    Hi all you Gen 3 owners. I have questions about the key fob with remote start.
    Seeing it will be my first experience with push start etc etc once I get my new truck soon I hope ordered it May 14 and still waiting.I have watched a lot of videos on the new truck but have unanswered questions.
    Stupid questions.
    Can I leave fob in cab or do I have to carry it in my pocket at all times.
    If left in the cab will the doors lock automatically when leaving vehicle
    Will I be able to start/ unlock doors with my spare fob from the house.
    Please be gentle with your responses as I am learning about the new tech of this truck after all I am 70 years old lol.
    If you have any other input that will help me please let me know
    Thanks
    Gilles

    You can leave a fob in your truck but, you will need to power it off or, auto start will not work. I don’t think the doors will lock either.

    To turn off.

    hold down lock button while simultaneously pressing unlock twice.

    the red light will blink 4 times.

    Just a suggestion: When you get your new truck, carry the fob in your pocket or on your person just like you would the keys. That was Toyota's intent.
    Then after a few days, redecide if that's an issue to you.
