Welcome to Advanced Keys
So far i have mix feelings after getting it. The finishing touch isn't very good.... for instance the new slim push start is just a momentary switch, it doesn't feel rugged as the oem or even the known knock off that's available today, so I won't be using it. And also the key fob feels quite cheap compared to my current unit, it "might" be possible to program it to accept my old one but don't hold your breath on that. I'm going to try to negotiate with them again about improving the fob and given the option on the push start.
Now from what i've been discussing with their Rep. the new unit has a secondary ignition stop if all else fails, im assuming it will work better than my last one as it hangs if the car stalled. The kit is made for automatics but i have ways to make it work safely for manuals. Use the remote start at your own risk, there is enough horror stories with mr2's running away because the owner leaves it parked in gear.
This kit will be vital to my setup when i remove the stock steering column for the lexus one as the ignition arm will not line up with the mr2 trim.
Whats in the kit?
Similar to the AK104 but has a shock sensor included to it. I'm to lazy to go over it so just check their page, there is also an input for the auto windows if you have a module for it
Smart key
Here you can see how it compares to my current unit. it's very plastic'y so it's not quite as nice, this will get beat up so it may not matter but im a guy who like his bling. There you see the bypass card in case you accidentally leave your keys in the car. From what i gather it's just lets you in the car but won't start the car as it would need the fob to do that
Push start hardware
From the top the long aftermarket push start from my previous kit on the left and the prius oem push start on the right
The bottom you see the optional ignition key cap and the slim momentary button. As you can see im not very fond of it
