App controlled remote start question

[Ayork]

Have you tried this?

I will tonight! I haven’t had any luck with the settings staying in place

I’ve never had the front defrost remain on with any Toyota I’ve ever had after turning off the vehicle then restarting . I thought this lc would be different especially after seeing the front defrost icon in the app but it is no different whether I leave it on before turning off the vehicle, manually starting, remote starting with fob, remote starting with app. Toyota really fucked this with the app. And why no deicer setting in the app? It seams like these comforts are only an update away. Maybe I should just be thankful I can remote start with the app at my workplace.

I was hoping KyLandcruiser would have answered this question as well.

I haven’t tried it. I can’t see why the settings wouldn’t stay.

Tried leaving the setting on high temp in the car with seat heater and defrost on. When I started the car, it automatically turned everything off and set the temp to a balmy 68 degrees. Oof.

Try turning off custom climate setting in the app. Then try to remote start with HVAC set to when the vehicle was turned off.

Did that as well, dealership has no idea. They told me today I just may not have that option… which is wrong.

I’ve heard that removing the app then reinstalling it would help to clear up issues. But I think it might also clear other things as well such as xm favorite channels, seat memory settings, etc

I don’t think so. This is information linked to your profile that is stored in the cloud.

I tried this the other day-I started my car with the app with set temperature control controls. I approached a car and looked inside and the thermostat was set to the appropriate remote temperature. I open the car and restarted the car and it went back down to what it was said before although the heat seat stayed on.

Weird

I am sure it is me, but I have not taken the time to figure out why, but when I start the vehicle from the app, as soon as I get behind the wheel and press the break, it turns off. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

Not just you. Same thing happens to me. Even on the dash it says, press Brake and Start button, but when I do that, it turns off the engine. Frustrating.

For sure… and no one at Toyota seems to know or care. At the dealers they know nothing about the app itself.

It's among the worst rated apps in the entire app store. Inexcusable for a huge company like Toyota. I gave up fussing with trying to even get the digital key to work.

Same.. Just not every time but maybe once every 6 or 7 times I use remote start

Update on my responses. I noticed my front defrost does come on when remote starting with the app. The front defrost is disengaged immediately when I unlock/open a door. I feel a little better knowing that
