One reviewer says that Toyota and Lexus vehicles will turn off when the door is opened. Can this be confirmed before purchase or is this only confirmed after installation? I have a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser that shows to be a compatible vehicle. Thank you! null

Sounds like they installed wiring to wrong kill switch, Toyota might have similar wiring harness on doors as starting mechsnism. My first install they wired heating and cooling wiring system incorrectly and AC would not start unless I had the key ignition.
So I'd take it back to installer have him check his connections

Yes, my 2011 Lexus ES350 will turn off when any door is opened. This is not a real inconvenience, if you desire this remote to start to cool your car in the summer before you get in or heat your car in the winter. This is a very good remote starter.

I had this car starter installed on my 2019 Rav4 and when I open the drivers door it DOES shut down.  Excellent in these days with all the car thefts.  Excellent product.

Some vehicle's OEM keyless entry modules shut down when the vehicle is running. So to unlock the doors, the engine must stop. 
Occasionally, the remote start makers can find a "work a round".....but sometimes they cant. the process is called a Take Over.
