Remote start from FOB

[WanderlustTraveler]

I haven’t yet tried remote start from the fob; I just assumed it didn't have that feature. Definitely need to try it out, but I can confirm what others have likely noticed: the fob seems to have pretty short range. With both my old jeeps, I could lock and unlock them from inside my house and across the street. The Tacoma’s seems something like 20 feet, unobstructed.

The range on the fob for me seems pretty good, I've unlocked/locked from at least 60 feet away.

My 2024 is still in boxes in Baja. Any idea what the range is with the key fob? Perhaps about as far as the lock feature works, I suppose?

It’s not very far. I would guess 30-40 feet. Almost useless from the fob. Not 2-way either so you don’t know if it started

Gave it another shot just now, and it worked! The final button hold did feel long, closer to 5 sec as some others have said.

I had no idea about this, just went and tried it and it worked! Good to know, once again learned something new from this forum.
