As most of you know, it's been very difficult to get a remote start to work in the 08 and mine has been a bear. I've been to 2 installers, (one had it 1 week, the other 2 days), neither could program the module without it defaulting back. One tried the Compustar and the other an Autostart. Relays were used, and numerous other tweaks tried to no avail. Does anyone know of a model which works and any info needed to correctly program the bypass info??? Thanks!
I don't know if you've found a solution but I just installed a remote starter on my 2005 Prius and it works great. Remote Starter: Autostart 1755 Bypass Module: idatalink ADS-TBSL KO Plus two relays, one resistor and 4 diodes. Here's note regarding the Idatalink: Of course mine is 2005 but dpoole34 profile's shows a 2008 and it works for both of us. hope this help a bit if it's not too late.
