What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Has anyone seen anything from Toyota to confirm the remote start on TRD models? My 22 OR will not start from the fob, and I have remote services connected.

 

Are those bronze sliders? Sweet look!

 

It's available on all models with the push button start. So, if you have a manual tranny, then you don't have remote start.

 

Mine is an auto. I’ve tried every combination of button presses I’ve seen on here 25 times each. Not sure what the hell is up.

 

Nobody, ever, anywhere, was overheard saying, "Man, I'm glad I didn't have dashcam video of that truck running the redlight and totaling my new car. What a relief."

 

I think the secret sauce, is to click the Lock button on FOB, Click[1], Click[2], Click[3], Click[4](long hold, 1, 2, 3).

Try that see what happens.

 

I’m gonna keep trying, but I’ve done that combo probably 40 times with different speeds.

 

Fished out a dropped mirror housing nut with magnets, a piece of wire hanger (the flexible grab tool was too wide), trial and error, and time (sprinkle in some luck as well). Learn the tip I learned too late - when working above an inaccessible/questionable location (in this particular area things don't simply fall to the bottom of the door) wrap the top of the socket with electrical tape leaving 1/4 inch-ish above the edge, then the head of the nut presses the tape inside the socket and creates more grip. Or - use a magnetized socket. Add not rushing and taking some care and this will mitigate the potential for lost fasteners. I fail so you might not...

I thought about that after posting; 25 times each, for each 'combination' posted on this site. That's a lot of tries. Sorry it didn't start, then I'm sure you have heard that the remote start is 'free' the first year, thereafter requires a subscription, to Toyotas connected whatever it is called.

I was able to remote start my 2020 OR the first year, but installed the StartX thereafter and never had interruption of remote starting service. No I don't subscribe to Toyota connected service, ever.

 

Well that pretty much says it all. **Updated my post above: Click '4' times...**

 

Congrats!

 

For the most part, I love, 35% shorter is a good amount. A bit notchy, but I kind notchy. There's a hum , but you only hear it if you're listening for it. My biggest complaint is that once in gear, there's a ton of play so much so that if I had to do it over again, I'd probably give the Core short shifter a try and find a way to cover or black out the chrome on it.

For now I'll leave it in there.

It's on sale at the manufacturer website if anyone's looking.

How is the garmin wired?

 

Anything??

 

Lmao only if they’re at fault they curse the cam

 

Haha nope next on the list is alignment. Then it will be up on a rack and look at all the shocks and bushings. As far as I can tell everything looks really solid.

 

Mine plugs directly into my rear view mirror. If you have a rear view with the built in garage/home link buttons, they make a dongle adapter that plugs directly in to it.

 

Guys, today was the day. I think I had been clicking too quickly and/or not holding the last click long enough. That video was the “key.”


You guys rock, and I feel like a goober. Could Toyota have made this any more secretive and convoluted?
