    He's not talking about push-button start. He's talking about a seperate accessory remote start system to start the truck without being in the truck and/or from a distance.

    There's nothing as of yet on the accessory site. It may take a bit for that to come out.

    Another area where Toyota falls short again. Hyundai has had app-controlled remote start (via their Bluelink) for years on cars that cost much less than a Tacoma.

    Why do you need remote start?

    Remote start can be nice in AZ ...I park close enough to my office to start the vehicle and allow it to cool down before walking out to go home. When it's 105 to 118 outside, it can make things a bit more pleasant. Cooled /ventilated seats are really nice too in that weather. Need though? Meh..

    I don't mind the heat, it's the freezing cold the bothers me. I want to warm it up before I climb in and take off. I don't think that's asking too much for 40k.

    Here in the Boston area, remote start is a nice thing to have during winters like this past one.

    LMAO! My son may need the heated seat feature in Lake Havasu. I've seen him put on a sweater in the winter when its 85 degrees!
