Toyota App Update - New Remote Start Capability ???

[Underground25]

I believe it is $15 per month once your one year trial ends. cant say ill be subscribing with exception of maybe during the winter months

Yeah that’s wild to me, man. BMW does this and makes you subscribe for other features that are literally on the car, but only activated when you pay.

What ever you say sir, sorry for replying

Don't be sorry for replying. Try not to be so sensitive. Although you may live in the mildest climate in all of Canada, the rest of Canada is cold and during my 20 or so trips to Canada in my lifetime, I found that almost everything is more expensive in Canada compared to the US (even when adjusting for the currency conversion).

Do you have any thoughts as to why Toyota gives Canadians a 3-year trial period compared to only one year for US buyers? Do you think you are maybe actually paying for that when you purchase the vehicle? Is it possible that is baked into the price of the vehicle? I believe I saw earlier threads where Canadians were revealing their purchase prices and the vehicles purchased there were more expensive compared to same vehicle purchased in the US.

simple they add it to the base price.

its funny how the loonies up north bundle more stuff as standard vs the usa, but the price jumps accordingly.

and some things they get up north we wish we had and vice versa. its a cat/mouse game between the borders for toyota.

and god forbid you try to register a .ca 4r in the .us and vice versa, the computer system will scream bloody murder and just up an die

Well, I am a bit embarrassed to say that I did not realize I could start my 4Runner with my key fob. That is why I was so happy when the Toyota App update suddenly gave me the ability to start remote. I purchased the vehicle in late March and only recently has it become cold enough to remote start/warm up but yes, during the summer months, remote start/AC cold downs would have been nice. Question: when my one-year trial connect subscription ends next March, will I lose the ability to remote start with my key fob?

No, remote start with fob will still work, only lose app.
