I’ll have my 2019 Toyota RAV4 Limited I took it to the dealer and they told me I did not have remote start I watched a video today tried your keyless remote start hack and it worked thank you so much

[Fuzzbutt]

Thanks Jeff!!! Even my dealer didn't tell me about this feature. You da man!!!

It worked on my new 2021 Rav4 Hybrid Limited and my wife’s 2021 Venza Limited, however the timing had to be just right. Also Jeff you failed to mention the engine will shut off when you unlock or open the doors. I assume this is an anti theft feature but you would think by having the SmartKey nearby that it could override this and keep the engine running. Anyway another great video.

I was debating on purchasing a remote starter for both the 2020 Rav4 that I bought 18 months ago and my recently purchased 2021 Tacoma. I had been doing some research on remote starters and happened across this video explaining how to tell if you already have a remote start feature. I figured that I didn't have anything to loose so I tried the procedure on both vehicles and to my amazement it worked! Thanks for the video Jeff, you saved me a lot of money and aggravation!

I’m really not happy that my dealership did not convey such simple information. My wife purchased the remote start for her 21 Venza… which also has fob activated remote start . Thanks Jeff for all you do.

That was brilliant. You need to stop selling cars and make this your full time income.

Unbelievable…. Really. I was just going to call a place by my home to install a remote start feature on my FOB, when I stumbled across this video!! I have a 2023 Rav4 hybrid XLE. Worked perfectly. Thanks guy.

"ehhh you've been punked" lmao this man is the king of all dads

I’m looking forward to get RAV4 xle premium with weather package next February for my wife.😎

Curious thing about the remote start, I tried Jeff's tip on my friend's 2021 XSE and it worked (she didn't even know and the dealer didn't tell her. Vehicle had Premium Plus Audio). But, after I shut the car off and retried after a few minutes, it wouldn't work (lights wouldn't flash after third press-nothing). However, retrying after about 15 minutes, the remote start worked again. Seems to be some sort of restart delay. Note: She worships my genius now. After soaking that up for awhile, I told her about Toyota Jeff's Channel. Ha, ha!

[effullgent]

yes it works for mine, thank you! i wish toyota would just make it have it's own button like other brands. it's so much easier.

[elliegymnast]

This worked on my 2024 XLE gas!! Not sure if it’s the added on packages I have but it worked. Thanks!

[AbsoluteVoice]

say that you (Jeff) are one awesome salesman who really knows how to effectively and most professionally communicate.

[diarmuidcdc]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video, It worked on mine, I just purchased a rav4 limited yesterday and the dealer didn’t even tell me nor manual will tell ya, I just happened to google tips and tricks for this car and your video popped up. Love how you went to test it on different models . Thanks a million. Keep up the good work

[yogapants_teacher]

I actually asked my dealership to install remote start before I signed papers and then learned of this trick in a Facebook group for 2020 RAV4 owners. Worked! I cannot believe it isn’t easier to tell how to remote start it though. Toyota needs to rethink this.

[Jose-rhyp]

My local Toyota dealer never told me about this feature on my 2020 corolla XSE til I watched your channel. I have JBL premium sound system.

[iluvmybangs]

I got a 2021 xle gas and they told me it had remote doesn’t ☹️😤
