This video shows you how to use remote connect and its available features within the Toyota App.

Its in the strangest place. Exit the app. Press and hold the app icon on your phone screen, like you would if you were removing the app. The remote start and door locks will be included with the app options to uninstall and remove. I found it by accident when the app notification annoyed me to the point of wanting to get rid of it.

It would be good if you show us how to set it up

[ailanisanchez]

My app doesn’t show the engine start or anything like that

[Brimstin]

It would be really cool to put the windows up and down using the app. This would be particularly helpful in the summer. Toyota, can this be added in the future please?

[audiogeneral]

Would be nice if Toyota could put out a concise list of which vehicles the app works with. For instance can you use these features (with a paid or trial account) with a 2023 Corolla LE, or is it for use with only more expensive trims and models. I have seen so many asterisks and footnotes I am not sure what is what.

I just bought the XSE Prime with a premium package. In the app (iPhone) there IS NOT the Lock and Unlock feature. If you want it, you have to hold down the TOYOTA app icon like you are going to move it around on the screen. Inside there you will see LOCK and UNLOCK. Why it isn't in the app I don't know.

I have a 2022 Rav4 Hybrid SE. There is no remote start/lock option for the vehicle in the app. I don’t understand why a brand new hybrid with non-basic trim level doesn’t have this capability?

[marcuscharle]

For the price Toyota should add more functionality such being able to operate your windows remotely and schedule service with your Toyota Dealer of choice.

My question is when the car uses auto start and is currently running, is the car technically locked or unlocked during this time? I never know whether I need to press to unlock the car before opening it, I don't want to set off the alarm but also my car then shuts off when I open the door to get in even though it was already running. Then I have to start it again. But maybe if I try just opening it then it will continue to run. Or does opening the door either way shut the car off?

$40k car and Toyota charges $15 monthly for something Ford let’s me do for free in my $27k truck… makes sense.

[nematrafat]

Which cars have remote connect capability?

[Vitamindee]

Is there just a place on a website where u can find out if its compatible for your particular vehicle with out downloading the app 1st? The app seems to want and trace a lot of info

[DucPham-okko]

If i buy viper or compustar remote car start will it work for RAV4 XLE or XLE Prime ?

[sunnygogna]

Does it work with Apple Watch ⌚️ as well?

[santajerry]

2020 rav4 here, took them about 1/2 year to get it finally working properly. Had to take it into the dealer 4+ times just to get it fixed

[aeneas]

Where is the part where it says this app spies on us and sells our information ?

[lynnehogan-kuntz]

Does this app work with a vehicle that has an after market starter? I have only gotten this app to work once on my 2020 RAV4 TRD. So annoying to have a feature we cannot use with any consistency.

[bedfil]

Is it true I'll have to pay $8/month to keep the keyfob remote start working after 3yrs?

[danielriverafigueroa]

In my application on the mobile the image of the Tacoma does not appear as the video shows. but it does show the mileage and fuel level.

This works, but it will cost you (it did for my 2020 4-Runner Nightshade anyway) $9.99 a month or $80.00 annually for Remote Connect: Control your vehicle from almost anywhere. Remote Start/Stop the engine, lock/unlock your doors, check door or window status, check tires pressure, distance to empty, and more using your Toyota app.
