41.22 wireless kill switch install on Tacoma Hybrid

[SnowmanJPS]

Nobody has any info on putting a kill switch on these new trucks and with a hint from 41.22 reminding me fuse taps exist I got to work installing my kill switch, I’m super happy with the result, minus putting a wood screw through a piece of plastic trim.. but whatever

I tapped into the 10amp fuse for the S-Horn which is 12v constant, ran the ground to the bolt holding the front side of the fuse box down and I used the reverse relay out of the box (there’s two relays) it replaces the only purple relay in the fuse box, it's labelled ST for starter relay, I'm keeping the original relay in the truck just in case

I ran the excess wires into the fuse box and out through the side, the cover still fits without modification but its slightly cranky about it

all in all it could be a cleaner install but I can’t see it with the hood closed

After I got my Tacoma back from being stolen I ordered one of these too but haven’t gotten to installing it.
How is it? Do you think it could get wired to one of the blanks on the dash?

I'm sure you could do that, I'm not that skilled, I bought the wireless version so I just click a button to turn the relay on and off

I just installed one in my truck bit it wasn't as efficient as this. I'll have to rewire mine.

I’ve done it on my non hybrid and I’ve really enjoyed it. Here is an install video if you want to check it out.

Might be a dumb question, but what happens if you try and start the truck with the relay open? Will it attempt to start and then trigger a CEL, or just refuse to crank? I wonder if kill switches are more likely to trigger fault codes on modern, less analog cars.

I show that in the video. The truck won’t start but it does have power to the auxiliaries. It doesn’t trigger and engine codes. It’s pretty slick.

Thanks for the reply, apparently I should have watched the video! That's great news, I was worried it would not handle an attempted start gracefully.

I had trouble with mine on a 24 SR5. Starter would keep running. Ran through all troubleshooting. Took forever to get a reply to a return email, took forever to respond to receiving package, ended up having to file a dispute with credit union to get my money back. Happy it works for most.

Which relay did you use? That is a strange issue, they seem quite helpful, chargeback seems overkill in this situation

Both. The reverse one worked. Overkill maybe, but when I get responses at one week intervals I don’t play. Like I said, happy it works for a lot of people and they seem solid, but it wasn’t my experience.

I installed mine a few months ago on my hybrid. super easy routing power to the battery with the accessory boot in the firewall. Went with a wireless unit, stoked. The only gripe is the wireless fob is made from 3D printed material vs. a traditional impact plastic on a regular fob. One of my 41.22 fobs has fallen apart at its closure nodes

Have you emailed them to see if they can send a replacement housing?

I don’t understand this product. I mean I understand how it works and what it does. But why does anyone want to carry around a second remote when buying the wireless one.

here in Canada where vehicle theft is a big deal, what thief’s do is capture your keys RFID frequency and then they are able to start your truck. so what stops a thief from just capturing the signal from your OE key frequency and the one on this 41-22 unit. You can be sure the frequency on the 4122 will be less sophisticated than the OE frequencies allowing a thief to just capture it as well and reproduce it.

as for putting the switch in and hiding it, yeah okay better idea, but still… follow the wire and you’ve found it quickly.

while it is some security I’d want something more robust - at least here in Canada you’d need something more robust.

Thank you for a great video.
I bought a cheaper Kill Switch and screwed it all up.
I would like to get this one, even a klutz like me could install it, BUT, there is a serious problem.
My Tacoma is the 24 Trailhunter with no alternator, and the battery is under the rear driver's side seat.
I would have to penetrate the firewall, and I think I read somewhere that there is a hole by the false pedal.
I will contact the company to see if their wire will reach back there.
Again, really nice of you to do this.
