UPDATE*** I was at the movies, the credits started to roll, and I took my phone out to remote start, and it worked from inside the theater first try. I think the reason I’m having so much success with this app isn’t making sure The vehicle status is updated. Sometimes it says last updated and it was the last time you use the app or vehicle. Swiping down where it says vehicle status will refresh the status. I did that in the theater before trying to remote start. Like I said it worked right away. OP: I just purchased a brand new 2022 Corolla Cross, so far the app has worked for me. Twice it told me it failed to remote start the car and I tried it again right away and it worked the second time both times. A family member of mine has a 2020 Camry and has tried to use the app for years and has only had frustration, so I understand why the app is rated so low and I have my fingers crossed maybe it is on the upswing because of my early successful experiences using it. If I start to experience what my family member did and what the majority of the reviews on here have, I will adjust my review. also, since I got my car, the family member has had success with the app too. It is unacceptable for Toyota to produce an app like what this has been so far. It should be a great app and work every time. I hope this is the first of many positive reviews.

For some pretense, I am 24 years old and am most defiantly a car/truck guy. Before purchasing my new 2024 Toyota Tundra Limited Edition, I drove a Buick Lucerne CXL Special Edition. Making the switch to Toyota has been amazing. Their service, benefits, construction, integrity, and top tier performance has really sit well with me. I am just now about to hit 5,000 miles on the new Truck and the Toyota app has been fantastic! It allows me to lock and unlock my doors with ease, start my vehicle on a cold morning without even having to go outside, on a hot summer day I can start it and let it cool down. I have not had any trouble with the Toyota apps, the truck itself, or the excellent customer service that had been given. I have felt with many different vehicle brands, including luxury brands. Toyota by far to me is the best built, best benefits and best total experience. If you can find my other reviews, I am not one to give anything a 10/10. But in this case, I truly believe that Toyota deserves a 10/10 “Or 5 stars rather” for everything they have helped me with and stepping me into a gorgeous Truck I shall cherish for many years to come!

This app is way overpriced in my opinion. Toyotas are delivered with incredibly weak transponders which limit your range to the point where you may as well just walk to the car and start it by hand. Rather than improve the key tech they offer a pay app. The app will start your car and allow you lock or unlock your doors (most toyotas do not have lock on exit as an option). The app will let you know that you forgot to roll up a window or lock the doors. Rather than offer a common “lock on exit” function most other cars have, toyota offers a pay app. How about offering upgrades to the car and transponders? I would gladly pay 80 bucks to have my doors lock automatically when I walk away, and to be able to remote start from more than 10 meters. My office window is about 20 meters from where I park and the transponder fails to work at that distance. It’s ridiculous that you pay such a premium to have a reliable vehicle, and the solution to the cut corners attitudes are pay apps. How about just selling cars that function as advertised? I already had the dealership force an ATT plan on me to get hotspot functionality from the entertainment system. I already have hotspot on my phone and I don’t need that in my car. I don’t want to need my phone to open and start my car. This app should be offered for free as a consolation for the ineptitude of the vehicle designers to deliver the functionality you expect as part of the deal.
