Hi all, I was wondering, does the 4Runner have a way to unlock the vehicle without the key, using some series of button presses on the tailgate or elsewhere?

For example, my old Subaru would allow you to program a series of 5 button presses on the tailgate button to unlock the vehicle.

This was really convenient in cases where I wanted to unlock my vehicle but didn't have my keys on me, or if I did some activity like surfing where I leave the key fob disarmed and hidden inside the car.

So far, I haven't been able to find anything online or in the owner's manual for setting this up. Is there such a feature on the 4Runner or am I out of luck?

1. use the app (or your phone if you have the digital key paid function)
2. use fob
3. emergency key

Thank you for the info, that is unfortunate. I am surprised to hear there is no such feature on a vehicle meant to be used for activities where you can’t always carry a key fob around.

I suppose the best bet ifor surfing will just be to disable the key fob and take the emergency key along.
