I would recommend using it instead of trying to add an aftermarket remote start system to avoid compatibility issues. Cheers!
Hi Lojan! I placed link to the different kits in the video description since each kit is specific to a car type depending on model and if they are equipped with PTS (push to start) or not. Cheers!
Hi Tubo0h! Nope, while the kits may look the same, you need a different one, I put the links to each different kit in the video description so you can get the one for your car. Hope this helps, Cheers!
Hi Dawyne! This will depend on your car make and model. On my Corolla it functions the same as the OEM remote starter, if the door is opened the car turns off to prevent theft. Cheers!
@@AlexAutoFun it's a 2012 Acura tsx I think I saw your video where the door was opened and it shut off the engine. I just want to confirm if I unlock the car and open the door it will stay running untill I put in the key.
@dwaynearmstrong3518 Hi! yeah on mine it's functions like the OEM remote Starter but if you want to confirm you can contact Start-X and they may be able to check for you. Cheers!
Hi Thao! I'm assuming you are referring to how long will it run before it times out on it's own? If so this will likely depend on the vehicle it's installed on since the Start-X kit attempts to mimic the OEM remote start function. For example on the Corolla OEM remote start, the timeout is at 10 minutes with a maximum of 2 remote starts per session. Other manufacturer may have similar time outs, similar maximum number of sessions, or no time out or no maximum number of sessions. If you contact Start-X they can probably confirm any limitation of your particular car model. Cheers!
Hi John! The car turning off after opening the door feature will depend on your car make and model, some makes will support this and some don't. On my Corolla it functions the same as the OEM remote starter, if the door is opened the car turns off to prevent theft. Cheers!
Hi! Each car model has it's own kit, I put links to the Rav4 kits in the video description (they have kits both for push to start "PTS" and for normal key cars) Hope this helps, Cheers!
Hi Xai! This kits normally come with the hood safety pin (mine came with one, you can also see the mention of the pin when I show the instructions for the kit). However I chose not to install mine (however the hood pin is a piece of critical safety, I would not recommend not installing it). Cheers!
