Yes the 2008 FJ has engine immobilizer (the key has to be programed to start the truck). 2007 does not have this (you cut a key it starts truck). Most aftermarket auto start systems take a valet key mount it some where under dash if it is mounted to close to immobilizer it can cause some problems. If the truck will start with out turning on check engine light when not using auto start then auto start is messing with neutral safety switch. If neutral safety switch is problem then it will be a problem when start truck with or with out auto start. Sounds like you need to get auto start installer to see if they will disable auto start or take it off and drive for a week and see if you have any problems if no problems then it must be auto start.

Interesting thought on the key, they described this system as such that a device reads the codes from all of the keys that I have, and that the module will cycle the codes and be able to start the vehicle. No key was sacraficed to the install and I still have all three keys from the dealer. But what would happen if the vehicle saw the same code from the security module as the code read from the actual key put in the ignition?
The lights only come on when the vehicle has been auto started and come on at the point when I put the key in the ignition and the auto start regognizes that I have pressed the brake pedal. First the check engine light comes on, then the moment I take it out of Park the rest of lights come on and the Traction control disables.
