- Winter is upon us here in the Bipolar state of Ohio and I have always wanted a remote start system for a vehicle, what better rig to install it on than my 2011 Toyota Prius Camper! The remote start system that I chose uses the factory key fob and plugs into the OBD2, you can buy it from the affiliate link here: amzn.to/38T0Nvm It is a very straight forward setup and all of the frustrations in this video were caused by my impatient mistakes!
Special thanks to my good friend Josh for stopping by and hooking me up with a set of WeatherTech rain guards! amzn.to/34G9FRT He also struggled with the install but at the end of the day we got it done and everything turned out fantastic!

So glad it’s not just me that starts what should be a 30 minute job, and ends up taking all day. Well done for preserving. I’d have given up and taken it to a dealer!
It happens to the best of us.
This video just saved my life! Installing the exact same unit on a 2012 CT200h and everything behind the dash looks identical, but there are NO videos installing on a CT. Thanks a bunch!
Cant wait to see what else you do to the "Pri-us" (in my Papa Klev voice). Loving the daily vlogs. Much appreciated.
I appreciate you Charles!👊🏻😎
Good job pointing things out. Just finished my 2010. Thanks
If you had a car back in the 90s and early 2000s and you had an aftermarket alarm installed, as most did, you would remember the names like Viper, Python or Clifford... they were all made by Directed Electronics.
Great job awesome video thank you
Glad you figured it out
Me too.
I know ur pain. I’ve literally done the same thing replaced a sensor that was giving a check engine code then got the dreaded triangle of death. All because I didn’t click the orange plug over lol. I’m gonna have to find this remote start on Amazon now. Looks awesome man.
Y'all killing me but you get her done.
Solder is your best friend lol but it's coming together man I like it! Little tip if you need more range on the remote start hold it up to your head the water in it amplifies the singal even further. Try it out! Or you can use a gallon of water
I really need to get a decent soldering kit. I’ve actually been doing that quite often and it works! My girlfriend doesn’t believe it lol.
I'm still rockin a 7 dollar solder kit from walmart, it's nothing close to fancy but that and some heat shrink has been gettin me by until I grab a weller. I think Alexis just might be jealous she doesnt have a remote start tesla truck lol
Seeing all that Harley stuff gives me hope that it’s in your DNA!!! There’s hope for you yet!
Thats his dads place i believe
Yes it is....that’s why I mentioned DNA! His dad and mom have Harleys....and Groms!
Soon enough my friend!
Just ordered one hope it goes in as easy .
Good luck my friend! Pretty straight forward.
"Quoperate"- my new favorite word 😂
Way to hang in there!
I have garage envy.
Just curious, you didn’t mention needing to disconnect the traction battery when you initially disconnected the 12V. Did you do that later or why did the orange connector need to be tightened? Thanks for the video.
I like how you keep the drone shot with all the bikes at the end of every video even tho you sold most of the bikes man I think you should make another drone shot of what bikes you really own as new people to your channel think you own all of them lol
I’ll have a better Outro / Intro someday😂
Hello Ohio! I'm from Ohio too! Good job on video! ...yep I could never go on a Prius form, I didn't buy a Prius (cause I think I'm ignorantly saving the planet) ..I bought one cause I have to travel so far to visit family, and it pays me to drive it! ..not to mention Toyota's will get 400,000 miles without batting an eye if you take care of it! ...I've never heard anyone call it a Pri-Use! lol
I'm right there with ya!
Way to go , hanging in there to get it done . What is the part #and where did you get it ?
See you tomorrow. YeeYee.
You can buy an antenna kit with remotes pretty cheap if you need more range. Directed has pretty good products, the DS4+ is the mack daddy
Any links to antenna kits?
@@AdventureDaily I'm assuming you have the Directed DB3 ? If that's the case you'll need an XL202 , it's an xpresskit product. Then you can buy an assortment of remotes, one button to four button. An example would be Automate 9115A ( contains two remote, antenna, and antenna cable) this particular one is a one button for remote start only but you can buy the four button remotes for long range keyless entry too. I work for Ziebart Indianapolis, we have stores in Ohio probably close to you. They could help you with any questions, and for products although it would be much cheaper to order yourself. It all comes with instructions for programming and it's pretty simple
Your boy wearing Roman Atwood’s hat lol
& Edbassmaster shirt I support my favorite youtubers
Is it compatible with Gen4 prius ? and whether the installation is the same on all prius cars?
I just discovered your channel and you are making me want to make some mods to my 2012 “Tesla” lol! Thanks for sharing
Do you have a part number or link to the system on amazon? I can't seem to find one with the simple 3 wire install. Love the comment about not buying a prius for the environment, I got one for me and my wife because we were tired of spending $400+ a week in fuel driving our trucks to and from work.
Also you say only 3 wires but is there also a direct plug into part of the cars harness that I see when you are zip tying everything up?
Did you download the firmware before installing? The Amazon reviews mention having to "flash" the product to the particular car model. Apparently, only authorized dealers with registered companies can log into the company's website and download this flash firmware.
as a Toyota Technician those remote starts are nice but the range really sucks as it uses the factory fobs and they don't got the best range.
I’m going to try and boost the range somehow.
@@AdventureDaily have you increased the range on it ?
So I know it’s been a while since you didn’t this but I wanted to see if you’re still happy with this? Looking to do this on my wife’s car for Christmas.
Still works fantastic, no complaints here.
Hi. I bought mine, that is exactly like yours, off of Amazon. It didn't come with instructions. Can you please send me a link to get instructions for my device. Thanks.
Any idea what's wrong with mine? I followed the exact steps you did. Including following the diagram and only connected the red connector to the module. Although yours 2nd wire was green. Mine was blue. It's the one right next to on the right side of the purple.
The light on the module isn't turning green when I key on
Did you also connect the blue? For the obd is that why? Lol if you did that might be why mine didn't work
Will that work in a 2009?
Love the videos
Thank you Lasse! A little bit of everything to be honest. CZcams is my career though.
Attention Deficit I thought you were a part time male stripper?! 😉
Not sure why you needed to pull the 220V battery safety plug at the back, since most of the stuff you are dealing with the remote start installation is worked up around 12 VDC in the front of the car?
What was the brand of Rain Guard? They seem more secure than what I have. have a set, but they are the stick on kind and I don’t like that. So, they are in the garage still.
I'd like to know, too. What brand? 2017 Prius Prime here. I bought rain guards from Weathertech --- one didn't last a week. My Toyota dealer said their Parts Department stopped selling them due to Customer Complaints.
@@teresaforsyth6185 same thing happened to me. Oye rear guard flew off somewhere.. grrrr.
Put some oil on your hatchback hinges it drives me nuts every time you open that
I’ve never even noticed it lol.
what is the range of your remote statrt ? thanks
directed good stuff
What was the steps that made it worked right
Hooking everything up correctly as I showed the first time lol. I unplugged some things putting the panels back on.
When you open the door and it shuts off do the lights flash 3-4 times and make a clicking noise?
Also I installed it correctly with t-taps and the ODBS NEEDS to be connected too all together it took me about 30 minutes.
Yes!
Has anyone installed this on 2008 Toyota Prius
Why didn’t you solider and heat shrink that electric start module man it would of took you 20 minutes or so and it’s a 100% better connection lol
I’ll solder it when there’s a problem😂
Need some bike content 😔
Soon enough my friend.
@@AdventureDaily did you sub to my lil channel ? CZcams won't give me notifications when ppl do
Make sure you get yourself a portable barbecue for those environmentalists 😂👍🔥
Will do😂
THERES STILL A MAIN BATTERY
I KNOW
My grandma had 2 Prius’s
how dare you
😂👌🏻
