I recently made a plug and play adapter to adapt the stock RS3000 in my LX450 to an aftermarket keyless/alarm system. This is just a prototype, but if there is enough interest, I would be willing to make more and sell them.
These should work on all LX450's. Many FZJ80s also came with the RS3000 system, but the pin out locations for the connectors are DIFFERENT - EVEN THOUGH THE CONNECTORS ARE THE SAME!!! - CRAZY, I know. The same goes for some other models of Toyota. There are at least 3 versions (probably more) of the RS3000 box that look identical with different pin outs. I would be willing to make other versions of this kit for those if someone were to help me get the pin out and wire colors on their vehicle. The RS3000 systems were mostly port installed and aren't included in many factory wiring diagrams. PM if you are willing to do this and I will trade you a free prototype when it gets made.
Anyways, my keyless entry range was not great with some aftermarket replacement remotes I had purchased. I tried extending the antenna etc, but it just wasn't reliable. I didn't want to cut up the harness to install aftermarket keyless/alarm so I made a pnp adapter to adapt an aftermarket system. I used a Viper 3100vx. I liked that the remotes were very simple.
One of the male connectors needed to mate to the factory harness under the driver's seat is no longer in production so I had to get crafty and put male pins in the correct pattern with no housing. This isn't ideal, but works great. The other connector wasn't a problem.
The other side has a terminal block connector that the aftermarket alarm wires to. That terminal block connector then plugs into the board making it easy to wire on the bench.
Full unit ready to be plugged in under the driver's seat.
All original features work. It even has the option of using the factory dash LED and a button on the board that can replace the aftermarket valet button (not required, but optional).

. but it IS getting old unlocking the doors, just to open the hatch. or having to walk to the hatch to first open it, then walk back to the front to lock the truck, then back to the hatch to remove my stuff before closing it 
. i could use the key in the trunk cylinder but it doesn't trigger the doors for some Toyota reason?
