If you are worried about remote start then go buy a new vw. Ill take the 500,000k miles these bad tanks will give anyday over blown headgaskets that you wont be able to use your remote start on
Great vehicle- I'm at the tail end of making the deal on a 2020 Limited in my area. I will say that Fred Anderson's channel was an outstanding source in explaining all of the features between as well as showing the vehicle inside! Thank you!
I’ve had my nightshade a week and was sad coming from a Cadillac to the 4Runner because I thought it didn’t have remote start. Connected the app and just learned this about the key fob! Great videos thank you!!
Can you put a list of trims that have it in the notes? Also, can this be added to a 2020 TRD Off-Road Premium? I'm surprised it doesn't have it already.
Wow, I could’ve sworn I read the premium models with the Smart Key would have this feature. I thought the JBL head unit was only required for the Remote Connect smartphone features. That would make more sense.
What does JBL speakers have to do with anything? My 2020 4runner limited has JBL speakers and this doesn’t work. It needs to have the remote start ECU and kit installed.
Thanks so much for showing me this feature. Just bought a 2020 Limited and didn't know it would do this. One question, why does it then die when I open the driver door to get in?
It's so dumb... Built in security is fine, but give the consumer a way to shut off all the unnecessary stupid features!! I have a 2017 lexus that chimes when I open the door! I FUCKING KNOW IT'S OPEN, BECAUSE I DID IT! And no practical way to get around the dumb feature.
@@Dewdis_ I bought one, it’s a chip they add in. They were going to charge me $640 after labor. Honestly, the only difference between this and the TRDOR is the rack, the de-badge and rims. Save yourself $750 and get a full length roof rack after market. Absolutely love the 4runner though. Switched out the headlights with the Alpha Rex headlights and I get compliments everywhere I drive it.
@@youreright385 I have the venture already! Lol my first payment is due the 21st. Ok so if it’s a chip they put in, does the remote start work with the Toyota app?
@@Dewdis_ I didn’t ask about that, I would imagine it would. The Canadian version of the 4runner supposedly has all of this included, so it must be as simple as a piece of hardware they install so you can register it with the Toyota app.
Weird, so just an FYI. I recently purchased a 2020 SR5, it has remote start and I use it daily. I'm curious if you missed the button sequence on the black sr5 premium? or If the remote start is only standard on the canadian models ?
Hoping I can get some advice/assistance since you do so many reviews and videos on 4Runners. I have a 2020 4Runner Ltd, and I have purchased a carlinkit 4.0 adaptor (actually I purchased 2 of them) but I can't get it to work. I mentioned it to the dealer where I purchased the vehicle new when I recently took it in for a 35000 mile service, but they said they couldn't help since it was an after mark addition. Are you familiar with this product and can offer any assistance on why it won't work? There's only a few simple steps, and I followed them to a tee, but the adaptor won't connect. Thanks!
Why are these things so loud when they start? Other trucks/SUV’s of similar engine size/type are not nearly this loud. Is it the fan running full speed? I own a 4th Gen runner, and have always been curious. Thanks
The fact that they ALL don't have remote start us a fucking shame...! It's 2021 now, 2020 for these vehicles, but still, this should be STANDARD!! get your heads out of your asses Toyota!!! Best the competition, not give them a reason to best you!
Hey Jeff. I heard that the federal government laws wants 2020 and up model vehicle come standard alarm system includes remote start on every manufacturer along with standard rear automatic braking and forward automatic collision on every vehicle by next year. I read somewhere they wanted more vehicle to be safe in the road because too many car accident. Did you know about that Jeff? @ Fred Anderson Toyota
My 2020 4runner limited has paired up very easily to my phone IPhone 8. However, the volume when making making or receiving a phone call is so low I must use a headset. Is there a fix for this? I have already tried adjusting the volume levels on the vehicle Entune system.
Nice comparison video! I bought 2021 Venture three weeks ago and the remote start just works. It is factory stock with no extras. Is it differently configured for us here in Canada than those available in US? Curious.
I know, it's a dumb feature... I think it's because the car unlocks itself when it runs, so turning if off when you open the door may prevent theft, but dumb either way!
You know what sucks? Toyota could’ve added remote start to any model with push to start without any additional hardware but they lock it out the topper end models in 2023, when base model civics and others eco cars come with standard remote, it shows how cheap toyota is.
Remotec start is standard on most everything but you've have to get a Limited or Pro to get it. Crazy you can spend 48k for a vehicle and not get remote start🤦🏻♂️ talk about being cheap. Toyota is greedy....

What’s the point of having remote start if it’s going to turn off as soon as you hit the unlock button?
Can you put a list of trims that have it in the notes? Also, can this be added to a 2020 TRD Off-Road Premium? I'm surprised it doesn't have it already.

Just tried my TRD Off-road after watching this, it’s CRAZY it worked! And am in Canada by the way. Oh and I don’t have JBL!
I got mine 2021 sr5 premium, presses lock three times, it blinked several times; but it didn’t start.
What a shame. Literally a deal breaker for me
Super disappointed that my Off Road Premium didn't have ANY of the Remote Connect features either. We use it on my wife's Camry XSE all the time.
I have the same model too, super disappointed as well.
My SR4 premium did not have it but I added it and had the dealer install. I like it. 🤗
My 22’ TRD off road doesn’t haven’t it despite having a push button start… pretty bummed out
What does JBL speakers have to do with anything? My 2020 4runner limited has JBL speakers and this doesn’t work. It needs to have the remote start ECU and kit installed.
My SR5 Premium blinks but no start. Any advice?

Security feature. My husband's Camry does the same thing.

makes sense as theft prevention I guess
When you say that your dealership can add on the remote start to my 2020 venture, is it aftermarket or just a change in code?
Did you ever get an answer. Curious for my venture

Nice job, Jeff. And thanks for the JBL speaker tip ... never knew that!
My 2022 4runner sr5 premium it’s blinking the lights but it won’t work?
I had a 2015 SR5 Premium that had factory remote start on it, but my 2019 ORP does not. 😕
Weird, so just an FYI. I recently purchased a 2020 SR5, it has remote start and I use it daily. I'm curious if you missed the button sequence on the black sr5 premium? or If the remote start is only standard on the canadian models ?
oh, BTW i do not have the jbl speaker package.
I thought I heard somewhere that it was standard on Canadian models (I'd want to start it from inside too in the winter in Canada!)
Canadian models have better features for some reason like the dual climate control on the TRD premium. Here in the U.S mine does not have it.
i wish you can do that on SR5
How much does it cost to add remote start?
How come mine doesn’t work it does blink I have a 2021 TRD off road
Nightshade hypnotized me every time
My 22 4runner sr5 lights blink but dont start?

FFS @toyota add a dedicated button to your key fobs for remote start and make it standard across the whole line up
Thank you, Jeff! You just saved me $750!

My 2019 limited with JBL speakers doesn’t remote start.
After you remote start the Limited, do the lights stay on after the car starts? Thanks
Is this not on the 2019 nightshade? I can't get mine to work.
Does the headlight turn on/off automatically now?
Hey question Jeff question I got a 2020 TRD pro mine used to work now it no longer works is it because my 1 year warranty is up from the Toyota app!?
It's a subscription basis. After one year, you either renew it with Toyota or the feature goes away. Your glovebox owners manual books explain it all.
Does the 2021 also have this too?
They should have had it on TRD OFF Road Premium Standard
2021 sr5, flashes, but doesn't start 😕
Do all 2020 tacomas have it I bought a 2020 trd offroad I tried and after I hold it down on the 3rd push it flashes but nothing happens
Question. Why does it shut off when you open the door and have to restart? Anyway to change that? And does it wear out the starter quicker?
I know, it's a dumb feature... I think it's because the car unlocks itself when it runs, so turning if off when you open the door may prevent theft, but dumb either way!
@@vandang129 agreed
If it’s added after then is it a separate remote or reprogrammed?
Does the 2020 rav 4 xle comes with remote starter

My 2019 limited doesn’t work?
My Limited dose not work bc I don't have JBL speakers

Absolutely stupid that the engine shuts off when you open the door. This ‘feature’ needs to be disabled.
As much as these vehicles cost they should all have remote start
How much for remote start
Your looking at about 250
But it’s plug and play so you can install in yourself no problem
Does the remote start shut off when you open the door?

Toyota is so cheap to put anything luxury of $50 k suv
SUCKS! No reason remote start can't be on the other models... At least on the premiums.
