Has anyone tried the remote start kit from Accessorides on their IS? I've seen the 12Volt Solutions a lot and the one from MPC, but haven't found much info on the Accessorides one other than on Toyota Tacoma/Rav4 forums where it appears to be quite popular and reliable. The Allure with This one is that it comes with "takeover" which allows you to remote start and the car doesn't turn off when you open the door if the key is detected.

Anyone have this installed? I'm thinking of purchasing one if no one has any horror stories on it.

That's interesting, I didn't know there was a device that would allow for takeover. Not having takeover really limits the use of remote start, so I'd love to be able to add it to my car. Update us if you decide to take the plunge!

Sounds interesting. They have a different unit covering earlier years for the IS350. Ordered one (for a 2014 IS350), to give it a whirl.

Got an email saying it was shipped. We’ll see what shows up.

Very interested. Drives me nuts how the car shuts off if I open the door after remote starting it.
