    From my research, it sounds like remote start was added to the Tacoma starting with 2020s. It's stock on the Pro, but for all the lower trims, if it the Premium Audio package that you need to have to get the "Remote Connect (133)" in order to get remote start?

    I don't get why they don't advertise it like with some of Toyota's cars/SUVs.

    One of the few changes to the Tacoma for 2021 was the addition of Remote Connect for the TRD Sport and TRD Off Road. Previously, it was only included at those trim levels if you opted for the premium package.

    If you push the lock button on the remote on the remote 3 times holding for 3-5 seconds on the third push it should start. I didn't have the app on the truck either. Called the Toyota 800 number and they did a remote refresh which got it working with the iPhone app.

    “If you are experiencing any concerns or have any further questions, please contact us at 800-331-4331. Our hours of operation are 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. CT Monday through Friday and 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. CT Saturday.”

    Awesome news, thanks! Do you know what year they started adding the remote start with the premium package (for the older models), was that 2020s or did it start in 2019?

    It was working at the first time, but when I try to connect with an app on the phone it stopped working.
