Remote Start not working correctly?

Too much snow so the remote start didn't work. I just took the car instead!

 

Oof. And I thought it bing 44 here this morning in Phoenix was bad!

 

What is the purpose of the remote start? Is it just for the A/C unit that you cannot control remotely and uses your last temperature settings? As soon as you unlock, the truck turns off. Just trying to figure what to use it for

 

100% useless for me. I would absolutely pay for the ability to control temperature and seat warm/cooling settings from my phone. But I can't. And to make matters worse, half the time the truck doesn't respond to my attempts to turn it on remotely.

I get that the allure of Toyota is "simplicity and reliability," but when you charge a monthly fee like it's a premium service then I expect a premium service with premium features.

 

See this would be a wonderful feature that I'd pay for.

Here in Arizona it snowed yesterday, but today is sunny at almost 60°. So leaving certain features on in an attempt to catch the right weather doesn't always make sense during a volatile season.

 

where are you hearing that? what do you mean, like more control options?
