After market remote start

Well I got my 2020 Tacoma Trd OR and didn’t think to check for a remote start at the dealer, so now I’m looking for one that works and fits since most I’ve seen say they work up to 2019 and i don’t want to buy it and end up not being able to use it

Great service and customer support. I’ve had mine over 2 years and no problems. I have the cell phone option as well.

 

if your truck has an automatic trans and the "SOS" button on the overhead console, try pressing lock 3 times and holding on the 3rd press and see if it starts. I read on here the all automatic 2020s with connected services actually have an undocumented remote start.

 

Trying that right now brb

 

Back...


I have a auto and the sos and I did the 3 times and hold after a few seconds the lights flicker but it doesn’t turn on

 

did you hold until the lights started flickering?

This video demos it.

Yep I did and it did nothing

 

well darn, idk what causes it to work on some and not others then.

 

After all this thing going on i feel I need to take it to the dealership and figure it out

 

This is kind of like a snipe hunt.........except I didn't fall for the snipe hunt. LOL

 

Back to your original question, I don't know of any reason why any remote start listed for 16-19 models wouldn't work. I actually transferred my fortin evo one from my 16 A/T to my 17 M/T, but didn't have time to remove it from the 17 when I got the 20 so I bought another one and it works perfectly.

 

Most of them say something like this and me being the young not knowing anything bout cars 23 year old I’m scared to install it and fuck my brand new truck up

 

Interesting. Wonder why that is? I know you have to cut 1 wire on the keyed models like mine to make the oem remote work while remote started. Ok I looked up fortins instructions for the 2020 push to start and it seems to be something similar. They have you cut power to the telematics and run it though the remote stater box.

 

I tried this out today and it worked for my 2020 OR. I was literally looking into buying a kit for $160 and then I saw this. Glad I did. Also I have the Toyota app that allows for remoteconnect and start up using the Toyota app (I'm surprised the dealer didn't mention this to me when I was buying). I'm wondering if pressing lock 3 times only works if you have the remoteconnect subscription active.
