It's fine but even though my phone is on airplane mode, my phone is connected to a functioning WiFi. Why does it forces me to turn off the airplane mode when I'm connected to the Internet?

Needs to have more options to set remote start run times to more than just 10 mins. if desired, such as 10, 15 or 20 minutes would be good.

I love the fact that I can use my phone to start, lock/unlock the car, 5 stars but... Why is this a service I have to subscribe to when so many other cars add it has an option/1 time fee added in the cost of the car? Why does it turn off whenever you open door/trunk to me that defeats the point of remotely starting car? Why are all of these Toyota apps that I was told to add are horrible? Why does Toyota not offer navigation as an add on option? can only get on the higher level trim models..ugh

the app works but its clunky. you need fingerprint for every interaction to and its slow to process things. why not start the connection as the app starts so it just needs to send the request for the action and get the confirmation. the notification could actually say what it triggered instead of juat that it triggered one. maybe if its doors unlocked or windows down give the ability to put them up etc. from the notification

No bugs and no crashes. App works as advertised on my Android. Guess I have to agree with Brandon on this one re; having to subscribe to the app. Should be free. Definitely like the lock/unlock and remote start feature. Wish it would stay on when doors are opened. Seems redundant to have to restart the car AFTER starting it remotely. Car status feedback is also good.

After paying to get a key fob remote start unsalted at the dealer, nothing worked. Later I found out that if you have a key remote start installed by the dealer, this app won't work anymore. I ended up having to get the key fob remote start removed again in order to use the app. I've had to bring my truck into the dealer 3 times to get the remote start app to work. When it does work, the app is horribly slow and most of the time I just get error codes or it doesn't connect at all. Horrible.

About this app

Toyota Remote Connect, available on select 2018 or newer vehicles, is an advanced vehicle app that enables you to connect and manage your Toyota from any distance+. The app allows you to remotely lock/unlock your doors and start/stop the engine, find your parked vehicle, and set speed /distance alerts for guest drivers. Toyota Remote is optimized for your smartphone but not for tablets.
With the introduction of Wear OS smartwatch support, you can now enjoy these remote features by touch or by voice command from your smartwatch+.

FEATURES:

- REMOTE DOOR LOCK & UNLOCK: Not sure if you remembered to lock your vehicle? Now you can remotely lock and unlock your doors and receive confirmation if the action was successful. Should you accidentally unlock your Toyota remotely, the doors will automatically re-lock after 30 seconds if no further action is taken.
- REMOTE ENGINE START & STOP: Whether it's a cold morning or a hot afternoon, this feature lets you remotely start your vehicle to warm or cool the interior based on the last climate-control settings. The engine or hybrid system will run for up to 10 minutes or until any door is opened, the brakes are pressed, or the engine is turned off remotely.++
- PARKED VEHICLE FINDER: Locating your parked vehicle just got easier. Vehicle Finder uses the map on your smartphone to guide you to your vehicle's last known parked location.
- VEHICLE STATUS & ALERTS: With the touch of a button, you can remotely check the status of your vehicle's doors, windows, moonroof, trunk and hood, as well as the vehicle's current fuel level, odometer or trip mileage.
