    Do we seriously not get anything besides a pretty picture of the truck? I can understand no remote start, but no lock or unlock? Super frustrating on my 2020 TRD Pro 6MT

    I use it to access the manual if I’m too lazy to go to the truck but yes it’s useless.

    You get an immobilized ignition and a chipped key that makes it harder to steal and drive away.

    Purchased Toyota Certified, with Vijay bumpers, additional lights, and Falken Wildpeaks on Fuel rims. Prev owner apparently painted the grill.
    I have no real knowledge, but having poked around here on TW, I wonder if the previous owner may have shut down all the spyware. On one hand it would be nice for me to be able to locate my Taco on some rare occasions, but that also means that someone else may be able to. It really would be nice to be able to check if the windows are all closed, and to close them remotely if it starts raining. Other than that, I'm not sure what benefit an electronic leash would gain me.

    I cannot do any of that with my truck that I bought new (and I have the same exact truck as you).

    The automatics also have an immobilized ignition and a chipped key… they also have the app ability to lock start and unlock their trucks.

    Because if I forget to lock the truck, it’s nice to be able to do it from anywhere. Or if my wife wants to get something out of it but doesn’t have the key with her.

    Yeah making sure windows are closed is good, being able to lock doors, unlock them, see tire pressure, check on the status of the truck, CEL wise.
