Can someone post a wiring diagram for the ECU, I am having trouble locating a tach wire that is easy to get to. I tried to route it through the firewall and it worked well but I could not close the diagnostic port after. I would like to get a wire off of the ECU that works so if anyone knows the color offhand I am willing to try. Thanks for the help!

I am so darn close to finishing I can taste it.

I finally got it all to work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :xmas3:

I will try to write something up so others do't have to go through the same 2 day battle I did. This install was not for the faint at heart and when you are done you are pretty much able to hotwire your own vehicle blindfolded.

It was a bit tougher for me cause I looked for other pics or info about someone else doing something similar on a 4runner but it seems like everyone just takes it to an electronics place and has them do it. If you are squeemish about ripping the entire dash apart, then by all means have someone else do it for ya. Routing the wires was a major PITA but once they were all run it really came out nice and the rest seemed to fly. The cold was miserable but I felt pretty good when it all worked.

Also this website rocks for alarm install info:

Several times it got me out of hot water!

Here are the pics I promised!!!!!


Alarm as it came out of the box



The old alarm install was a mess



Putting in the remote starter part (relays galore!)



Look at all the soldering fun I had




Here is a look just before I buttoned it up



I wish I could have taken more pics but I froze my a$$ off putting it in so that was the best i could do under the circumstances. There are some more pics at webshots so take a look here if you want to see everything I took:

If anyone needs help figuring out their install give me a holler.
Thanks to all who helped with the wiring diagrams and cheat sheets!
