If I get Toyota remote-start for 07 Camry, will it be covered under extended warranty

[ToyotaLexus]

I'm thinking about getting the Toyota remote start system for my '07 Camry.
Since it's going to be installed by the dealer, it will be covered by the original 3yr/36k
mile vehicle warranty.

However, if I get the 7yr/100k extended warranty from Toyota, will the
remote start system be covered as well?

Thanks!

I've never seen any part added to the car be covered by an extended warranty.

So, this is stating that the remote start, if it did not come installed by the manufacturer, would have to be installed by the same dealer where the car was purchased in order to be covered under the extended warranty??

I was told by my Toyota dealer one year parts and labor on my Toyota installed remote start on both my Camry and RAV4.

I went to the dealer and asked a service advisor. He wasn't sure, so I had
him ask the service dept manager. The manager wasn't sure, so he called
Toyota.

According to Toyota's people in charge of warranty claim issues, the Toyota
extended warranty will cover the Toyota remote start system. They only
require that the system be installed by an authorized Toyota dealer and that
I keep the original receipt to show that it was installed at the dealer.

I asked the Toyota warranty people to mail me and the dealer service
manager a letter stating what they told the service manager over the
phone. This way I'll have a hard copy in case something goes wrong.
The chances of something going wrong with the remote start system
is remote.
