Gen3 Tundra Tips and Tricks

Pine cone. Send me your Venmo!! This is the answer!! It took a couple minutes and 2 starts /turn off ignitions to hear the fine lady come over the speaker saying it was active.

 

Hmmmm....I just checked my app. None of the Connected Services are activated. When I navigate to the Data Privacy Portal and select it, I get a message to "Go to Manage Subscriptions and add services to enroll in Connected Services." It does not display the Data Privacy Page.

So, clearly my truck is not collecting data on me, but my FOB remote start still works.

 

Haha! Glad I was able to help (courtesy of Steve's video).

 

I’m in the same boat after trying again. Put a new battery in the fob to be sure. For whatever reason, I can’t get it to work

 

Watch the other video pine_cone67 sent. Maybe that needs to be done to enable your remote start.

I personally don't use it on the Tundra. I hate that it shuts off. Although some evidence is out there for start up being hard on our motors, there is evidence that it is not. I believe from the testing and results I have found is the motor running at not up to temp is most harmful. I start my truck and look to drive away within 10 seconds. Drive easy until it is warmed up. Higher rpms give more oil flow and heat the motor up quicker where everything is at the size they were designed to be.

 

Prove me wrong

 

There are two that are free for 10 years

 

And I just looked that mine are active for the 10 years as you stated.

 

l have already.

As I said, I’ve never activated the connected services out of principle. It remains inactivated. FOB remote start still works.

Maybe it’s different if you fell for the “free” 1 year gimmick.

 

Try doing it faster or slower. The timing has to be PERFECT on mine for it to fire off. Mine is like 1thousand1, 1thousand2, 1thousandHOLD

 

Sounds kinky

 

Following

 

Well you gotta find the right spot to get her to open up....er start.

 

*Note - truck must be previously locked, windows up and tailgate closed

 

Is there a way to put all windows up or down with the remote?

I thought I saw that somewhere. Tried several remote button sequences yesterday.

 

Down yes,up...That's a negative.

 

How?

 

These are Carista options. Yes

 

To be honest it's been a couple of years.
So,if I remember correctly on the infotainment screen go to un lock options, you can have all windows or just selected windows, once you configured them you can drop with the fob,press unlock then unlock and hold.

 

Needs to be enabled in Carista? Then what to put them down?

Thanks

 

Yes. They offer both up and down.

 

Thanks Blufin. I will investigate in a little while after my son gets back with the Tundra. I don’t remember seeing that in the infotainment options when going through it. I may need to get Carista for a month. I believe someone has used it before as I don’t believe I have the V8 sounds and seat belt noise is absent. I don’t know why they wouldn’t enable the window. But I haven’t tried that sequence maybe.

 

Here’s a screenshot

 

Hey my apologies, I just tried accessing these settings on my infotainment and you will need Carista to do this option and other options as well.

I don't know if your Stealership will do this for you WO charge but if they do charge for $30 it maybe worth it vs buying and subscribing for a month.
Just food for thought.

 

There is a thread on Caristas where they get paid forward: https://www.tundras.com/threads/pay-it-forward-carista.144198/
Someone sent me a Carista on there, I used it, and sent it to the next guy. There are several in rotation now.

Also, if you open your sunroof, you can open it a little bit more after it stops if you push the open button again.

 

Is this just for the license usage?

I have a veepeak Bluetooth adapter, which I understand works great.

 

Yes, in fact, the one that someone sent me was a Veepeak Bluetooth adapter. I still had to pay Carista $10 for the month to use it, though.

 

The seatbelt chime will stop after about 5 minutes

 

You guys are really driving around with no seat belt on?

I can’t get comfortable without one anymore unless I’m out in the field sampling type deal

 

Cool but hell to the no would I wait out that sound for 5 minutes. Toyota did this right imo. Annoying enough to avoid it and be safer.

although I did turn mine off. Toyota probably getting kick back money from Carista lol
