Phone Does Not Connect Automatically after Remote Start

[geonerdist]

It’s started getting cold again and I’ve used remote start a couple times now. I’ve noticed that when I’d get into the truck with my phone it would not connect automatically. I would either have to turn off the truck and start it again or push and hold the volume button to restart the infotainment. Curious to see if anyone else has experienced this, my google searches came up empty.

You're not alone. I noticed that this morning after I remote started mine. I was kind of confused. Had to go into the settings under connected devices and manually connect to the phone lol

Well that sounds quicker than what I’ve been doing!

I live in Alaska... Been using the remote start for awhile now... When you first get into the truck the screen is off then when you push the brake and start button then the screen turns on and usually connects to android auto... Usually

Just push your volume knob until the screen reboots.

Hopefully Apple or Toyota pushes out an update to fix it? No a bit g deal to restart the screen but you shouldn’t have to.

Agreed it seems odd. In other cases if my phone doesn’t connect right away I just hit “use CarPlay” and it connects. But that doesn’t work if I used remote start.

Just push the volume button until the screen reboots, and it'll connect.
