Remote start or not?

folks i'm new to the Toyota world and just purchased a 2017 Tundra CrewMax Limited, how can i tell if it has remote start? i've read several things but not anything conclusive. My keyfob has lock, unlock and panic button and thats it.

Thank you

 

Lock-lock-lock with a half second between each. If that doesn’t work try lock-unlock-lock. If that doesn’t work, you probably don’t have remote start. Those are the two primary remote start combos

 

I have the same truck and it did not come with remote start but I did add this aftermarket remote start and have been 100% satisfied.

For me its lock-lock-lock but hold the third one for about 2 seconds. There is probably an easy way to look somewhere but I'm not sure where it gets installed

 

Hi, just curious how hard was it to install.
Any advise or tips to make it a smooth install. Thanks

 

A watched a couple YouTube videos before I started and it ended up being a straightforward problem free install. Took less than 90 minutes start to finish. If you have the Toyota glass breakage sensor under the AC controls (looks like a tiny speaker near the USB port) you have a wire to splice but still easy.

 

Thanks for the reply, i will definitely do that. No glass sensor on mine

 

I looked back at the instructions and edited my post. Since you’re pre 2018 without the glass breakage sensor you shouldn’t need to splice any wires.

 

Its an easy install, if you have problems just call James he will get you going in about 2 minutes

 

Even if you had the Toyota remote start, you'd want an aftermarket one.
I can't imagine how pissed I'd be remote starting my truck and having it shut off when you opened the door....

Very happy with my Compustar and Drone mobile module/app..
I use the app a lot more than I thought I would.
Use it more to check voltage than anything...



But if I had a new truck, I'd probably use tech12volts remote start and his phone app module.

 

Sweet, getting ready to pull the trigger. Thanks again

 

Welcome from NY.

 

Just ordered it, now the waiting start.

 

I have a 12volt system, best mod to date for my truck especially in Texas.

 

I got mine through 12volt solutions, they have great instation instructions and videos, looks like they have a sale going on right now.

I couldnt bring myself to buy from the tech12volt site, it looks ridiculous, i went with the Accessorides kit, plus it turns out that its ran by a fellow USMC vet, so i like that Here is the link if anyone is interested. Did my 2020 and my buddies 2017, it was full plug and play no issues!

I had the dealership include the aftermarket Viper remote start. So far I like it; however, I would have liked the model that allows you to use your phone. I do have a 1,000 ft range, which is way better than my wife's stock honda remote start with maybe 50-75 ft.

 

Just installed mine today, had it since November, super simple to install

 

07 tundra CM (oldie but goodie) installed the tech12volt system last week simple install, dropped the truck off to have all new katzskins and AC cool seats installed and I will use that mod EVERYDAY here in So.Fla.

 

How is it working for you?

 

Pern, mine works 100% reason it was not a just PNP is bc I have an 07 Tundra so I had to tap 7 wires and program the remote it was very easy as per their instructions, I did check with them prior to buying so I knew I had to do that and the other plus is I use my own remote.

 

One of the easiest, and straightforward installs mods of done to the truck. Love everything about the functionality of the remote start. Paid a little more of the phone app so I can start it from the moon. Only issue was the 15 min timer before it goes into panic alarm mode. Pissed when I first discovered that while it was running in the winter while parked 100 yards away at my mom’s graveside funeral, but then supper excited when it when off after running in our closed garage after my 2 year old daughter found the keys in the house. That little alarm allowed me to ventilate things after that little oops.

You can tap into the white and black “key sense” wire to make it so the alarm won’t go off after it times out. I can find more info on that if you care about it.

 

Are these new OEM starters ok? PT39834150

Most people don’t like the Toyota remote start because it shuts off when you open the door. No way to keep the motor running and drive off.

 

Thx

 

My key ring came with a plastic instructions but since it was used the instructions are half rubbed of and missing. Luckily I figured it out. It does turn off when you unlock the door. It is lock, lock and hold lock for 3 seconds. I never remember to do it but it hasn’t been 110 degrees here yet so that will make me remember eventually.

 

just installed mine from 12volt solutions. Surprised how easy it was to install. Very clear video and pdf instructions. And they are only a phone call away if u need anything. I got the 3x lock kit.
