    Did the 2014 Tundra Platinum come with remote start? Is there a way to look up the vin of same truck to see "exactly" what it has for all options?

    The engineers thought it would be good if the remote start turned off when the door is opened...so you have to restart when you get in....go with a good aftermarket one. Works just like the Chevy and dodge.

    The dealer can look up all of the factory and dealer options by using the VIN. The dealer here couldn't figure out how to print it, though. As for factory vs aftermarket remote start, go with aftermarket if you don't already have one.

    Ok. Thanks for the info! So I take it the answer to my question would be that Toyota does in fact put remote starts on "ALL" 2014 Platinums?

    Toyota can be unpredictable, but I would be surprised if a Platinum did not have remote start. The only way that I can think of to be positive would be to connect TechStream up to it and see if it is in there. The dealer will be able to do this, but I'm sure they'll want some money.
