Remote start

So your SR now has power doorlocks, man the smallest things we take for granted but I know what you mean, I have an u cake with an SR, feels like I’m living pre-90’s having to walk up to it and unlock it. Far cry from the other end of the spectrum where we’re now just touching the handle (for some) and even more so, using our phones to lock and unlock...the human race is getting more advanced, if we’re not inventing pro-lazy technology, we’re living in the Stone Age!

 

I agree...

 

* I have an uncle* not “un cake” as my phone seems to believe...

 

Go Chiefs!!!

 

i hope this is the year for us...

Aside from him not being an authorized Fortin retailer, he doesn't have a website, or any clear way to contact him aside from the 3rd place market place he's on. If he pulled his listing tonight and went into hiding or stopped selling them for a minute because he didn't feel like it any more or got out of the business, guess what, you've go no where to go and your Amazon receipt is no good with factory direct warranty if you went that route.

Finally, eBay and Amazon sellers aren’t authorized and should they pull their listing, how will you find them for warranty issues? Because without them, your receipt is not good for factory direct warranty or tech support. I am putting emphasis on this point greatly, I know.

This guy sells random stuff on his eBay store aside from remote starters, for example beanies. Not sure how I confident I would be buying a remote starters from someone who’s focus isn’t just that, but making profit as a priority from what it seems.

Our vendors explicitly tells us we are NOT allowed to sell online in market places, you get cut from the brand if we do as serial numbers ARE tracked through distribution. Just friendly insight, don’t get stuck with a paper weight!

Not to mention, he's deceptive. He's been using my company name as a keyword on google to re-route folks to his amazon store, because his company sucks so much that he needs some strong key search words to phish ad deceive people. Do you really want to buy from a liar who can't drum up his own business that he has to use established company names to save a few extra bucks? Protect your hardware, protect your investment.

This isn’t to give you buyers remorse, but to help others understand deceptive tactics and tell people the truth about where their hard earned cash is going. He won’t our right tell you these things because it’ll affect his bottom line and I’m not here to take away from someone else’s work, but I will when you use my name to sell your stuff. That’s a weasel tactic and I know he reads these posts because his pricing follows my lead each time. The guy used to be selling them for $129 because no one was buying them from him, so he used my name as a keyword for search then raised his prices. He’s not getting them legitametly if he’s selling them for $129 once upon a time. Thats borderline hot/stolen goods.



At least he admits it...

 

Does the truck turn the heat on or air on depending on the temperature outside like some factory remotes do??

 

No buyers remorse here. He uses google to his advantage and uses the biggest e-commerce marketplace in the world to sell his product instead on a forum. Sounds like good old fashioned capitalism to me. I probably would have bought yours if the price was more competitive but nothing personal.

 

No complaints on capitalism. Kudos to him there, but I’m looking at it from the consumer protection side, not just profit. I actually care to be legit. If my vendor for the same product says no Amazon and no eBay, I abide or else I have nothing to sell. Could I slip a family member or friend some to sell under the table like him? Sure can, would I? Nope, serials are tracked, who ever fed it to him can be cut real quick when you get secret shoppers from our manufacturer randomly buying your hardware. No hard feelings here, I’m sure you’ll be fine, and hopefully never run into the scenario I outlined above.

 

Any updates on a remote start that works without shutting off the truck upon opening the door and the best deal for push button ignition? 2019 Trd off road. Thanks gentlemen

 

All good info but was hoping for something I could use with my cell phone to remote start and lock and unlock. AND .. am I the only one who is a little disappointed with Toyota that my $43,000 (sticker) truck didn't already have remote start.

 

Nope! Disappointed but chose to live without it. Doesn't look like the 2020's get remote start either. But, we do get S driving mode for upshifting and downshifting .

 

Can anyone explain why the remote start shutting off when opening the door is in any way inconvenient, troubling or relevant in any way? Sounds like a giant who cares to me and i read people wanting to climb in the window to avoid???!!! What am i missing??

 

No. Climate control will be where you left it when you shutoff the truck.

 

Just got a 2020 push lock button once ,twice on third hold down and boom. started Nice

 

just bought a toyota Smart + remote starter for my 2018 tacoma TRD pro push start, has anyone installed one of these or have the installation guide for it
?, as it did not come with one?

 

Try googling the Toyota part number with "pdf" after it. The instructions gotta be out on the web somewhere.

 

Thanks for reply ,Ive tried everything i could think of in search term nothing seems to work.
