- Finally Toyota is updating the Remote connect remote start system to stay running when you open or unlock the door. It looks like things are changing soon! Remote connect and drive off is the name of the new option.

They said that the new Crown will be the first with the new system. The patch will be available first for the new head unit meaning 22 and 23 tundra, 23 Sequoia and 23 highlander. They said the patch is too large to be an over the air update and they are trying to make it small enough where they can send it over the air but it may be something you need to have updated at the dealership when available. It should be coming really soon and I will do a update when I have a better idea of the timeline.
Nice! Just got the 2023 Highlander.
Will this apply to a 2022 Toyota 4runner limited?
Would definitely love to have this for my 2022 Tundra before we get into the heart of winter here in the northeast. Hoping they push this out the door soon even if it means a trip to the dealer to flash the update.
@@sjnavarrete Did it cost you two arms, two legs and anything else they couldn't get out of you? Just kidding 🙂. I bought a 2023 Camry and they ripped me off BIG TIME. I guess it is the new normal.
I have a 2023 Tacoma, any news if this has happened?
Most honest car salesperson if have seen on Utube
Thank you
Thanks for the update. This great news. Fingers crossed for my 20 Camry XSE.
I was excited to see it
Happy to hear about this feature for 2023 models. It was one of my things I needed to get a 2023 Toyota RAV4. I have had a 2017 and 2020 Honda Civic and this was a standard feature on each one.
i am hoping the updates roll out soon
Still waiting on the update.
You continually share unique and helpful content - thank you!
Thank you. I try to
Hi Steve, thanks for your inputs on this channel. I'm planning to get the 2023 model of the tundra and I'm starting to consider the hybrid. Will this have a good second hand value as the gas ones? Please I need your thoughts on this.
i plan on getting the i for max hybrid tundra as well. i would not do that unless i thought it was a great choice.
Thanks for all your information.
My pleasure!
You are always very helpful! Thank you su much! Will wait on that update on the 2022 rav4 TRD 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

I’d pay good money to fix this issue on my 22 Tacoma TRD OR I just bought. I hope this update comes. One of the few things that really grinds my gears about Toyota lol
I hope to see it soon
How good of money? i have a prototype and I'm looking for beta testers.

Same with 23 taco trd OR.... HATE this stupid remote connect. 10 mintue shut off, and stupid issue of touching anything on the truck and shuts off the remote start. This has been standard features on all other car makers! Why toyta thought this was a good idea, no clue. They missed the mark. I don't think they will push to the old generations Tacomas, since new one is set to release next year or this year.
Thank you Steve! I have a 2021 Venza with the remote connect and hopefully they will update this for all who have the in app subscription 🙏🏾
I hope so too. i believe that they will but it will likely be a bit before they send the update
SUBSCRIPTION?!
Good info. Thanks Steve

@@tonyjoudi466 no problem. Stay tuned for more
That’s good to hear since I’m looking to trade in our 2020 explorer ST for a 2023 sequoia.
It’s a bit frustrating Toyota hasn’t been able to provide this sooner since other car manufacturers have. I have to deal with this in my Tacoma. The explorers remote start puts the car in a standby mode and no one can take off in it until you get in it with the key, push the brakes and start button. All while not shutting off. Necessary while loading the kids up in Arizona summers.
I have been told they will update older toyotas as they go as well
100% agree, loosing the power during a hot summer day is so annoying,
Thanks for the info! I’ll definitely renew my remote connect if this happens!
i am excited about it
man, i'm hoping it works for the 2021 Tundra i have with remote connect. i'm excited. Thanks Steven.
It should soon. I will talk to Toyota in a couple weeks about it
@@stevenwelchtoyota any update?
Also hoping for an update. Just got a 2023 Tacoma off-road
@@135tvyeah2 I dont have a better update yet
As always thanks, Steve for the video. Always good incite on features and updates.
Anybody have updates on this for 2022 models? I’d imagine the MMI doesn’t differ too much from car to car of the same year model. I just picked up the 2022 Avalon (RIP). If a simple over the air update worked on the 2022 Tundra, I’d guess it would work with any other 2022 vehicles equipped with remote connect. Upon reaching out to the Toyota Brand Engagement Center they replied, “At this time there are no plans to retrofit legacy remote connect Toyota vehicles.” I’m not too sure they understood my question though. Maybe (I’d hope not) Toyota will just refuse to send this out to all pre-23 vehicles equipped with remote connect. Thanks again, Steve for keeping us loyal Toyota owners up to date! Cheers. 🍻

I have a 2023 Tacoma TRD Pro and it still shuts off when I unlock / open the door.
Any updates / fixes?
Does this rule apply to thr 2024 RAV4 XLE Premium
This explains a lot lol. I just got a 2024 Highlander and I was so confused why I couldn’t get in without it turning off. I hope they do an update on it as well 🫤
Saw your Crown remote start video!! Any news on the 2023 Tundra update?
Not yet
I saw in another post you mentioned this will be available for the 22-23 tundras with new head unit, does that mean 2020 tundras with remote connect will not have the start, drive-off feature available?
they will be doing the new head units 1st regardless. there is no indication at this time that they will go back further
Would definitely like to see this new update, seriously considering a 2023 Tundra
It is supposed to be updated
I bought a 23 Tundra with remote connect and it still is not working correctly.
@@indyjay22 Yep, part of the reason I didn't purchase the Tundra in the end
Hi Steve, I have a 2021 Toyota Tacoma Trd sport. I see people on line who can use their key Fob to remote start. It's not working for me to press the lock button three times.
I also did not extend my remote subscription through Toyota which is probably why key fob remote start isn't working. Do you know if this correct? Thanks
Good to hear, but when is the update coming out? I just bought a 2022 Tundra in August. I see other truck brands have remote start and drive off without the engine shutting down once they opened the door. It's so weird when you spend a lot on a Toyota car and its missing some basic stuff vs other competitions....

Just found out today that my 2 year old tacoma can remote start with the fob. Immediately I hate that it shuts off when I get in it and have to start the engine again. I really hope my truck gets this update
it likely wont get the update
I know this vid is a year old but I just ran into an issue with my 2020 Lexus es 350 F Sport. I’ve had the car for a year and the remote start works as normal. You turn it on and it’ll shut off when you open the door. But yesterday when I opened my door, the car remained on and it shut off when I switched gears. Then I didn’t want to turn on after a few tries. Did something change with the remote start with Lexus?
Thanks for sharing - just purchased a 2023 Tundra and although the sales people at the dealership were helpful, they did not explain this. Great info!
Happy to help
How do you get it to stop shutting off. I just purchased my 23 tacoma and it still shuts off after I get in. What did you do to stop it?
@@abeegonn1 your Tacoma will not get this. It's only the newer infotainment system, which on the Tacoma, would start on the 2024 models.
@EddieChavez that makes me sad. Lol. Oh well. I'll find ways around it. Aftermarket auto start here I come
Just bought a 2024 Toyota Tundra and it shuts off after opening the door 😢
I hpe they introduce the update soon. The Crown, Corolla, Prius and grand highlander already have it
same.
@@stevenwelchtoyota how about the popular camry and rav4? Thank you
@@syhoang7987 camry in 25. 24 rav4 should get an update
Steve, thanks for the video, please create a new video once Toyota gets this feature enabled. bought in March 2022, have all the latest updates according to HUD and Toyota iOS app. Sure hope they get it going soon. I see a lot of Tundras both used and new on dealership lots. And I drive the through the southeast US states in the last 3 months. Really considering selling and moving to another truck manufacturer. BS Subscription model for Toyota is totally a rip off. $70K for a truck with no navigation and remote start is uncalled for in my opinion.
You will know when I do
Shame to Toyota for doing this and not having simple feature implemented. I just bought 22 Hybrid Se and just notices this and i was wowed! I also have 18 Focus remote start and its beautiful, it does not shut off and programmed weather turns on, keep the car warm in cold days and cool in warm days. Sit in the car hit the brake and simply push the start button once to let go off remote start mode and drive off!!
Thank you
You're welcome
I have a ‘23 Camry SE w/o push button start. Can I add “remote connect” to be able to remote start the vehicle? When using the app it only gives me Wifi hotspot and “safety connect” as options?? maybe remote start not available on the SE?? 🤔
If it didnt come with remote connect you cannot add it. You may be able to get a aftermarket remote start
Would this be applicable to a 2021 HIghlander Platinum (Entune System, not the new Toyota Multimedia System). I have this bookmarked and check back every couple of weeks hoping it will some day come true!
The newest system will be first I dont know that it will be available on the 21
Picking up my new 23 Tundra TRD PRO in 2 weeks. Let’s see if they have the updated software in it.
Not yet it has not been. Should have the update available sometime this year
Will the remote start and drive away feature be available for the 2023 Tacoma?
I dont think so at least not right away. I bet it will be on the 2nd wave of updates but it will be a while
Not sure if you did a video on this but could Toyota send an update over the air for a audible chirp for when you have your turn signal on and someone is in your blind spot? The 2023 RAV4 Hybrid chirps a lot and just surprised that it doesn’t for BSM. Any insight?
they dont have a blind spot monitor alert tone. it is more distracting then helpful
If you enable Lane Departure Alert and lane switch using your turn signals, it will beep at you if a car is detected in your blind spot monitor
@@masonvevo. it flashes but there is no tone on a Toyota
I have a 2010 Lexus rx350 any information on a possible software update for older vehicles?
probably not pn older ones. i believe they will have to be connected services capable
Need to try this on my 23 Tundra.
Wont work until it gets an update that is not yet available
I got the camry xse awd 2023 and when I go inside the remote start turns off did the software update come yet? Also at night time my reverse camera is black and white pictures, it's not clear color picture at all. Should I get that checked ?
The backup can should be color. The remote connect update has not come out yet. Still waiting for that
My 2023 tundra was built July 2023 and still turns off. Guess they didn't have the update in July 2023.
Will this also be added to the 2023 RAV4 Hybrids with the updated 10.5" head unit?
Supposed to be
@@stevenwelchtoyota 🤞🤞🤞
Any new updates on this one? Our 2022 shop truck is needing this bad haha
Last I was told they are trying to make the update package small enough for an over the air update. It may be an thing where it has to be dealer updated. Keep subscribed because as soon as the update is happening I will produce a video to announce it.
Have a question ,have a 2020 Camry xse ,how to know if a have remote stared or not?
Thanks
email me your vin to buyatoyotanashville@yahoo.com I will look it up
Do we need internet in the car to be able to used remote connect? Or would it work fine after we subscribe to the package?
no internet is something separate
Thanks Steve this is great information. I can’t figure out how to toggle this feature on and off on my Toyota app. Can you help?
Which vehicle do you have?
@@stevenwelchtoyota 2023 Toyota Tundra Platinum. Thanks for your help!
@@LanceBek they are supposed to be doing a over the air update at some point to add it. It's not capable yet
@@stevenwelchtoyota thank you!
Thanks for the info..however entering the vehicle and pressing the brake and start button to engage shifter would be the same as it shutting off and turning back on
I think that's why they won't ever fix the engine shutting off after remote start. I hope they do though! I hate the engine shutting off entering the vehicle especially since it's locked and I have the fob in my pocket.
For those of you who have plug-in-hybrid vehicles you probably have discovered that in the cold winter days while plugged in, the OEM remote start only runs the HVAC system nothing else. Also if you have a rav4prime like me, you'll be upset with the fact that it only runs the weak-ass heat-pump and will never burn gasoline. Add this to the short run time, and your lucky to get more then 30-40f inside the car on a cold day.
you still have to unplug in for driving. And it will shut off that heat/ac when you open the door.
Adding an aftermarket unit makes a big difference with 45 min run time, and full take over. You can even program it to run gas mode if the temperature is below a programable set point.
There is one major catch tho...if the plug spout is inserted during this remote start request, the most it will be allowed to do is remote start in ACCY mode, with no heat, and no AC, and no EV or GAS mode engaged. Meaning you'll have to go out into the cold, pull out the plug, go back inside, then remote start the rav4prime. What is the point??!
i have a safe fix for that issue as well.
Its all about saving energy
@@stevenwelchtoyota I get it, but here in north Indiana we want 70f or better when we remote start the our cars in the winter. Me personally, I never want to scrape ice or snow off my windows....EVER.
Just bought a 2023 Highlander, Does not work. What am I missing?
Like that Toyota is listening. Still kinda perplexed that someone thought it was a good idea to have it shut off to begin with.
@stevenwelch is Toyota still doing a longer “free trial” period on remote connect? Heard 90 days, heard 1-year, heard 3 and 10 years. What’s the latest?
it depends on the car. the BZ4x will have 3 years but most have 1 year. when it first came out in 2018 it was 6 months

Any updates? I just bought a 23 tundra 11/21/22 and it shuts down when opening the door.
There should be an update soon
Hi Steve, I just bought a Venza 2023, my remote engine start from the app or from my keys are working properly but when I open the door it shut down. The car stay running and I can not unlock otherwise it shutting down.
it does not have an update yet it is not able to be changed at this point
So i have a 2016 lexus and have a subscription and i can remote start my vehicle with my phone. Would that possibly get the same update for what your referring to or would my vehicle not meet the requirements. Just wondering that's all
I would suspect that it would be available for any of the subscription based remote start services
@@stevenwelchtoyota thanks for the info hopefully it happens
Another question my wife has a 2020 sienna van xle premium i wanted to add it to my lexus app but wasn't sure if they charge for each car to have that or not
@@richardmilo602 it is a charge for each car but the 20 sienna does not have remote connect
Just got the 2023 Camry xse , great car love how it drives but the remote start shutting off as soon I open the door is very annoying.

Thanks!
You need to complete the setup in the Toyota app
How do you set it up in the app?
Is remote connect available for the 2019 Highlander?
No
I hope this update comes to the 2020 camry
And I don’t have the remote connect subscription
you can add remote start aftermarket if you dont have remote connect
I have remote connect on my 20 camry XSE.... it's great and I love it during the winter!! nothing like a warm car!!

I have a 2020 Rav 4 but I have to push the lock button 3 times to have it start. Are u saying I will not be able to get the update? Is there anything I can do to change that?
It should get it but it will likely be a while for the Ravs
Just bought a new TRD Camry and it still does it.
OEM starters do this sometimes, 3rd party starters normally do not. Toyota finally listened, but you would have to buy a new car to get it ! I guess better late than never.
Toyota probably has to worry about liability with remote start, which explains why it works that way.
That had been the excuse for a while.
@@stevenwelchtoyota A crappy excuse. It was not that difficult to make it re-check for keyfob at door open. If missing, then kill it, but if present then your good to just drive off,
Any updates? Have a 23 tundra I bought recently. Still shuts off.
Some have the updated version on the new releases. Waiting to see the updates on the previous ones.
The problem is that after the update, will they nurf the key fob remote start to ensure we have to pay for that feature?
the key will work up to 10 years without paying
I recently just bought a 2023 Toyota Camry and when I opened the door it still shut off from Remote Connect.
the update is not done yet
Best things yall can do is call toyta and request this to be pushed to older generations. Praying is not gona do anything. Voices need to be heard. Is bogus it's not going to be pushed to older vehicles with remote connect. Especially if your paying for a half ass remote feature to use the app. You don't need it but the range on fob is piss poor so it's kinda necessary
Will 2023 Rav4 non hybrid get this update?
It is supposed to
Is this only going to be for app users or for remote start with key fob
It should be for all but it will have to be the newest system
Any update from Toyota. Last update I have available on my 2022 1794 Tundra is April. Still hasn't "fixed" the remote start and drive issue.
They have not pushed the update yet. I will be at a Toyota event in a week and I hope to have a better answer then. I will do a update video soon.

Should be
now I have to pay to get the wife's HL connected (Remote connect) so we can possibly get the update.... she doesn't even use this stuff but it would be great to finally be able to start the car, get in and press on!!!
that is an assumption on my part they may do the update without the subscription. stay subscribed and i will release info as i get more

It's Toyota's way of making profit, must pay for those App services instead of being Free for the life time of your vehicle. We pay dearly for car technology, but get into an accident, insurance company deems car totaled and they recover the parts and you get stuck buying another Plastic Car for a higher price. Auto industry not stupid, they make nothing to last long, and auto insurance companies are loving it too ... they are in cahoots together and making large profits. Banks love it too as they foresee you getting a higher APR ..interest rate. Scam and Scheming.
Do you know if this will be also available for 2023 carmry xse
it is supposed to be yes
Thank you
I’ve remote started while sitting inside when I tried to open the door the alarm went off, when I tried to shift the alarm went off.
ok
i bought a 2023 Toyota Tundra about 3 weeks ago. it does have the remote start, but still turns off when i open the door :/
There is a patch coming out that will change it
I like the way it works now.
Start the truck to warm it up on cold days. After 10 minutes it shuts off. Doors are still locked.
The other way to look at it is, no one can steal the truck while it's running.
You will still have that part be the same.
No one can steal it while the truck is running when started by remote unless they have the factory remote with them. Are you ok?
the car could just shut off when you hit the brake to put it in gear if you don't have the key.. way better solution.. having the whole car shut off is completely unnecessary and causes additional strain on the engine in the cold
Can someone tell me how to keep my Rav4 2023 still on after starting?
It should get an update soon but the remote start always shuts off after 10 min

you won't find it in the owner's manual
I got a 2024 Camry and it shuts off when I open the door. Isn’t being able to get in without having to start your car and doing so with remote the whole purpose of the remote starts job? 😅
Be patient it should update to the new system soon
My 2024 does not show any setting feature that allows me to change the remote start stop when entering the vehicle- it shuts off after using the app to start and entering the vehicle so it’s a fail for my 2024 SR5 Premium and no updates are available
Same here
Any updates? I have a 2022 Toyota Tundra and I can't stand the inconsistency!
It is supposed to be coming soon
Same here, bought in March 2022, have all the latest updates according to HUD and Toyota iOS app. Sure hope they get it going soon. I see a lot of Tundras both used and new on dealership lots. And I drive the through the southeast US states in the last 3 months. Really considering selling and moving to another truck manufacturer. BS Subscription model for Toyota is totally a rip off. $70K for a truck with no navigation and remote start is uncalled for in my opinion.
Not so much a comment but questions. No one seems to know. On a stock 3rd gen Tacoma, if you go to your vehicle and do a manual start, cuz it’s cold, I'm in Canada, and go back in the house with my fob in my pocket, can a potential thief be able to get in and drive off? Is truck locked or unlocked at this point due to manual start? And is my fob required to be on my person for me to be able to drive off? I suspect this should be a yes. Does my Tacoma need to talk to my fob to be able to shit to drive? Really hope someone knows the answer, maybe you. If a thief CAN drive off without my fob, this seems like a serious Toyota security issue. I’m sure the affordable remote start add ons available should prevent this as 3 lock clicks to start will surely lock all doors during the remote starting process. I realize 15 minutes run time will timeout and stop engine, doors should remain locked and restart will be required before driving off. So, Mr. Welch, I’m certain most Tacoma owners do not know but WOULD LOVE TO KNOW these answers. Can you help me/us?
If it has been started it can be driven without the fob. It will alert you key not found but will run until it is shut off
I have a 2021 Camry. My remote key will no longer unlock or lock my driver door ONLY my driver door. How can I fix that?
Sounds like a door lock actuator. You will need to replace it
Is there any mention on when the tundras should receive the update?
not yet. but i would believe soon. when they originally told us about the tundra they had told us it would have this feature. Most of us assumed it would.be on it when it came out. i even tried to find a setting to enable it.
They said that the new Crown will be the first with the new system. The patch will be available first for the new head unit meaning 22 and 23 tundra, 23 Sequoia and 23 highlander. They said the patch is too large to be an over the air update and they are trying to make it small enough where they can send it over the air but it may be something you need to have updated at the dealership when available. It should be coming really soon and I will do a update when I have a better idea of the timeline.
I just wish it was for 2017 vehicles too. What I wonder is why is it even like that. I had a 2010 Sienna with a non-Toyota remote start that worked just fine, now I have a 2017 Sienna with a non-Toyota remote start and it shuts off when the door is opened. This sounds more like a Toyota grift that's part of their new charging monthly fees for certain options to work.
It is due to the fact it can be driven away after remote starting
@@stevenwelchtoyota Not really---or at least its easy to prevent that, that's what i did is just look to see if the car is still armed or not on brake press. If armed the alarm goes of when you open the door, and that shuts it off.
Are they going to do it for ‘21 Tacomas as well?
no
@@stevenwelchtoyota I been checking for updates everyday since I saw this video just to make sure. 😂
@@javierramos9795 the tacoma does not have the radio version they are going to update. If it does happen it won't be with the first update
Just bought a 24 tundra it still shuts off. Was this not rolled out yet?
some cars have it not yet in the tundra
can we do this on 2022 highlander platinum?@@stevenwelchtoyota
@@majerrahim not yet
My 2021 rav4prime has full take over with aftermarket remote start.
i would not recommend aftermarket
@@stevenwelchtoyota it's the no monthly fee, and the two-way confirmation and the super range I get from the compustar system that sold me.
I have more info to share, but for the older Toyotas that dint have a soultion...I dio... just gotta wait a bit longer with my patent attorney. But it is possible.
Sorry, that was not very clear. All Toyota vehicles with push to start can be made to allow full take over using any aftermarket remote start. A specific adapter needs to be installed between the car and the aftermarket remote start. its not for sale yet, but I do have a working prototype in my Prius. As far as i know my solution is the only one. Patent pending. Almost to full patent stage now.
@@stevenwelchtoyota You might actually approve of my approach to it. My remote start system removes all the digital hacky stuff and replaces it with all 100% electrical 'analog' connections to the vehicle. The vehicle itself is 100% unaware of the install in every way. The install is more difficult this way, but it does not touch any of the can bus's in the vehicle.
