It is absolutely ridiculous for Toyota to design it to shutdown when the door is opened after a remote start, rather than being able to drive away without it shutting down. If Toyota was trying to p*ss off their customers, they certainly did the right thing! I've had my car since 2019 and everytime it shuts down when I open the door after a remote start, I still cuss at Toyota for designing such an idiotic feature and there's nothing that can be done about it so far.
Thank you, I am so happy I found your video. I work at night and am afraid of someone jumping in car when I go to pump gas or park in parking structure. Thank you again.
a million thanks for this Steven. This one had us beat! - Who would have thought these settings would be in the radio. Toyota have some funny ideas. Our UK menu is a bit different from yours but your advice is good and easy to understand. Greetings from Scotland
Thank you! I have gone through my owners manual page by page and could not find how to make it stop unlocking all the doors when I shift to park! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Great tutorial but I did the vehicle customization for my door locks to Off but it’s not saving my preferences 🤔 It’s still automatically unlocking. Any idea on why it won’t save my settings?
Dear Steve, I find your videos extremely useful and are very educational, especially for us "Owners Manual" lovers! I own a '07 Toyota Corolla Axio (X) which has a 5-speed manual transmission and is fitted with a factory radio model no. NDDN W57. It is possible to program automatic door locking when I start driving, say , 20 kmph and unlock when I turn the ignition to OFF? I have been searching for an answer everywhere but to no avail. Hopes soared when I started watching your videos 😊
Excellent video but my complaints are that (1) I live a thousand miles from your dealership so buying one from you would be hard and (2) the waiting list for a new Toyota is currently ridiculous. My old Toyotas still run too well to replace so all I hope is complaint (2) changes before I need a car. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for all you help, We have a 2022 Highlander and with you tips we have not had to open the owners manual. every question we had you had the answers we needed.
Not sure it could cause them to get hotter so i could see the arguement that it would. keep in mind if it did then it would usually only do it on the modified parts
Just flip the lock when you get out. Dont use the key fob. Hondas are set when you flip the driver door lock all door locks. But toyota doesn't do this which is dumb. Also on honda when you unlock the door with the fob. And didnt open the door for a set amount of time it relocks. Which is cool.
Thank you! I just bought the 2024 last week and this key system is confusing as heck. In the morning taking my son to school he has to wait until I let him in the passenger side.

My 2016 Tacoma doesn’t have a “vehicle” tab in settings/setup. I have been trying so long to figure out how to get it to stop unlocking in park. Guess I will have to keep looking (the manual’s instructions do not work).
Hi Steve, I do have some questions. Let's say you been seated inside your car for let's say 30 minutes and you lock the car door. Then when you start your engine without unlock in your key fob. Do you think you can help me out. I tried to figure it out how to do that without unlocking the car door in a key fob. Please, thanks.
Kinda sad. I bought a 2022 Tundra and it doesn't have an automatic lock upon exiting feature. I had a 2017 Honda CRV, now the wife's car, that had this feature. I am so used to it, now I just have to remember... not a deal breaker, but I hope Toyota does this through a software update. It is a great safety feature in my opinion.
Hello Steven Welch, would you have to have a solution when the Rav 4 door is not responding properly to the remote, it very intermittently unlock or not unlock at all..

Great video, just wondering if there’s a way to change how long you have to hold the driver’s side handle for before it unlocks all the doors. My owner’s manual says it’s customizable, but I don’t see the option anywhere
In my Tacoma 21 why can I not select which doors specifically to lock or unlock? I want to keep my rear passenger doors locked except from the outside to prevent kids from opening the doors on the inside while in motion. How can I do this? The setting is not there in my truck

I'm just glad I found this out before taking both my Camrys into the shop which was the recommendation.....just think what the hassle would of been with Service being unable to determine the problem and myself not knowing any better.
Is there a way to disable the door handle proximity unlock feature? I took my 2021 hylander hybrid to my local Toyota dealer and they told me ut hasn't possible.

I have a Corolla Touring Sports 1.8 Hybrid 2021, and there is no Lock options under the Vehicle Menu. Only Unlock... Has Toyota removed the auto lock function from some models?
@@stevenwelchtoyota No, I just want the doors locked when the car starts moving/by speed. Under "Door lock Settings" menu, there is just 3 options: 1)Remote 2-Press Unlock 2)Select Doors to unlock 3)Smart Entry & Start System. Nothing related to lock. Just wondering if the autolock feature was removed, or if it's something that can be fixed/updated
Do you know why my doors would suddenly stop unlocking when I grab the handle? It’s been doing weird things so I put a new battery in the fob, now I’m having issues when I go to lock the car it automatically unlocks. Unless I use the fob. Toyota RAV4, 2016 I believe

Can you remove/delete Toyota ETune, The software for the radio system to synch with your usb/mp3/smart phone, etc. It doesn't work here in the USA anyways
I am trying to figure out how can I set my car for lock if self, I got a 2018 Highlander and my husband has a Tundra, if he doesn't lock the truck, a few minutes later the truck lock by it self but my car doesn't. And we put that selection in the radio but nothing happens.
Ok Thanks for taking the time to reply! It is very much appreciated!! Can I ask another non related question but relating to the CHR? I’m going to upgrade the weak horn with a twin (all in one) horn and this was suppled with a replay. If I upgrade the fuse for the horn circuit to a higher rating, do a straight swap, run an earth from the negative side of the horn - would this work as intended? I have been told that the horn on the CHR has already got the relay for the horn circuit so presumably wouldn’t need an another relay. Obviously as gong to the effort of fitting an airhorn it would make sense to have it working to the best of its ability (i.e Loud!) The brits in certain areas are lousy drivers at best! I work on EMS and am out on the roads most shifts. The standard of the driving really is very poor here in certain areas!😳🫣 Ps do you have a tutorial on how to remove the front bumper on a CHR? If not do you have step wise instructions of how I go about doing this too gain access to the stock horn? Sorry for all the questions, but thought why not ask an expert who knows Toyotas inside out!!? Cheers Jon B
Amazing thanks!! And also the speed you replied, fantastic ! Keep the video content coming, great well explained content relating Toyotas !! I’m a fan😊
We have a 2021 toyota highlander LE. We can’t seem to find the lock function so when you turn car off and walk away the car should lock automatically. We can’t seem to find that. Thank you
I have a 2012 Camry XLE. I don’t have a menu button for my door locks. Having a large family, and having to open the door and push the unlock button is annoying
If you get an ELM327 Bluetooth OBD scanner adapter and a suitable app such as Car Scanner or Torque, you'll be able to monitor all the car's systems, check for fault codes, reset warning lights and change customisable settings. I've just got one for my 2010 Vellfire, and now have one-touch remote lowering and raising of all the windows.
We just purchased a 2021 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Premium. Does this model have this feature? We're not seeing this within the audio section. Also, is there a way to set the headlamps to turn on and shut off automatically? #firsttimetoyotaowner #rookie
You can set what doors open through the settings menu. There is no auto on for the lights but if you leave them in the on position the default off is in 60 seconds
I have 2018 toyota fortuner ,, the door locker keeps locking all doors by itself, even when I lock the car I can still hear the clicking keeps locking, today took more than 30 minuts and stoped,, please help
I like no auto-unlock for security and lock the doors when you put it in drive for security and safety; No one should be opening a door and getting out with the car in drive, at least 99% of the time anyway.
Of course this video doesn't help for anything earlier like my 2019 Toyota Camry. If they cared enough about their Customers, Toyota could have long ago fixed this issue with a simple software or firmware over-the-air update back in 2018 since most cars have that option in the menu under general settings and the car has the capability to receive updates over the air. But because Toyota drags their feet in everything having to do with change, they've only come out with something for 2023 vehicles. I wish they would send out the update to all vehicles that are over the air update capable. Or somebody come up with a software or firmware hack that could easily fix the problem.

@@fishalope5 Thanks Sophie...yep I have learned something new, I even contacted my Toyota Dealer in Los Angeles and let my "go to " person know what I had learned. He himself being with the dealership for 20 years did know about this "smart feature"...he will be sharing this with his Techs. I'm just glad I found this out before taking both my Camrys into the shop which was the recommendation.....just think what the hassle would of been with Service being unable to determine the problem and myself not knowing any better.
Thank you so much!!!!
Happy to help
Thnx...

Is there a way to disable the door handle proximity unlock feature?
I took my 2021 hylander hybrid to my local Toyota dealer and they told me ut hasn't possible.
You can disable the fob broadcast
@@stevenwelchtoyota I am not looking to disable the FOB from broadcasting as I am aware of temporarily being able to turn it off, but rather I don't want the doors only to unlock based on proximity.
do a video of tips and tricks!!!!
will do
Thank you!!
Happy to help
I have a Corolla Touring Sports 1.8 Hybrid 2021, and there is no Lock options under the Vehicle Menu. Only Unlock... Has Toyota removed the auto lock function from some models?
are you asking if you walk away and auto lock?
@@stevenwelchtoyota No, I just want the doors locked when the car starts moving/by speed. Under "Door lock Settings" menu, there is just 3 options: 1)Remote 2-Press Unlock 2)Select Doors to unlock 3)Smart Entry & Start System. Nothing related to lock. Just wondering if the autolock feature was removed, or if it's something that can be fixed/updated
Thanks for the tutorial, BUT 🙂 you forgot to mention from what year to what year this system work like that.... hummmm 🙂
several work the same way.
When I go to vehicle customization all that comes up is convenience services. It used to say door locks etc. Any ideas?
which vehicle?
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Does a 2019 C-HR have the automatic door lock feature ?
When you put it in drive? yes
how to lock Toyota RAV4 from outside with the remote when ignition is running?
not possible. you can use the emergency key
Hey hey, been trying to figure out how to make my Toyota Urban Cruiser lock automatically and to lock all doors when locking drivers door
Do you have the door sensors?
Do you know why my doors would suddenly stop unlocking when I grab the handle? It’s been doing weird things so I put a new battery in the fob, now I’m having issues when I go to lock the car it automatically unlocks. Unless I use the fob. Toyota RAV4, 2016 I believe
if it sees the key inside the car it will do that. you may have given it full power and it could see it inside the car. have the fob further away
@@stevenwelchtoyota the cabin lights ended up going on and off by themselves and killed my battery. We ran a test before and after a new battery tho and it failed several communication errors so I have an apt next week for a mechanic to look at it :/
Can you remove/delete Toyota ETune, The software for the radio system to synch with your usb/mp3/smart phone, etc. It doesn't work here in the USA anyways
not that I know of
Can I do this in my 2011 Venza v6 with navigation system?
most likely not
Why does my 2023 Highlander XSE only unlocks for the person holding the fob??
has to be within 3 feet of the handle
I am trying to figure out how can I set my car for lock if self, I got a 2018 Highlander and my husband has a Tundra, if he doesn't lock the truck, a few minutes later the truck lock by it self but my car doesn't. And we put that selection in the radio but nothing happens.
you mean if you dont open the door it relocks?
How do you lock it when the key is in your purse? Sometimes
It work with the handle and sometimes it doesn’t
should touch the door with the key within 3 ft
Great thanks
Happy to help
I have a 2021 chr and for some odd reason the door just stop locking when I put it in drive I'm trying to figure out how to set it back help please 🙏
You need to set it to shift from park under doors lock
@@stevenwelchtoyota thanks I will try I was watching your video yesterday
doesn’t the rav4’s has unlock by approaching / lock by leaving like some hondas, mazdas, etc?
Not like that no
Hi
Do you know of a way of having the car auto lock when you walk away from the car (with the key) on you? TIA
It's not able to be done on a Toyota yet
Ok Thanks for taking the time to reply! It is very much appreciated!! Can I ask another non related question but relating to the CHR?
I’m going to upgrade the weak horn with a twin (all in one) horn and this was suppled with a replay. If I upgrade the fuse for the horn circuit to a higher rating, do a straight swap, run an earth from the negative side of the horn - would this work as intended? I have been told that the horn on the CHR has already got the relay for the horn circuit so presumably wouldn’t need an another relay.
Obviously as gong to the effort of fitting an airhorn it would make sense to have it working to the best of its ability (i.e Loud!) The brits in certain areas are lousy drivers at best!
I work on EMS and am out on the roads most shifts. The standard of the driving really is very poor here in certain areas!😳🫣
Ps do you have a tutorial on how to remove the front bumper on a CHR? If not do you have step wise instructions of how I go about doing this too gain access to the stock horn?
Sorry for all the questions, but thought why not ask an expert who knows Toyotas inside out!!?
Cheers
Jon B
@@jonmbaker I don't see an issue in just swapping it
Amazing thanks!! And also the speed you replied, fantastic !
Keep the video content coming, great well explained content relating Toyotas !!
I’m a fan😊

We have a 2021 toyota highlander LE. We can’t seem to find the lock function so when you turn car off and walk away the car should lock automatically. We can’t seem to find that. Thank you
Toyota does not do that. You have to touch the door handle on the sensor of a vehicle with a smart key system to lock it
@@stevenwelchtoyota Yes we have the LE model. No touch function on the handle
@@875daily then you will have to hit the button to lock it
@@stevenwelchtoyota hey steven. the LE has the touch area on the handle. thanks for the video
@@stevenwelchtoyota hi sir then why the function is there ( the relooked after 30/60/120) thank you.
I have a 2012 Camry XLE. I don’t have a menu button for my door locks. Having a large family, and having to open the door and push the unlock button is annoying
You need a newer one. Yours does not have that option
how do i turn on the horn when i lock and unlock my toyota highlander, XLE AWD 2018, please let me know, how can I do that 🤔
It has a tone it does not use the horn
@@stevenwelchtoyota
Thanks buddy,
this car has remote start options.?
@@viralgolden yes
@@stevenwelchtoyota
Sorry about, but I don't know how I can do that. Can you please let me know 🙏
Thanks i did not know that! Question about reardoor, my prius 2 ( 2004) sensed vingers on reardoor and opend. My prius 2013 don't??
It does not have a automatic door
How do you access these functions for Vellfire with aftermarket head unit?
I am not familiar with that unit
If you get an ELM327 Bluetooth OBD scanner adapter and a suitable app such as Car Scanner or Torque, you'll be able to monitor all the car's systems, check for fault codes, reset warning lights and change customisable settings. I've just got one for my 2010 Vellfire, and now have one-touch remote lowering and raising of all the windows.
Helpful!
Thank you
We just purchased a 2021 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Premium. Does this model have this feature? We're not seeing this within the audio section. Also, is there a way to set the headlamps to turn on and shut off automatically? #firsttimetoyotaowner #rookie
You can set what doors open through the settings menu. There is no auto on for the lights but if you leave them in the on position the default off is in 60 seconds
How do you make it that sound instead of the horn honking when you unlock?
What vehicle do you have?
Thanks!!!!
You are Welcome!!
Hilux conquest 2021 does have this feature?
Not sure about the Hilux
Thanks
No problem
I have 2018 toyota fortuner ,, the door locker keeps locking all doors by itself, even when I lock the car I can still hear the clicking keeps locking, today took more than 30 minuts and stoped,, please help
you probably have a issue with the key fob.
I have a 2014 Rav4 and I don’t have that kind of stereo
No walk away auto lock on RAV4? Modern Honda cars has that.
its not something toyota owners ask for. kind of a useless feature
When you go to the vehicle customization screen is the car running on just the key turned one click
can do it either way
I like no auto-unlock for security and lock the doors when you put it in drive for security and safety; No one should be opening a door and getting out with the car in drive, at least 99% of the time anyway.
Great point
How can I keep door locked when put the car in park why the car running...so that way no one can pull the door and get in your car
here is your answer ua-cam.com/video/KH3KJy5MxbQ/v-deo.html
Does all your doors unlock when you turn off the ignition
yes but you can set it how you want
Of course this video doesn't help for anything earlier like my 2019 Toyota Camry. If they cared enough about their Customers, Toyota could have long ago fixed this issue with a simple software or firmware over-the-air update back in 2018 since most cars have that option in the menu under general settings and the car has the capability to receive updates over the air. But because Toyota drags their feet in everything having to do with change, they've only come out with something for 2023 vehicles. I wish they would send out the update to all vehicles that are over the air update capable. Or somebody come up with a software or firmware hack that could easily fix the problem.
I believe you can ask to have it updated on yours when you have service performed
Ok, Thanks. I'll have to try that when I go in next time.
