Remote start? HELP

New member...Ashley
This is my second Tacoma, traded in my 18 OR 4x2 for a 20 OR 4x4 Monday night.
I have seen threads here about the key fob remote start (not Remote Connect). I've also seen some YouTube videos, all with different information.
I need help, please.
I attached a pic of the VIN specific equipment - namely ED Audio Plus and TP Technology Package. Some folks say the technology package is all that is needed to remote start the truck from the key fob using the lock, lock, hold lock method. Some others say the audio/nav package matters. Some say the premium package is required. I can't get a straight answer.
I tried it and the lights flash but truck doesn't start. I can't find any answers online as to if there's something I can activate to do this.
If I can't get it work on the key fob, Is Remote Connect something I can add aftermarket? I know I can buy a kit, but I'm trying to verify it's capable or not before that.
Please help and thanks for listening to my rambling.

Welcome .Bump on link ! I have 2020 Sport and just found this out. Works perfect now . My wife just got 20 Rav and same instructions apply and work for remote start using key fob. Very simple .

 

For the life of me I can’t understand why Toyota doesn’t make this more clear to the buyer. You shouldn’t have to figure out wether or not you have remote start.
