Remote start and go

Will Toyota ever chnage their remote start for my 2020 TRD sport 4x4 so the motor doesn't shut down when opening the door?

 

That's pretty unlikely. They've been doing this since their OEM remote starters were first introduced. There is unfortunately no way to override it.

 

No, its an anti-theft failsafe.

 

Nope. There may be some sort of aftermarket product, but it'll never come from Toyota.

 

It's already coming from toyota. Not sure they'll apply it to older models though. About time since it's pointless.

*Select model year 2023 and newer vehicles equipped with Remote Connect will allow you to remote start and drive-off. You can review your vehicles features and capabilities within the Toyota app or refer to your Owner's Manual.

 

well I'll be damned. did not expect that. I agree, the feature is unlikely to be reverse compatible.
