Thanks for sharing this, I got a rav 4 recently and was searching all over for how to turn on auto lock. I have to disagree with your statement about no Toyotas in the US having auto lock. My last car was a 2006 Toyota Corolla (purchased in Los Angeles at a normal Toyota dealership) and the doors would automatically lock after 2 minutes if all the doors were closed. I loved it because I didn’t have to worry about forgetting if I locked my doors, though I did get my keys locked in the car once or twice because of it.
Hi Steve, I have a question about why Toyota has hard time getting a second key done. I have bought a 2024 crown limited in February of this year still waiting on a second key they told me they don’t have the programming for those key fobs, could you highlight something or talk about something why Toyota is having such a hard time appreciate it
Your dealer is not lying to you. This key situation is extremely frustrating and I wish I could share more about it, but I can't. I hope to have more info before the end of this month, but I can't guarantee it.
Thank you for clarifying!!! Ive had so many issues w toyota locking systems. This helps but I don’t know if ill stay with a Toyota in the future. They have a lot of non user friendly features.
After owning two MDXs and trading one of them for a Venza, we found out this feature wasn't there. We have owned Toyotas in the past but that's a while back. It's an excellent feature to have but my wife is happy so am I.
I have a question about locking: I live in a state that gets snow. I keep my snow brush in the back seat, brush off the snow, put it back and go wherever. I know that when I finish my trip, lock the car and walk away, the car beeps a bunch of times to remind me to check the back seat. But if I walk away and do not open the back door again, is the car still locked? Thanks for your helpful videos!
I searched this because my Toyota keeps locking itself and freaking me out. I’ve had the car 6 months and this is the first time I’ve stumbled on this feature. …I was checking out my 2nd key fob earlier today.
I read on a reddit forum that dealer can enable the auto lock (walkaway) feature using Techstream, Carly or Carista. Is that true? I don't know what Techstream is.
@@rohitagl nope. I did another video on this and there is no option in Techstream to do it. Techstream is what the technicians use to plug into the car at a Toyota dealer
My fj cruiser will lock its self after a few mins. The key could be on my seat or in my house, but if i left the key in the inigition it won't auto lock
This is not necessarily true. My 2024 Tacoma locks its own front doors when I leave it alone. It lockes whether the key is in the truck or in my pocket. Funny, but it only locks the front two doors. So I have to crawl in the back door and search for my key in the console. I don't want the truck to ever lock automatically. Anyone have advice?
Thank you so much for explaining this!!! I had a Cadillac before and this setting has been driving me nuts.
Helpful video. Just got a 2024 Tacoma, previously owned a Honda and was trying to figure out why my Toyota wasn’t auto locking. Welp. lol.
Had a 2018 civic, it was a baseline ex and it had the walk away feature. As compared to my 2024 Tacoma TRD Sport Premium Package which doesn’t🤣🥲
Same, but I came from a Dacia Duster with a flawless keyless system

Yeah this is absurd

Well that's useful, I was sure I was just missing a configuration setting somewhere.
So I won't bother looking any more.

My 2019 Toyota Yaris locked itself when I walked away. I just traded in for a 2024 RAV4 and miss that feature so much 😢
Me too

Dang.......2024 Rav4 Owner.....Love the SUV but Technology has out ran Me.....Thanks for Ur help Steve.....;).......
Thank you for explaining, Steve. I thought there was an issue with my car :P
Well Toyota sucks for not doing that.
Shut up poor
I like Toyotas precisely for that - not having redundant features.

Yes. The car is still locked. Here's a video I did on the back set reminder: th-cam.com/video/Ly-Gj54P3oA/w-d-xo.html
Yes many Toyotas 2010 Corolla does lock itself when you walk away.

Grand Highlander has dealer customization Power Back Door 'Walk-Away'
I came here to say this. It has to do with the rear lift gate I believe.

Well that is a missed function that should be standard, disappointing.

The Toyota tundra with remote engine start but when you approach and open the door the engine will stop.😂
My prius locks itself in about 20 seconds when you get out and walk away with the key
You must be outside the United States. That is not a feature in the US.
@@TrainerSteveClifford ahh forgot about that lol
@@BassxWR I often have to remind myself that Toyota specs and features do have international borders. LOL. Thanks for watching and commenting!
well--so there is a way 2 do it then--just usa doesnt have the codes???
@@PurpleMeowKitty guess so, due to certain laws and regulations
Thank u.
Yeah i got mine on 30 sec
Not exactly true, my toyota rav4 2017 locks itself if left unlocked and parked.
