My favorite Key trick

[Captain Trips]

You might need to set up the digital key too. I'm not sure

You don’t need the digital key for this.

You should program it "Gentlemen, start your engines", or whatever the current Nascar thing is for the beginning of the race...

I have the digital key downloaded and it works, setup the siri shortcuts but now it says I have to add the digital car key to the apple wallet and its not showing as an option in the apple wallet. doh!

Hello all.. Just wanted to share my experience using Siri to remote start the LC:

1. Initially setup Siri within the Toyota App
2. Tested and did not work.. Paused to think.. Tried same test a few times = FAIL
3. Then realized the LC had to be locked first in order to remote start from app
4. Locked the doors using both app and FOB (2 different tests) then asked Siri to run shortcut = PASS
5. Brain-stormed how to update IOS shortcut for "remote start" to:
   1. Lock door first
   2. Then start the LC
6. Created a "Run Lock" action within the "Start Vehicle" IOS shortcut app. It worked just one time to where it locked the door first then started the vehicle when using voice command = Partial Success
7. Rebooted phone.. Worked again for just one time = Partial Success
8. Checked integrity of "remote start" shortcut within IOS shortcut app= PASS
9. Tapping on the "remote start" shortcut will lock the LC then start it = PASS
10. Back to investigating the "why" it only worked once using voice command
11. Reviewed the Toyota app and VOILA the shortcut phrase reverted back to DEFAULT ("+" symbol) but only for the "remote start" piece
12. Tried re-adding starting phrase in Toyota App and the message "You already have a shortcut or a home scene name "Start <vehicle>" popped up even though it reverted back to DEFAULT where one would see the "+" symbol

Conclusion:
It seems if you change the default build of shortcut command (as added by the Toyota app) from within IOS shortcut app, it messes with the Toyota app by removing the ability to use the voice command. I've tested this a few times all with same results.. Not sure if either Toyota or Apple needs to fix this? Or both?

And if this is all so confusing, I apologize.. If you're in IT, you might be familiar at how difficult it can be to document every detailed step when trouble-shooting

Aaaah Haaahh!

This. Helped me. I did not have iOS App “shortcuts” downloaded on my phone. I downloaded that, went into the app, slected the “start my car” phrase button which I had recorded within the Toyota app, and it works!

This one step made several other frustrations work for me: now my my garage door and house door smart locks all work from Siri. Hallelujah!

Thanks for the trick. Much more handy than the app.

It works, but it is incredibly fickle. You have to get the timing just right.

Like the windows going down in my Audi with the key fob. Same thing.
