Get a full new aftermarket alarm with it built in, i think clifford do something like that.

But be careful to check with your insurance company, because to work it will have to have a bypass on the immobiliser system and your insurance company my look dimly on that.

I used to have one on my old honda and i used it a few times to scare the crap out of people lol ... on a serious note though i do miss the ability to warm up the car on a cold day with out having to be in the car!

If you are to get 1, ensure it's the clifford one, Intellistart model.. This will also work on Manual gear cars.

Also the chip in the key will eed to be bypassed as said above.

All other brands of remote start are not worth the effort, I promise you.

A while back I think someone posted that there was a proper Toyota remote starter for the Altezza, and they were going to try installing that.

Basically don't. If you wondered why NO car manufacturers fit this when it is so simple; it is because it is seriously illegal in the UK, EU and most of the rest of the planet. It is hard to find a way to break so many regulations without the car even moving, and it is potentially dangerous - all unless the car is used only on private ground and more than 10 meters from the highway. Even then, if it caused an accident, both driving and possibly the car could become just a fond memory for a long time. The law requires you to be in attendance of a vehicle at all times the engine is running. That is also a condition of your driving license. When you break these your insurance is invalid. Add on that it is an offence to supply, fit or cause to be fitted such devices you can see how the trouble just piles up. Not worth it to impress the easily impressed.
