Remote Starts on 2016 with push button start

I would like to get a remote start on my TRDsport. I'm concerned about the integration with the fob. I would prefer to not get another fob seeing both my cars have them, I don't want a third on the same keychain, and I don't want 2 key chains. Let me know what you have and how its working out for you.

 

I don't have my 16 yet but the dealer is installing a drone mobile remote start. It'll give me the ability to start it with my phone. Others have reported having non oem remote starters programmed to use the factory fob.

 

Mine, installed by the dealer, starts with the factory fob. Lock button three times starts the truck.

 

is it Toyota OEM? how much did it cost?

 

Subed

 

does everything still work normally? Door locks work as expected?

 

Woohoo, I created a thread someone is interested in!!

 

So let me make sure I'm reading the website right. You have to pay $450 for the OBDII plug-in and then a $50/year subscription?

 

Someone does this mean that we can send OBDII signals to the ECM and remote start our car that way??

Sounds like a cool embedded system w/ android app project I'm willing to create.

 

I had a viper smart start module and a second module installed from Jb's power centre now I can star it with my phone from anywhere I have service and also retain my factory smart fob for the push to start. The factory fob works to start the engine as well just press the lock button three times and it starts (obviously only with key fob range). The viper app costs $100 a year Canadian, but has lots of features such as gps tracking, geofencing alerts, you can set speed limits (if you've got kids driving and it will alert you). I payed $720 for parts and install. (Canadian)

 

I am not down for a subscription

 

I think if you run a Search you will find there are at least three other threads discussing this topic.

 

I went to a local installer and he tried to talk me out of using the factory fob to start the truck. He said that you have to do the three button pushes just right and you are limited to the range of the fob. Plus no confirmation of start.

 

$399 for the remote start. 3 year subscription is $100

 

you would be correct.

 

Toyota doesn't make a remote start.

 

Don't have a '16 Taco but on my '15 GX460 I can use EITHER the remotes to start the car. OEM fob---push the lock button 3 times, Aftermarket fob - push the Key button twice. The aftermarket can start/lock/unlock UP to 1 mile (line of sign) plus the 2-way communication while the OEM is about 3 yards max.

The engine STOPS every time you open the door (if it is remotely started)....My 2007 IS350, 2010 RX350, 2010 RX450h, and this 2015 GX460 do the same. Stupid design, Toyota.

 

I don't really care what you think...

 

only because you didn't search for the same thread that had already discussed this same issue a few months back.

 

^^ what he said.
