Really, really loving the channel so far! With each video you are getting incrementally better. Your fit/finish, editing, voice inflection, etc. is really getting good. Very impressive! Looking forward to more content in the future. Ever consider reviewing other cars?
Supposedly if you hold the lock button, click the unlock button twice, & wait for the blinking lights to go off on the key it cuts the frequencies in the key. Intended to save battery life on the key. Not sure if it could be cloned or not with this method though.
I have one of the best theift control features in the 21 century actually 2 first my tacoma has a key that I take with me plus I also have a manual transmission I've gone to places with valet parking 50 year old men tell me your going to have to park this I can't drive it even if I go to my Toyota dealership the people on the desk can't even pull it up some mechanics can fix them but can't drive them all I have ever owned in my life was a manual I learned to drive at 12 in my father's 10 speed box truck I could barely reach the peddles and his temper a kick in my leg when I made a mistake I learned fast he had a tractor trailer licence he got in the marines and kept it untile retirement the man could turn that rig around on a dead end street with cars on both sides I don't know to this day how he did it.
"Hold lock and press unlock twice." This DISABLES the constant attempt to communicate with the vehicle. No additional purchase required, no discount code required.
@TRDTalk Once you disable, it stays that way. Until you reactivate it. Plus side, fob has longer battery life 🔋. Con, No more put your hand on the door handle to lock or unlock. Each fob have to be disabled individually.
The range is so short on these key fobs, you need to be within a few feet to open/start. i couldn't start my car when i left the fob 10 feet away. Sounds more like a sales pitch than an actual issue.
Should have noted this in my video but the issue is also that your signal is still on and there are now devices out there to amplify the signal in key fobs. The concern is the signal being active, not just the signals distance.
Definitely not a sales pitch. Look up relay auto theft. Most people put there keys near their front door. The thieves know that, so they hold up a repeater/amplifier to your front door. A second thief stands near the car to open your car door and start it up. And boom...they're off.
That was the first accessory I got for my Tacoma!
Thanks for sharing.
Good call haha thanks for stopping by

Appreciate that brother! Means a lot. I’m still learning the ropes but trying to convince the wife to get a 4 Runner so I can spin up more content 😂

Interesting! I definitely don’t trust myself to remember to do that each time 😂 Thanks for checking it out!
Haha very true, I just saw a yt video on someone showing hidden features.
Hope the neck heals up show man ! 🤙🏽
@@GuapDab thanks brother!
This is what I do. Easy peasey.
^^^^ Same here. At home overnight & if in parking lots. Only takes a moment. It probably saves on your battery as it isn't searching for your vehicle.
Thank you so much for the great video! Great info! Gonna get one of these!
Thanks for checking it out Derek!
The jeep gladiator sport still has a key start
Jealous
If you hold the lock button and press the unlock button twice it shuts off the fob. Press any button and it turns it back on.
Def works, i’ll just never remember to do it 😂
