Jeff can you help me, i have a question, i recently purchased a Rav4 2021 XLE, and im having issues with the bluetooth sound, when i pair my device, my music no matter with which player i reproduce it, block the audio and bring it back every time. I dont know why is that happening, even the calls are being affected
@@geradesalem Yes, this is the safety feature so if it was a thief, they can't take off with your car. Its normal for this, it should turn off in 10mins on its own if you don't get to the car in time or forgot.
I’ll have my 2019 Toyota RAV4 Limited I took it to the dealer and they told me I did not have remote start I watched a video today tried your keyless remote start hack and it worked thank you so much
One can feel the Best dad and best buddy vibes coming out of him all the time. Simple, jolly and entertaining yet very informative videos..info that greedy dealers won't provide you.. thank u for excellent videos.
Unbelievable…. Really. I was just going to call a place by my home to install a remote start feature on my FOB, when I stumbled across this video!! I have a 2023 Rav4 hybrid XLE. Worked perfectly. Thanks guy.
I’m really not happy that my dealership did not convey such simple information. My wife purchased the remote start for her 21 Venza… which also has fob activated remote start . Thanks Jeff for all you do.
I was debating on purchasing a remote starter for both the 2020 Rav4 that I bought 18 months ago and my recently purchased 2021 Tacoma. I had been doing some research on remote starters and happened across this video explaining how to tell if you already have a remote start feature. I figured that I didn't have anything to loose so I tried the procedure on both vehicles and to my amazement it worked! Thanks for the video Jeff, you saved me a lot of money and aggravation!
It worked on my new 2021 Rav4 Hybrid Limited and my wife’s 2021 Venza Limited, however the timing had to be just right. Also Jeff you failed to mention the engine will shut off when you unlock or open the doors. I assume this is an anti theft feature but you would think by having the SmartKey nearby that it could override this and keep the engine running. Anyway another great video.
@@rastaming6884 i want to know the same thing. I remotely start my car from my app but when I get in the car it shuts off? Jeff how does do we keep the car running when we use remote start and get in the car?
@@brandylmcquillen5361 there is no way to override this. If you remote start your car, the min you open the door, it will shut off the engine. It's an anti-theft feature
my 2023 Xle hybrid Rav4 - has remote start... nobody at my dealership mentioned this feature - so when I gave this a try after owning it for over a year I couldn't have been happier! thanks for the tip :) btw - I ran around my car too when I realized it actually worked - now I have to figure out how to leverage this info to get my wife to make my favorite dinner :)
Curious thing about the remote start, I tried Jeff's tip on my friend's 2021 XSE and it worked (she didn't even know and the dealer didn't tell her. Vehicle had Premium Plus Audio). But, after I shut the car off and retried after a few minutes, it wouldn't work (lights wouldn't flash after third press-nothing). However, retrying after about 15 minutes, the remote start worked again. Seems to be some sort of restart delay. Note: She worships my genius now. After soaking that up for awhile, I told her about Toyota Jeff's Channel. Ha, ha!
It seems the timing has to be just right, I got it work twice in less than 5 minutes, but I had to try maybe 3-4 times the second time. Maybe the timings of the presses has to be just right, but I’m not sure, that was my first and only time I’ve ever tried it.
I actually asked my dealership to install remote start before I signed papers and then learned of this trick in a Facebook group for 2020 RAV4 owners. Worked! I cannot believe it isn’t easier to tell how to remote start it though. Toyota needs to rethink this.
AMAZING! just got a Rav4 today and went back and forth about having Toyota install a remote engine starter. I have a 2019 Limited and it works!!! also have a touches tailgate.. neither of which they said I have! woohoo!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video, It worked on mine, I just purchased a rav4 limited yesterday and the dealer didn’t even tell me nor manual will tell ya, I just happened to google tips and tricks for this car and your video popped up. Love how you went to test it on different models . Thanks a million. Keep up the good work
Yup, had no idea. Just bought a 2017 RAV4 and salesman didn't even tell me. First morning of new ownership I almost walked away with it running! I almost thought I had some strange defect and was going to call the dealership. Thanks!!!
Wish I could’ve bought my rav 4 xse hybrid from you Jeff. I bet you make the car buying process seem less. So many salesman don’t have any idea about the products
Finally! I’ve found someone who is as excited as me about remote start!! ... but my 2020 Corolla Hatchback XSE with Audio Plus doesn’t have it...it’s a 6 -speed manual!! 👍🏼 I did, however, have the all-windows-down from the key feature enabled, you should demo that- I’m sure lots of people would like that too!
Yes, I confirmed my ‘22 RAV4 Limited Hybrid has the remote start. I’m pretty disappointed that the engine shuts down when you open the door. My 2004 Chevy Malibu had factory remote start, and it would adjust the climate control system based on outside temps. Also, the engine would continue to run after you opened the door. The anti-theft explanation doesn’t really make sense.
@@reganharvey8468 you download the Toyota app (connect to your Toyota) and it walks you through the process. I had to go to my car and do stuff on the screen to link the app to my car. My Rav came with one year free keyless entry. You can lock your doors from the app and see your mileage, etc. it’s pretty cool!
Thank you so much!!! Our salesman didn't take the time to show us this. He mentioned that it had it, but didn't know how it worked, so that was that. We would buy a car from you if we were down by you for sure!
Jeff I did exactly what you showed at your dealership on my 2020 limited RAV4 hybrid and it would not start this is something that has to be programmed into the car?? .
@@Toyotajeff i can I upgrade to audio plus on my rav4 XLE premium after I ordered it and it arrives to the dealership or is that a factory ordered thing
Toyota has another hidden gem. You have to take your FOB to the dealer and they can program it (turn the option on) but you can do the same thing with the unlock button and you can roll down all your windows and open the moon roof all together. Great option on one of those really hot days. I really wish that would be a standard thing, I have no idea why the only way to get that done is to have the dealer do it.
@@dg99004 Yes, they did it for me for free. I also have another friend that has the same car I do (hers is a 2019 and mine 2020, even though we bought them the same week) and they did it for her for free as well. Different dealerships as we live in different cities.
Hi! I was wondering if you need to be enrolled in any Toyota services (remote connect, etc.) for this to work? Or is the only requirement Audio Plus? I have a 2021 Corolla SE Hatchback, it says I have Audio Plus.
Thanks for the valuable info. Quick question, why does the vehicle shutoff when opening the door after remote start? Isn't it intended for allowing the vehicle owner to quickly drive off without having to get into the car and starting the ignition? (2020 RAV4 hybrid Limited AWD)
Hi Jeff. I have ordered a new RAV4 AWD in Executive trim. This version is quite like the USA Limited with the chrome door handles and leather seats. What I can’t find in the description, not in the brochure or anywhere else, is whether the audio system still features AM reception. Quite unlike other places on this planet, AM radio is pretty much alive in The Netherlands, no, these are not pirates but licensed stations. I know that there are differences between European and USA versions like frequencey steps and the lack of sat reception outside the USA but other than that, the systems were pretty much the same. The car will be a 2023 model and it is delivered not sooner than august 2023. Thanks! Greetings, Willem, Hekelingen, The Netherlands.
I bought a 2016 Limited, it had a large antenna in the upper part of the windshield like my other car had, much smaller for my viper remote start. I was going to try this one day, my wife accidentally did this and the car started up. When she got home she told me the car started up on its own LOL. WOW, the dealer didn't have it listed I only had 1 fob that came with it. I'll assume it was added on to the car at some point OR did the factory installed one come with the antenna stuck to the top of the windshield? No markings on the antenna.
So do you only have to have a paid subscription to Toyota app to have the remote start? When I brought my 2020 RAV4 it would remote start but then it stopped and it looked like you had to pay for only.
What about 2023 RAV4 Hybrid? They got rid of the audio plus… now going to either a 8” or 10.5” head unit with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Which ones will have remote start by key fob?
Hi Toyota Jeff! Thanks for the great info. I love being able to remote start my 2021 Rav hybrid. I have a question about the settings my car is at when I start it remotely, and how to make sure it remotely starts using the settings you last used?? For example defrost and heated mirrors??
I don't understand why Toyota has buried this in such a way that its hard for normal customers to tell, and even most salesmen wouldn't even know. If the vehicle has an important feature that Toyota has obviously put some of the cost in, which remote start clearly is in a lot of places where it gets super cold - list it! My Honda and Acura clearly came with instructions on how long the remote start would keep the car on, how to extend the start, from how far away the function would work and also has a two way function on the fobs.
I wish it stayed running when I open the door but it shuts off. I know it's to prevent theft, but the smart key should be able to override that feature. Also, the TRD tech package is really rare for 2021, settled for the TRD weather package in white.
Hi there! I bought RAV4 XLE 2021 recently. But there is no remote engine start function. How it possible, RAV4 XLE 2021 and no remote engine start?? It’s a weird. I tried to do as Jeff showing in the video but it doesn’t work. Can anyone advise me something? Can I fix it somehow or not?
My girlfriend just bought a 2018 rav4 xle and it does have remote start. Only thig is when you go to get in and hit the unlock button , it shuts off. Is this really a Toyota design?
However, will a 2023 gas LE base line remote start via the Toyota app and the on the go subscription? I did added the app and bought the subscription....still can't figure out how to remote start it.
It works on my Camry Hybrid LE. I have the upgraded option as follows: Audio package, sunroof package, convenience package, Blind spot monitor W/Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
Thanks for this video. What is the distance range for this remote start to work? if it is within 3 ft then it is easier just to get in the car and push the button ONCE and instantly start the engine.
@@brittanyjaramillo8634 This is the same issue with Subarus and other Toyotas and Lexus. When the car is running after engine remote start and you unlock to open the door, the car kills the engine as a anti theft method. This is so when you get inside, it has to re engage the remote start (when I press the button) by confirming the encrypted handshake between the key fob and car. This also allows the car to run a full internal car scan for issues which it skips and only limits it to engine when you do the engine remote start. There is sadly no other alternative to this, even with after market engine remote start.
O M G!! I had no idea I could do this from my key. I actually called the dealership to get a price for a remote start key - $384! I can do it with the app on my phone but didn’t know I could use my key too. Wow!! Thank you!!!! I do have a question. Once it is remote started and you get in the car, it seems to turn off again and you have to restart it. Is that the case? 2020 XSE Hybrid with all the packages.
So looks like it will not work without audio plus. If not, can a viper remote start be installed to my 2020 Rav4 Xle hybrid? Or can the audio plus be upgraded to the vehicle now?
Hi Jeff! My name is WILBERT. I have a 2022 Toyota RAV4 limited with a grade advanced technology package. I checked the window sticker, and then it has the audio plus option. Unfortunately, I tried many times to start my car with the remote key by following your instructions on the video, and it doesn’t work in my car. Press the lock button one time, and release, second time, and release, and then third time, and hold down. Is there anything that is deactivated by mistake in my settings?
I found that remote start feature works with one of my FOB's but not the other. I have a 2020 RAV4 Hybrid LTD. Not sure how to get the other FOB to remote start it?
Remote start worked on my 2020 RAV 4 but few days ago i activated locking windows via physical key and unlocking windows via physical and remote key too by car scanner and then this remote start system decided to stop it's work Pressing 2 times lock button and holding it at the third time = no result to activate engine What's the problem and how to activate remote start?
You know, I just recently got one of these, granted it’s a 16 but it’s a limited and I never knew if it had remote start because it didn’t have the usual start button. Either way this video just randomly popped into my feed and boy Andy I ever glad it did, I was thinking I was going to have to get one, granted I never check the manual yet to be sure but based on the fob….so, I tried what you said and VROOM!! I’ll be darned, the bigger started, what a nice surprise, thanks for the video and thank god UA-cam threw it up for me to see or I’d have waited to check the manual.
Toyotajeff I just bought a preowned rav4 with audio plus and does not have remote start. MSRP says audio plus. That does not mean it comes with remote start. Rav4 hybrid.
Thanks!!! Our salesman told us the only way to remote start was to subscribe to the phone app (I didn't). This worked!! Important tip as we're getting into winter in the northern states.
My 2022 RAV4 Hybrid SE has the bigger screen and the paperwork I have says that Audio Plus is installed. Remote start doesn’t work for me. Did I get scammed?
Good day Jeff. I have the 2020 Rav4 XLE without the Audio Plus and of course I don't have remote start. How much would Toyota charge to install remote start in my vehicle?
Jeff! I just went into the dealership and got approved for a 2020 RAV4 Hybrid XSE! It’s shipping from Kentucky... is there a difference between the USA based vs. overseas ?

If the vehicle has an important feature that Toyota has obviously put some of the cost in, which remote start clearly is in a lot of places where it gets super cold - list it! My Honda and Acura clearly came with instructions on how long the remote start would keep the car on, how to extend the start, from how far away the function would work and also has a two way function on the fobs.
I wish it stayed running when I open the door but it shuts off. I know it's to prevent theft, but the smart key should be able to override that feature. Also, the TRD tech package is really rare for 2021, settled for the TRD weather package in white.
Rusti, I agree
Hi there! I bought RAV4 XLE 2021 recently. But there is no remote engine start function. How it possible, RAV4 XLE 2021 and no remote engine start?? It’s a weird. I tried to do as Jeff showing in the video but it doesn’t work. Can anyone advise me something? Can I fix it somehow or not?
My girlfriend just bought a 2018 rav4 xle and it does have remote start. Only thig is when you go to get in and hit the unlock button , it shuts off. Is this really a Toyota design?
That work toyota se 2021?
However, will a 2023 gas LE base line remote start via the Toyota app and the on the go subscription? I did added the app and bought the subscription....still can't figure out how to remote start it.
It works on my Camry Hybrid LE. I have the upgraded option as follows: Audio package, sunroof package, convenience package, Blind spot monitor W/Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
You Don’t Need A . At The End
Thanks for this video. What is the distance range for this remote start to work? if it is within 3 ft then it is easier just to get in the car and push the button ONCE and instantly start the engine.
How much is cost for audio upgrade ?
I have a 2020 Rav4 XLE Hybrid Where are you located ?
I have 2021 xle premium audio plus ➕ and it worked great! When I open the door the vehicle shut off ? Why ? I'm new to the new rav4
The same thing happened to me ! Once I unlocked the car with my key or by putting my hand on the door handle, the car just shuts off. Why !?
@@brittanyjaramillo8634 This is the same issue with Subarus and other Toyotas and Lexus. When the car is running after engine remote start and you unlock to open the door, the car kills the engine as a anti theft method. This is so when you get inside, it has to re engage the remote start (when I press the button) by confirming the encrypted handshake between the key fob and car.
This also allows the car to run a full internal car scan for issues which it skips and only limits it to engine when you do the engine remote start. There is sadly no other alternative to this, even with after market engine remote start.
O M G!! I had no idea I could do this from my key. I actually called the dealership to get a price for a remote start key - $384! I can do it with the app on my phone but didn’t know I could use my key too. Wow!! Thank you!!!!
I do have a question. Once it is remote started and you get in the car, it seems to turn off again and you have to restart it. Is that the case? 2020 XSE Hybrid with all the packages.
Got the same problem on mine
Yes it will turn off the engine when you unlock the doors or open the door if it’s already unlocked It’s an anti theft feature
All Toyotas turn off with door open
Excellent! My XLE Hybrid has remote start and I didn't even know it!!! OK, now how do I turn it off from the fob?
So looks like it will not work without audio plus. If not, can a viper remote start be installed to my 2020 Rav4 Xle hybrid? Or can the audio plus be upgraded to the vehicle now?
What is the furthest distance the remote can work from
?
Thank you! It worked for my 2020 RAV4 TRD!
Hi Jeff! My name is WILBERT. I have a 2022 Toyota RAV4 limited with a grade advanced technology package. I checked the window sticker, and then it has the audio plus option. Unfortunately, I tried many times to start my car with the remote key by following your instructions on the video, and it doesn’t work in my car. Press the lock button one time, and release, second time, and release, and then third time, and hold down. Is there anything that is deactivated by mistake in my settings?
I found that remote start feature works with one of my FOB's but not the other. I have a 2020 RAV4 Hybrid LTD. Not sure how to get the other FOB to remote start it?
If i buy another remote ( viper or another name.... ) for RAV4 XLE should it works ?
My 2019 XSE Hybrid remote autostart stopped working. Do you know why?
Tengo una Rav4 XLE Premium 2022, ya actualizada Y no funciona el encendido con el control. ¿Alguna sugerencia o razón del porqué no funciona?
Remote start worked on my 2020 RAV 4 but few days ago i activated locking windows via physical key and unlocking windows via physical and remote key too by car scanner and then this remote start system decided to stop it's work
Pressing 2 times lock button and holding it at the third time = no result to activate engine
What's the problem and how to activate remote start?
Yes! It work on my RAV4 limited. Thank you😍🙏
What model year was it ?
You know, I just recently got one of these, granted it’s a 16 but it’s a limited and I never knew if it had remote start because it didn’t have the usual start button. Either way this video just randomly popped into my feed and boy Andy I ever glad it did, I was thinking I was going to have to get one, granted I never check the manual yet to be sure but based on the fob….so, I tried what you said and VROOM!! I’ll be darned, the bigger started, what a nice surprise, thanks for the video and thank god UA-cam threw it up for me to see or I’d have waited to check the manual.
Toyotajeff I just bought a preowned rav4 with audio plus and does not have remote start. MSRP says audio plus. That does not mean it comes with remote start. Rav4 hybrid.
I got a 2021 xle gas and they told me it had remote start.....it doesn’t ☹️😤
I bought one too. I really wish they put it on the XLE at least 😞
Same here I have a 2019 XLE AWD sport Utility 4D it doesn't have remote start 😑
@@k12irvy wow...and that one’s pretty loaded.
@@iluvmybangs 🤣🤣 I know all that load no Remote start what kind of crap is that
😐
The remote start worked on my RAV4 Hybrid Limited - buy why does the engine turn off when I open the car door?
Toyota has a security feature that does that.Lexus also.You cant change that.
Thanks!!! Our salesman told us the only way to remote start was to subscribe to the phone app (I didn't). This worked!! Important tip as we're getting into winter in the northern states.
My 2022 RAV4 Hybrid SE has the bigger screen and the paperwork I have says that Audio Plus is installed. Remote start doesn’t work for me. Did I get scammed?
Good day Jeff. I have the 2020 Rav4 XLE without the Audio Plus and of course I don't have remote start. How much would Toyota charge to install remote start in my vehicle?
if you have audio plus on the XLE it should have remote start unless you just have audio. Depends on dealership contact your local one and ask.
Maybe $499 to $699 depending on dealer
I’m learning more n more about my rav 4
Hey Jeff did toyota fixed the problem with rav4 2019 ,transmission issues, noisy cabine,battery dying etc etc cause i really want to buy one thanks
Everyone says the car shut off after opening the door. Is there a way to bypass that. I’m looking forward to get the car this year. Hybrid xse
Jeff! I just went into the dealership and got approved for a 2020 RAV4 Hybrid XSE! It’s shipping from Kentucky... is there a difference between the USA based vs. overseas ?
You should be fine either way!!! Congrats!!!! You’re going to love it
Does the A/C compressor come on when in Remote Start?
if you set your AC to auto before turning the engine off previously, it will turn on when in Remote start.
It works for my 2023 RAV4 limited
This didn't work for me. :-( I have a 2021 Toyota Rav4 XLE. What's best the aftermarket option for my vehicle.
