Recommended Mounting Locations

Popular locations for the push start button include beside the factory ignition cylinder, center dashboard trim, or lower switch panel area.

Recommended Features

Many RAV4 owners install Push Button Start, Remote Engine Start, Passive Keyless Entry, and Automatic Door Lock Control.

Common Installation Problems

Check main ground, fuse holder, and brake pedal signal.
