I made a terrible decision buying this. I sunk $500+ on the kit plus installation. My local car audio/alarm shop did an excellent job installing - the problem lies in the product itself.Where do I begin?The first fob quit responding just a couple months into using it. I then switched to the secondary fob which worked decently for a few more months, but then stopped triggering lock/unlock/remote start as quickly as you would expect it to. Not to mention it will drain the fob batteries every 3 months.Now the unlock button is completely broken and will not unlock at all. I have to manually unlock the door which sets off the alarm (silently, might I add, because the audible speaker does not sound the alarm anymore). Then when I get in my truck it holds me hostage until I get the correct number of presses on the receiver that sticks to the windshield. I still have no clue how many button presses it is, I just have to keep pushing the button and moving the key from ACC to ON until it finally starts the truck. What a waste. It was nice having remote start and a sensitive alarm while it lasted. I’m headed back to the OEM Toyota fob with my head down and a hole in my pocket. Seriously, save your money.

Was a pain to install because it’s not easy finding schematics online to control everything. I actually opened the box and put off installing for a few months because of this. The guide in the box is only helpful if you know exactly what you’re doing and what wires you need to go after and whether those wires are + or - and beings it’s made to be universal I found there’s an absurd amount of wired I didn’t actually need. I used 6 out of the 24 pin harness.But it is a nice unit I tried starting my truck over half a mile away (in sight) and I saw it light up and start. Was impressed. I know it says to have dealer installed but if you have really done homework on your vehicles wiring harness and know a little about wiring you’ll be fine.

Haven't finished installing it yet, but wanted to say it takes a lot of work if you're a novice at this type of installation. Being able to follow wires and schematics and understanding relay concepts is NECESSARY. Just a general understanding of electronics is necessary. I'm installing on an 81 Corvette with power locks and windows. Connecting the remote start even though they're tricky for carbureted cars.There isn't a detailed manual in the box, but a google search can yield a couple of results. The 5701 manual has good descriptions of the same wires in this kit. DIRECTED also have a consolidated installation guide for the 5906, 5706, 5806,and 5606 systems online. The both of them should give you all the information you need to install....if you have the electronics know how. Personally, I would say take it to an installer.EDIT: If you're determined to install this yourself, here are some notes:1) use diodes on the door trigger wires with the cathode on the alarm side and the anode on the door jamb switch side.2) If you run into a programming problem where the alarm module and command center don't respond to programming, disconnect the door trigger wire (green or violet) and put it to ground. Programming should then work. Dont know why, but it does.3) After making some connection adjustments, for some reason the alarm had to be reset to factory settings and then reprogrammed. Minimum work, but I'm not totally sure why it was necessary. The remote controller doesn't require this step.4) In my install, A total of 10 relays were used; 4 for the door lock switch and motor, 4 for power window automation, 1 for horn honk output, and another for my push start button.5) create multiple reachable ground points by drilling holes into the frame and inserting a screw/bolt and a washer and nut.6) Get yourself an automotive terminal/fuse box with about 10 circuits/connections. The one I have has LED indicators on each circuit. Got it from Amazon. It's great if you're needing multiple 12V feeds. However, if you use on a wire that already already has a fuse holder attached, you have to remove the fuse holder by cutting it off to make a straight wire- otherwise, if you leave it on then connect it straight to the positive terminal on the batteryThought I had a bad unit, but after a multitude of fiddles, all used connections work- well I haven't remote started yet but I'm pretty confident it at least try to crank.FYI: Insanity sounds did not respond to my email when i thought my unit was bad.

For a DIY installer (but my third alarm/remote start), be warned this is not for the faint of heart!! The process of installing is not unlike any other remote start/alarm combo...ignition wire 1, 2, accessory, ground, siren in engine bay.... however where this system will leave you in the dark is a detailed description of exactly what all the pins and wires DO. It's only half the battle to understand what wires are what in your vehicle, you also need to understand the system and what connections are required to operate properly. This is where a system like this, primarily marketed towards dealers, will leave you holding the bag. A quick start install guide is included, but basically only gives a name for each wire, and how to program keyfobs and features. Online forums are your friend, and be prepared to spend AT LEAST an entire day mapping wires to you vehicle and application.All in all, very reliable, quality product. Happy with range, and vast amount of install versatility it provides. But if you're simply looking to add a system for a friend or family member who doesn't care about brand or features, save yourself some headache and go with a more consumer oriented brand (crime stopper, etc)7/7/2015 UPDATE:System has been working great - I put my first set of batteries in a month ago, so 6 months worth of life from the factory batteries - note bad. Once they start going the alarm becomes very annoying - it didn't actually die, I just got tired of hearing the low-battery warning!Range is phenomenal - in fact I just stopped what I was doing to comment on this. I'm on the 14th floor of a library - my truck is a good 15 walk from the library. Cloudy day (which does help), and NOT line-of-site, but received confirmation lock on my first keypress holding it up to the nearest window. Awesome!
