DEI Remote Start still require immobilizer chip?
well yeah, take it somewhere reputable. best buy circuit city ultimate electronics whatever. a place that's gonna be around in a few years, have some sort of guarantee, an insurance company to handle any damages.
Half of the repair work we perform at my best buy, was done by a local car audio shop w/ 5 locations that went down the tubes because the owner was snorting away his profits from what i've heard ;)

that is correct, take it some shop that has been around for a few years and make sure that they are liable for if they burn the brain or if some goes wrong during installation you know. even if it's a shop you know that might over charge alot but get it done the right way and the first time because this is something you don't want to mess up overall.
best buy did my 771,took about 8 hours but it was the week after christmas so they were very busy
They used the xk05 and everything still works ,the flashing starter imobilizer flashes when the car is off and turns off when a key is put in

Can you tell them to use the stock shock sensor with the one they are about to install so you have two shock sensor in two zones? BTW, where are you guys mounting the sensors? I tried doing the firewall but not much luck. And also... a hard surface of a fat harness? Hahah.
the DEI shock sensor on the 771/5900/791 is probably 50 times better than the scion security one and fully adjustable. it's kinda pointless to have two if one does the job. it's zip tied to the ignition harness in my xb and was in my tc too. worked quite well
ditto to everything that's been said
i'm an installer for best buy in american fork utah, and i've done about a million remote starts in my day, including my own and 3 other tC's of my co-workers
xk05 module is golden... requires only 1 key to program, takes 2 minutes to flash for the proper firmware, and install is pretty cake.
if you have scionsecurity there may be an extra charge, ( $18 ) at the most for them to hook up the "alarm disarm" to the keysense wire so your alarm doesn't go nuts as the car starts.
you get to keep your key, and the integrity of the immobilizer system (meaning you'll still need a key with a programmed chip to start the car)
depending on the remote start you want and how much range you're really after, i tied the "activation input" wire into my factory key, so you hit lock 3 times and shazaam. not exactly the longest range ever, but beats having a slew of key fobs in my pocket.
any other questions feel free to pm me ;)
