New Tacoma Owner DIRECTED device found under dash?

Hey Guys - First, thanks for all the great information over the years - I used your forums to help make a decision about this purchase and for all the mods I am considering.

I found this under the dash and am thinking it is a remote start device from what I can find online. Purchased the vehicle from a dealer so I am not in contact with the owner. Is there any way I can put this device to good use in the vehicle? Any info would be helpful.

Thanks

What happens if you press the lock button 3 times in a row?

 

Cut the red wire first.

 

As stated above directed makes alarm and remote start systems, looks like this one.

Looks to be an autostart system.

tracking device... no tampering or -

 

^^^ This.

Press the lock button 3x and your truck should start.

 

Does it have a red button that says do not push? Just push it

 

NOT THE RED BUTTON!!!!

 

But remember Short Circuit, cut it free and toss that 'ish into a passing truck.

 

but so pretty

 

Lots of trolls on this post... Impressive

 

Solution found, time to troll!

 

Thanks! Worked like a charm - press the lock x3 - remote start - Appreciate the help!

 

If the device came from Crutchfield, which it may have, they would probably have a record of it. If you find this to be true, I am willing to bet they would help you with any questions you may have concerning your inherited device. Their customer service is second to none.

 

No! Cut the green wire first. Didn’t you watch the Lethal Weapon movies?

 

Glad it worked and that your question was resolved.

 

Anyone have an instruction manual for one of these - or general ideas how to use it beyond the 3xlock - start function. Is it supposed to turn off when you open the door?

 

Yes... all Toyota and Lexus vehicles have this "feature."
