Jeff can you help me, i have a question, i recently purchased a Rav4 2021 XLE, and im having issues with the bluetooth sound, when i pair my device, my music no matter with which player i reproduce it, block the audio and bring it back every time. I dont know why is that happening, even the calls are being affected
Traded my 2019 Jeff for 2021 RAV4 Limited do you think it will have AutoStart??

@@alanh8101 it probably will
@@rinopisano5643 welp Toyota and Honda are great cars and they are reliable and they last forever it’s probably bad connection
@@alanh8101 it will,mine does
This man exudes so much Dad energy I love it
Hey Jeff. So... May I upgrade my 2020 rav4 xle gasoline to audio plus? Txs.
But, he’s not wearing a ring, so he’s not married, therefore there is no way he is a DAD. HAHA!!!!
A zaddy
@@hellolori1 lol he’s got a wedding band on his left hand
@@fallguy4209 oh man… lacking in the observations skills. 😅
1) Press “lock” twice.
2) Hold “lock” for 4 seconds.
Perfect. Thank you!
N my car alarm just went off lol w this
I just bought a rav4 Limited and it starts with the remote but when I open the door. Immediately turns off
Thanks Jeff!!! Even my dealer didn't tell me about this feature. You da man!!!
My husband said they don't tell you this bc they want you to purchase the option to have one....prob true so THANK YOU Jeff for showing this but a friend of hubby's from work told him about it... There is also some app you can download from your phone but he said they charge for that too...I'm gonna check that out now to see what it's about.... :-)
One can feel the Best dad and best buddy vibes coming out of him all the time. Simple, jolly and entertaining yet very informative videos..info that greedy dealers won't provide you.. thank u for excellent videos.

I’ll have my 2019 Toyota RAV4 Limited I took it to the dealer and they told me I did not have remote start I watched a video today tried your keyless remote start hack and it worked thank you so much
hi
if it start from key
it will be heated directly
anther question how can change temperature from f. to c.
@@adelalsmadi6921 Go into the vehicle settings menu and change from F to C.
really? i have one too but it's not working for me. I'll try again.
Umm....It's NOT a hack.
I was debating on purchasing a remote starter for both the 2020 Rav4 that I bought 18 months ago and my recently purchased 2021 Tacoma. I had been doing some research on remote starters and happened across this video explaining how to tell if you already have a remote start feature. I figured that I didn't have anything to loose so I tried the procedure on both vehicles and to my amazement it worked! Thanks for the video Jeff, you saved me a lot of money and aggravation!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video, It worked on mine, I just purchased a rav4 limited yesterday and the dealer didn’t even tell me nor manual will tell ya, I just happened to google tips and tricks for this car and your video popped up. Love how you went to test it on different models . Thanks a million. Keep up the good work
I’ve had my rav4 for over a year, and I just tried this today and it worked, I had no idea I could do that 😂
I’m really not happy that my dealership did not convey such simple information. My wife purchased the remote start for her 21 Venza… which also has fob activated remote start . Thanks Jeff for all you do.
Not only are your videos "informative and educational" but also hilarious.....keep up that great spirit of yours.
Love this guys humor! Makes it all worth watching! Love the Engery! ⚡️⚡️⚡️
.....Gotta say that you (Jeff) are one awesome salesman who really knows how to effectively and most professionally communicate.
Thank you! It worked for my 2020 RAV4 TRD!
His vibe and energy are amazing
Thank you so much!!! Our salesman didn't take the time to show us this. He mentioned that it had it, but didn't know how it worked, so that was that. We would buy a car from you if we were down by you for sure!
I don’t think they knew.
Wow your the best! I have a 2020 rav4 hybrid xse fully loaded and it works!! You made my day. Thank you.
Finally! I’ve found someone who is as excited as me about remote start!! ... but my 2020 Corolla Hatchback XSE with Audio Plus doesn’t have it...it’s a 6 -speed manual!! 👍🏼 I did, however, have the all-windows-down from the key feature enabled, you should demo that- I’m sure lots of people would like that too!
no remote start on manual trans
I KNEW WE HAD IT , BUT COULDN'T GET IT TO WORK. I NOW KNOW WHAT I DID WRONG. VERY HELPFUL THANK YOU WE HAVE A 2021 RAVV 4 LIMITED. LOVE IT
Thank You for your very detailed video it really explained it in a step-by-step manner ! 👍
That was brilliant. You need to stop selling cars and make this your full time income.
jeff i love your energy!!! i got my 2020 rav4 because of you!!! keep the hard work up!!!
Awesome I’m glad I could help a little!
@@Toyotajeff i can I upgrade to audio plus on my rav4 XLE premium after I ordered it and it arrives to the dealership or is that a factory ordered thing
@@mannygarcia8222 The audio system has to be ordered from the factory
@@Toyotajeff ok thanks. How do i go about upgrading if it doesn’t come with it
It worked on my new 2021 Rav4 Hybrid Limited and my wife’s 2021 Venza Limited, however the timing had to be just right. Also Jeff you failed to mention the engine will shut off when you unlock or open the doors. I assume this is an anti theft feature but you would think by having the SmartKey nearby that it could override this and keep the engine running. Anyway another great video.
True
That's why I'm here. Why have auto start just to shut off ? When you try to enter your vehicle...
@@rastaming6884 i want to know the same thing. I remotely start my car from my app but when I get in the car it shuts off? Jeff how does do we keep the car running when we use remote start and get in the car?
@@brandylmcquillen5361 there is no way to override this. If you remote start your car, the min you open the door, it will shut off the engine. It's an anti-theft feature
Thanks. I've owned mine for a year and your video showed me I have it
This worked on my 2024 XLE gas!! Not sure if it’s the added on packages I have but it worked. Thanks!
AMAZING! just got a Rav4 today and went back and forth about having Toyota install a remote engine starter. I have a 2019 Limited and it works!!! also have a touches tailgate.. neither of which they said I have! woohoo!
How did you find out about the touchless tailgate?
It worked on a 2019 XLE. I know you just saved us some $$$$. Thanks!!
God bless you Jeff so much!!! -Stephen
Works on my 19 adventure big mahalos Toyotajeff you know what’s good!! 🤙🏽
Just tried it, I've got a used 21 rav 4 hybrid, it works! Your info is gonna save me during this Arizona summer season😅
yes it works for mine, thank you! i wish toyota would just make it have it's own button like other brands. it's so much easier.
Works on our 2023 RAV4 Premium/JBL upgrade. Dealer told us you had to buy the package for the app. Nice hack. Thanks
This is a man who loves his job.
Yes! It work on my RAV4 limited. Thank you😍🙏
What model year was it ?
My local Toyota dealer never told me about this feature on my 2020 corolla XSE til I watched your channel. I have JBL premium sound system.
Mine didn’t either. I have learned a lot about my RAV4 from Jeff.
I’m looking forward to get RAV4 xle premium with weather package next February for my wife.😎
Super cool. Just found out my RAV4 TRD had remote start!
Excelente videos thanks Jeff!!
Thanks for this video. I bought my RAV4 adventure used and now I know it has remote start.
Save this man at all cost!!!
He’s such a vibe bro🙌
Wish I could’ve bought my rav 4 xse hybrid from you Jeff. I bet you make the car buying process seem less. So many salesman don’t have any idea about the products
Curious thing about the remote start, I tried Jeff's tip on my friend's 2021 XSE and it worked (she didn't even know and the dealer didn't tell her. Vehicle had Premium Plus Audio). But, after I shut the car off and retried after a few minutes, it wouldn't work (lights wouldn't flash after third press-nothing). However, retrying after about 15 minutes, the remote start worked again. Seems to be some sort of restart delay. Note: She worships my genius now. After soaking that up for awhile, I told her about Toyota Jeff's Channel. Ha, ha!
It seems the timing has to be just right, I got it work twice in less than 5 minutes, but I had to try maybe 3-4 times the second time. Maybe the timings of the presses has to be just right, but I’m not sure, that was my first and only time I’ve ever tried it.
good info. Thanks!
You got my laugh at the running around the car part lol! Thank you for this informational video
So very helpful..thank you
Thanks just bought a 2019 Limited from a Ford dealer so I am trying to get to know all the features. Which is proving to be a challenge.
do you have the JBL sound packet on it?
I never knew my RAV4 XLE Premium did this. Thanks!!
You can tell he loves his job :)❤️
Found that my brand new 2023 RAV4 XLE Premium model works using your Trick key fob technique 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Unbelievable…. Really. I was just going to call a place by my home to install a remote start feature on my FOB, when I stumbled across this video!! I have a 2023 Rav4 hybrid XLE. Worked perfectly. Thanks guy.
Glad to save the day haha
Hi, Is your XLE a premium or Just XLE? Thank you..... I have a 2024 ordered Hybrid XLE Premium and hoping it works.
XLE Premium.
@@pete9688 fantastic!
I’m learning more n more about my rav 4
Thanks Jeff!
Wow, my wifes third Toyota, all alike and it took almost 6 years to find out they all had remote start!Thanks
I have a rav4 se 2022 hybrid, that does not have audio+. After watching this video I tried the trick and it works for me.
Hi Jeff. I have ordered a new RAV4 AWD in Executive trim. This version is quite like the USA Limited with the chrome door handles and leather seats. What I can’t find in the description, not in the brochure or anywhere else, is whether the audio system still features AM reception. Quite unlike other places on this planet, AM radio is pretty much alive in The Netherlands, no, these are not pirates but licensed stations. I know that there are differences between European and USA versions like frequencey steps and the lack of sat reception outside the USA but other than that, the systems were pretty much the same. The car will be a 2023 model and it is delivered not sooner than august 2023. Thanks! Greetings, Willem, Hekelingen, The Netherlands.
Awesome information
"ehhh you've been punked" lmao this man is the king of all dads
Jesus H Christ there is more "California know how to paaaarty' "Hooolaaa" This is pure gold!! I've watched this video 4 times
Love your videos
Duuuuud!!!! I came across your bid by accident lol my wife’s rav4 trd off road has remote start and I didn’t know 🙌😎🤯
OMG! Works on my 2022 Rav4 Ltd Hybrid!! I thought it was only available thru the app.
It works on my Camry Hybrid LE. I have the upgraded option as follows: Audio package, sunroof package, convenience package, Blind spot monitor W/Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
You Don’t Need A . At The End
I’ve been told I have remote start so will check it out on rav4 xle hybrid premium
I actually asked my dealership to install remote start before I signed papers and then learned of this trick in a Facebook group for 2020 RAV4 owners. Worked! I cannot believe it isn’t easier to tell how to remote start it though. Toyota needs to rethink this.
This has to be one of thee best videos on TH-cam ❤❤😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
You know, I just recently got one of these, granted it’s a 16 but it’s a limited and I never knew if it had remote start because it didn’t have the usual start button. Either way this video just randomly popped into my feed and boy Andy I ever glad it did, I was thinking I was going to have to get one, granted I never check the manual yet to be sure but based on the fob….so, I tried what you said and VROOM!! I’ll be darned, the bigger started, what a nice surprise, thanks for the video and thank god TH-cam threw it up for me to see or I’d have waited to check the manual.
2024 corolla SE. it works! they wanted me to pay a subscription to the app. thx Jeff
i’m getting a rav next week and your videos have been so helpful, thank you!!!! 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
Yup, had no idea. Just bought a 2017 RAV4 and salesman didn't even tell me. First morning of new ownership I almost walked away with it running! I almost thought I had some strange defect and was going to call the dealership. Thanks!!!
2018 was wondering why my car was always running when I came out of the grocery store thought I was going crazy 🤪
Put in an order for the XLE I’m glad I watched this video because I skipped out on the audio upgrade.
Thanks for this video. What is the distance range for this remote start to work? if it is within 3 ft then it is easier just to get in the car and push the button ONCE and instantly start the engine.
Super cute! HOLLUHHHH!!! I’m so on FIRE right now out of excitement to discover that my XSE Hybrid has all the bells and whistles including REMOTE START-- but, I’m super effing pissed that my dealership told me that it does NOT unless I keep subscribing to the ENTUNE SUITE! And 3/4 of the way through the video I now understand why there is an advantage to reading the manual… lessons (continually) learned!
Can I send you a Dutch Bros or StarBucks card, please? Thank you, Jeff!!!!
I just bought a 2021 Rav 4 XLE premium, I’m picking it up this week and I’m gonna try it!!
Congrats let me know how it goes :)
@@Toyotajeff it didn’t work! I did get the Toyota app and found out I could turn it on that way though :)
@@britney6174 how do you use the app to do it? I've been trying to do that
@@reganharvey8468 you download the Toyota app (connect to your Toyota) and it walks you through the process. I had to go to my car and do stuff on the screen to link the app to my car. My Rav came with one year free keyless entry. You can lock your doors from the app and see your mileage, etc. it’s pretty cool!
I just bought a rav4 hybrid xle sooo I’m guessing it won’t :(
Omg Thanks so much 🙏🏼
Thanks Jefffffffff I know I had the remote start, but I didn't know how to used it lol
This guy just made my day.
Awesome!!! Glad I helped make your day :)
Hi Jeff
I love your you tube videos
Well done.
I have a 2020 hybrid limited but it doesn’t start remotely.
I tried several times,there must be something wrong with it.
Any advice?
Holy crap!!!! Thank you.
I just now got one of these sitting in our driveway just moments ago & 1st & foremost as he just mentioned the sound system OMG that's my favorite part so far I LOVE THE THUMP sound & of course when he mentioned Eminem that's the 1st song I heard on it!!! & I didn't think the remote start worked bc you can't hear it running but it does!! It is a XSE version (I think lol) hubby just brought it home for me...will maybe take it for a spin myself later BUT hubby says it drives GREAT & it's comfy (he's a bigger built guy) so for him to say it's comfy IT MUST BE 🤣...Can hardly wait to explore all the options it has WISH ME LUCK LOL
Just an add here....we traded an Equinox in for this & a BIG difference already just with what time I sat in it to check things out 😁
Hi! I was wondering if you need to be enrolled in any Toyota services (remote connect, etc.) for this to work? Or is the only requirement Audio Plus? I have a 2021 Corolla SE Hatchback, it says I have Audio Plus.
It works for my 2023 RAV4 limited
Wow, who knew! Does this apply to pre-2021 Toyotas as well (got a '16 Camry XLE, which does have an audio system above the standard Entune system)? If so, cool! But if not, that's ok, as I've got an aftermarket remote start system on mine. But this is cool to know for whenever I step up to a RAV4 and opt for either the XLE Premium (of which I'd then I'd need it to have audio plus) or Limited (which would have premium audio standard with the much nicer JBL sound system too). Interesting how the dealer doesn't tell us this...
Wow, thanks again 😊😊😊
Remote start only handy for winter. save some time starting up before that work commute
I wish it stayed running when I open the door but it shuts off. I know it's to prevent theft, but the smart key should be able to override that feature. Also, the TRD tech package is really rare for 2021, settled for the TRD weather package in white.
Rusti, I agree
😁 You had me at Dr. Dre and Eminem. I’m subscribing in hopes of more of those priceless moments.
Excellent! My XLE Hybrid has remote start and I didn't even know it!!! OK, now how do I turn it off from the fob?
Good vid
Hello! Nice to have found a good resource! I'm considering buying a 2021 RAV4 XLE Premium which does come with the audio and weather upgrades. The dealer (Honda) told me I'd have to buy a chip (or something) and have it installed to be able to remote start. Living in MN, auto start is a big deal for me! I called several Toyota dealers to get the real info and nobody I talked to could tell me! According to this. I should be able to remote start as it is... right?
Also, would I be able to remote start with the app?
Thanks for the valuable info. Quick question, why does the vehicle shutoff when opening the door after remote start? Isn't it intended for allowing the vehicle owner to quickly drive off without having to get into the car and starting the ignition? (2020 RAV4 hybrid Limited AWD)
Security feature so someone can't steal your car.
I would have to remotely start it while looking from the back of the car so do the lights flash at the rear of the car too?
This guy is the best! 😂😂
I just picked up my 2021 RAV4 TRD and sadly it does not have this. I wanted the weather package - and that came bundled with the JBL sound system (required to get both from factory). Likely the wiring is different for JBl than the Audio Plus... so i suspect that with JBL upgrade key fob won't do this auto start trick. Bummer. Doesn't stop me from LOVING my new RAV tho :)
Might want to test JBL upgrade on other models to see if that negates the Audio Plus remote start trick on them too :)
So will the car start and run if i am in the house and waiting for it to warm up?
Got a limited and found it does have it. Engine stopped when I opened the door for some reason, but cool, didn't know if it did
Yeah, that’s an anti theft feature but I wish it didn’t do that. It should be able to override that if you have the Smart Key with you.
Hi Toyota Jeff! Thanks for the great info. I love being able to remote start my 2021 Rav hybrid. I have a question about the settings my car is at when I start it remotely, and how to make sure it remotely starts using the settings you last used?? For example defrost and heated mirrors??
This guy is so funny! It’s the best
Hahahahaha thank you :)
So looks like it will not work without audio plus. If not, can a viper remote start be installed to my 2020 Rav4 Xle hybrid? Or can the audio plus be upgraded to the vehicle now?
Jeff, can you drive a rav 4 xse hybrid 2020 without a key? I just bought one and I realized that I can use the app on my phone to switch on the car even without being on the same location where my car was parked but was wondering if you could actually drive it without a key fob
Hi Jeff. I really enjoy your videos. I tried it on my Rav4 2020 XLE Premium and it worked for me. Will it always work for me or when I do it for the first time do I enter a "trial period"? Another question, how do I make sure that when I start the vehicle in this way, it also turn on the air conditioning simultaneously?
When you turn of the car make sure the ac is on and in auto
after the first trail year, how much is it gonna be?
