    I've tried probably two dozen times as fast as I can get the button to click and no auto start. I've unregistered my truck from the Toyota app as well, so I'm wondering if that's the prob.

    Doesn't hurt to try, and it's nice. You can lock/unlock/start your truck with it, you can check how much gas you have left, you can even track it - super convenient if you go to an event and forget where you parked.

    That's strange, because mine never asks me to log in - it gives me the option to use FaceID or password to log in, but I'm fine with not having to do that.

    The app says my phone is incompatible. I guess my phone is too old. Lol I'm probably better off.

    Slot of people seem to have trouble with the remote start with the fob. It can be a little tricky. I've learned not to look at the truck lights when I do it. I look at the fob and push a steady 1, 2 hold 3. Not too fast and not too slow. Works every time. Maybe I'm just lucky.

    I've never used the app. I can't even download it to my phone. I wonder if the dealership registered it in my name before i picked it up. I know they turned on the satalite radio in my name because I got an email from XM days before I picked it up. I think you may be right. When you deactivated the app you probably turned off the fob also. You would think the fob should work wether it's registered or not. But the truck shouldn't shut off when you open the door either! Good luck.

    Also have Valet mode, guest mode. You can govern the speed and the range.

    True, I was tempted to limit the speed on my wife one night - but knew she’d be pissed and wanted to avoid the wrath.

    I just got a 2020 SR5 and the dealer showed me the remote start trick. After a few days I tried it myself. This is how it went. I click three times and on the third I hold, the lights flash and I let up the button on the fob and he truck starts. Doors are locked. I walk up to the truck and stand by the doors and the doors unlock. I get it. Truck is still running. I move the gear shift off the P and the engine dies. Now it won't start. I have tried: remote start, does not work. If I get in the do the regular start, everything boots up as if the engine was running, but the engine does not turn over. Only thing that seemed to work is wait, if waited about 10 minutes and went back to the truck, got in, depressed the start button and she starts right up.

    Must be some kind of anti theft timer?

    I'd take it back to the dealer and demo it. If I do remote start the engine shuts off when I open the door. You have to start it again once you get in.

    Meh, it was convenient once - trust me, I wasn’t a fan either - that’s why I was thinking about setting the driver restrictions. Haha

    My remote start works from keyfob or app. It doesn't always work when there's ice on the windshield covering those sensors. Unfortunately, that's when I want to use remote start the most.

    In general, it's clunky compared to other remote starts I've used. It takes longer and it doesn't always work. Id consider aftermarket if there's something not too expensive.

    I don't think the 2020 SR5 TSS Offroad has this option by default. If it does, I can't get mine to work.

    Keep trying, it’s not super easy - but once you get it, you get it.

    I concur with Johnson man. I have gotten my key to remote start and the app. I just wish the truck didn't turn off when you opened the door. We need a tech in the forum to figure this out for us.

    One side note (that I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned).

    It mentions pressing the button twice and then pressing and holding on the 3rd press. However (at least to me) you have to hold it for a pretty decent amount of time. It was like a full 5 seconds or so.

    This is true.

    And just an fyi, recent update for the Android app seems to have fixed the repeated authentication, the App is staying logged in now.

    Hey Guys,
    I just want to thank you as I didn't know my SR5 Sports had remote start!!! I picked it up about 2 weeks ago, new 2020, my saleman didn't show me anything, which is okay as like many of you I did my research but somehow missed the remote start until I started reading this thread. It worked first time holding the remote button. I haven't tried doing the app thing as I can't seem to get past the home page on it.
    I mean it, thanks a million.

    I have the 2020 SR5 SX Package - no remote start on my truck. I tried everything listed. I get the beeps and the lights, but no engine starting.
