Remote start shut down

Can the dealer change it so the engine will stay running when opening the door after remote start.

 

No. There are two or three threads on this.

 

I don't have it but that seems like it would be super annoying

 

Its unfortunate but no, the factory remote start will always shut off the car when the doors get unlocked.

 

it is an asian mfgr thing. probably done to appease the u.s govt law/rules. Ski

 

Sucks they can't get this feature right, my Camaro (2011) and Tahoe (2019) both stay on when opening the doors and you can't drive away unless it senses the proximity key.

 

nope. some makes leave it running, not tacos, I assume all toyotas are the same

 

Lexus is the same, shuts off when you open the door.

 

hmmm. I only found out others leave it running when my coworker walked up to his explorer and got in without it killing the engine. He said all Fords he's own stay running when the door is opened.

 

My roommates '19 f250 with factory remote start stays running even when u hit the brake. It just won't let you put it in D. It's super sweet. Fackin Toyota.

 

I have a 2019 Tacoma and it stays running. But I have the best setup! The proven old fashion key. My 2.7 sr5 has an H key. No push button. So it stays running.

 

Subarus are the same, no way around it.

 

it bothered me a bit until I realized how little I'd actually use remote start, maybe 3 times last winter. I always go out, jump in and forget I have it.

 

It doesn't really bother me. But it is annoying. I use my every day. I wish the timer was longer. I end up restarting like 2 or 3 times a day

 

yeah that would suck if I used it daily
