Welcome!

An yes there are aftermarket options. Also a lot of people complain about the factory remote start because it shuts off the vehicle when you open the door. I don't have experience with the Toyota stuff but my Dad's GM vehicles always stay running when the door is opened. Good luck with your search.

 

I have oem..works great despite the door safety shut down feature.

 

Does aftermarket stay running when the doors open?

 

I have a Compustar and it stays running with the doors open.

 

If you have the push to start button, they shut off when you open the door. If you have a key (G-Key), it will stay running.

I just installed the accessoride remote start; very easy and completely plug and play install.

 

I have the '18 SR5 and had the dealer install my remote upon delivery. The vehicle does not shut down upon opening the door it does lock the doors which I can live with but the vehicle does not shut off. That was a must (I didn't want that either) and made sure to ask them before installing. There is much cheaper out there I'm sure but being brand new off the lot I guess I just felt better keeping it "all Toyota" even though it isn't a "Toyota" remote but you know what I mean. I also have the Compustar in my Honda (aftermarket) they seem to both work fine. Shop around and try to go with better quality and a quality install don't skimp on something like a remote.
