Key Fob Auto Start method: press lock button twice and hold down on 3rd press

[BaronVonWolfenheiser]

Not sure if I’m just late to the game or not but just found this and tested it on my 24 pro and it works. I thought you could only use the Toyota app to auto start the truck. Hitting the lock button 2 times and on the 3rd time pressing it you hold and it will auto start. Hopefully this helps.

Yeah, it took me a couple weeks to figure that one out, too. They don't exactly advertise that as a function, probably because they want you to use that app that you eventually will have to pay for.

You eventually have to pay for the fob too. I believe it's connected to the Service Connect subscription instead of the Remote Connect so you likely have 10 years.

Here's a Reddit thread about it.

Good post, thanks! Had mine a while and didn't realize this either.

Thanks! Now I can stop relying on the app like a sucker

Now find me a mod to extend range and reliability of the fob beyond 20ft

You might have a weak battery, I can lock and unlock with key from inside my house. Truck is parked over 150ft away on the street

checked both my fobs, they seriously have a range of like 20 feet. I mean empty parking lot and no obstructions and I need to walk up to about 4-5 parking spaces away before it works and by then I’m grabbing the door handle which shuts the vehicle off if it’s mid crank. Absolutely worthless. Not to mention if you don’t time the button presses right it just won’t work. Toyota really wants you pay for the app to have a functional remote start
