Our verdict

The FTI-TLXO-3 is for Toyota and Lexus push-start vehicles with the FTI-TLP4 T-harness: after a remote start, the engine normally shuts off when you open the door, and with this you can get in and drive away. It plugs into the FTI-TLP4, so it’s only worth buying with one, on its own or in the TLP4-CMX-BLADEAL kit. Happy to press the start button once you’re in? Skip it: the cabin is already warm either way.

On a remote-started Toyota or Lexus with push-button start, the engine normally shuts off when you open the door. A take-over harness keeps it running, so you can get in and drive away. Check your vehicle below: it’s Firstech’s own list.

  • Plugs into the FTI-TLP T-harness (not included)

The details

The Firstech FTI-TLXO-3 is a take-over harness for push-button start Toyota, Lexus and Scion vehicles with the FTI-TLP4 T-harness. After a remote start, the engine normally shuts off when you open the door. With the FTI-TLXO-3, it keeps running, so you can get in and drive away.

This is an add-on, not a standalone part. It plugs into the FTI-TLP4, so you need that harness too, on its own or in the TLP4 kit.

Vehicles it fits

  • Toyota: 4Runner (2010–2019), Avalon (2013–2018), Camry and Camry Hybrid (2012–2017), Corolla (2014–2019), Prius C (2012–2019), RAV4 (2013–2018), Sienna (2011–2020)

Push-button start versions only. This is Firstech’s own list for the FTI-TLP4, which this plugs into, from their installer lookup. Trims and options can change what’s needed, so check your exact vehicle in the list near the top of this page, or text us your year, make and model.

What else you need

  • T-harness: the FTI-TLP4.
  • Controller: a Compustar CM-X (FT-CMX-HC), the one in our kits.
  • Bypass: an iDatalink BLADE-AL flashed with DL-TL2 or DL-TL6 firmware, depending on the vehicle.

It’s easiest to fit the take-over harness at the same time as the T-harness, so the same panels only come off once.

We install it at our Markham shop or on-site in the GTA, with our lifetime installation warranty. Book an install. Doing it yourself? The harness plugs into the vehicle’s own connectors, but expect to make a few connections too. Text us your year, make and model with any questions.

Testimonials

  • Exceptionally Helpful

    They were exceptionally helpful despite me going down the DIY route having never installed a remote starter before. There was no T harness kit available for my vehicle which led to a few questions which they thankfully were very helpful with. Mission remote start was successful and I'm super pleased.

  • 10 out of 10

    I would recommend Lockdown security 10 out of 10 times. Leo and his team were professional, fast acting and provided excellent service. I am very happy with my remote starter.

  • Responsive, Easy to Use

    Have been using Lockdown Security for years. Just ordered the fifth remote starter from them and installed myself. Their website is easy to use and intuitive. They are responsive and more than willing to answer questions for the DIY customers. Would strongly recommend to anyone looking to purchase a remote starter.

Common questions

Will it fit my vehicle?

Check your vehicle in the list near the top of this page. It’s Firstech’s own list for this harness, from their installer lookup, and every vehicle we have a page for links to it with our pick. Not listed? Search by vehicle, or text us your year, make and model.

Is the remote starter included?

No. This is the T-harness only. It needs a Compustar controller (CM-X, CM9S, CM9L, CM7 or CM900) and an iDatalink BLADE-AL bypass. What it works with shows both, and the kit that has all three in one box.

Should I buy the kit or the harness on its own?

If you don’t have a Compustar controller yet, get the kit: the CM-X, the BLADE-AL and this harness together, with the BLADE-AL flashed for your vehicle before it ships. The harness on its own is for when you already have the controller and bypass, or need to replace a harness.

What firmware does the BLADE-AL need?

It’s under What it works with, from Firstech’s data for this harness. Buying the BLADE-AL or the kit from us? Tell us your year, make and model and we flash it before it ships.

What’s a take-over harness?

An add-on for the FTI-TLP2, FTI-TLP3 and FTI-TLP4 on Toyota and Lexus push-start vehicles. It keeps the engine running when you get in and drive away after a remote start. It plugs into the T-harness, so you need both.

Do you install it?

Yes, at our Markham shop or on-site in the GTA, with our lifetime installation warranty. Book an install.

Do you ship across Canada?

Yes. Shipping is free on orders over $200, and $10 under that.

Not sure it fits?

Text us your year, make and model and we’ll confirm the right harness before you order.
