I have looked high and low and I can't seem to find anything on a Toyota factory remote start for an 2008 4runner v8. I can't find a remote start for the 4th gen 4runner at all! I have even tried to look and can't find it for the prado 120. I am thinking that one of the remote starts from another Toyota of the same year would most likely work though. I was thinking it may be one of the following. They both seem to have all the same connectors as the 4runner. Here are the manuals

They seem to have the same connectors and can system that 4runner uses. I am hoping someone else has tried this and can tell me what to use. I find it ridiculous that even the rav4 had a factory remote start that year, but I can't find one for the 4runner.

My plan B was to use the avital 4003 with a bypass module and the factory key fob. The only issue I have with this is the stupid ECU on the 4runner disables the fob once the motor starts. This means when you remote start the car it locks and then won't let you unlock it.

Everything on this car is factory perfect and it is in MINT condition. I want to keep it all as close to factory as possible which is why I won't use a system unless I can keep the factory fob. If anyone has anything that would help here I would really appreciate it.
