The other BIG thing to consider before you have it installed is what do you want it to do when the car starts as it relates to the lights? I highly recommend you tell your installer you want the parking lights to come on but NOT flash! By default, most will have them flash. It is very annoying to see flashing lights all the time while your truck is warming up or cooling off!
I will try to upload my manual so you can see some of the features. If you have any other questions, post away!

sorry to be dredging up an old thread but after doing a search for "remote start in a GX470" this one came up.
anyway, i after reading this checked ebay and came up with this RSS2514XR ASTROSTART LONG RANGE REMOTE STARTER
does anyone know if this would work in an 06 GX470?

I too have the Viper with the 1 mile range. I agree on the battery life but it works great.
I asked two dealers about remote start. One dealer did an after-market install at the dealership with a cost of around $600. The other dealer took all cars needing remote start to a small auto remote start installer and had them do the work. I cut out the middle man and took to to this company myself and saved some $. The Viper cost me around $375.
Works great and is nice to have here in New England.
