1 - change adaptive cruise control to non-adaptive by holding down the cruise control on button for 3 seconds; 2 - press start button 3 times rapidly to emergency shut off the engine; 3 - dealer can customize number of lane change flashes and cancel the seat belt chime; on some cars, dealer can turn on auto windows down when pressing unlock button on remote; 4 - many Toyotas have remote start by pressing lock, lock, looock on the remote; 5 - infotainment system is described by year it was released, not year of vehicle. Hold "Mode" button on steering wheel to mute infotainment system.

Another feature that few know about is that you can turn off the key fob, at least on 2019 and newer Corolla (probably all modern Toyota's). It has a battery saving mode that, when activated, will turn the fob off which also prevents anyone from picking up the signal from it to unlock and steal your car. Simply press and hold down the Lock button and, while holding it down, press Unlock two times. The key fob is not turned off and you will not be able to open or start your car with it. To turn the fob back on just press any button once.

[@larryjackson9037]

Would you mind editing your next to last sentence? I believe that you meant to say "The key fob is now turned off . . ." instead of "The key fob is not turned off . . ." ? ;)

[@roco8809]

Works in my 2018 v6 camry thanks

[@vapeking466]

I thought they could only get your code when you are actually unlocking the car. Then at night they come and take the car.

[@FindLiberty]

​@@vapeking466 Turning off the remote does more than just saving its battery from unnecessary power drain, it improves security by disabling an exploit vector! Don't try this at home, but I think this is how it works: They can use a device to send a STRONG signal to your remote (that's inside you home?) and trick it into sending a response (as if it's outside and very close to the car). The remote sends a unique "key code" signal that's captured by the device. The thief uses the device to re-send this recorded signal to the car. The car responds by sending the other half of the unique handshake response and it's ready to unlock the doors as soon as a hand is detected at the door handle. They've recorded this complete unique smartkey RF code handshake exchange on both frequencies for THIS session that the car thief can use to unlock, start the car, and drive it away. They will have to deal with the immobilizer and begin a procedure for, "all keys lost" once the car is turned off since those codes do change automatically. The VIN and owner name and address is probably in the car and they may attempt to spoof Toyota into sending the reset codes needed to program new smart key(s) for the car. Once reported, Toyota and Police can work together to locate the car. It's interesting how this security feature turns in to a vulnerability nightmare that contributes to a shortage of those smart key fobs and of course, stolen cars.

[@KathleenJohnston-p5z]

I once locked myself out of my boyfriends Rav4 which I was borrowing. I must have inadvertently locked the key fob but didn't know how to unlock it. Now I know! Buying a new Corolla Cross in two weeks and am glued to all these tips!

To be fair, if you have an 03 Toyota (my dad got my 06 Camry new), ours aren't "modern" enough to have these features. I had however heard neutral was your best bet when there was hype about runaway Toyota's... And the company curiously abandoned the slogan Keep Moving Forward

[@briank10101]

Decades ago, i was 22yrs old. In my Cadillac Seville while using the cruise control and it was raining a very old man and his passergers cut in front of my car. No abs at the time. I had very bad wiplash. 8K damage My front end could be removed by bolts and they put a new one on it. The Dodge Duster was a total. I don't think people should be disabaeing the protection that took decades to get. I appreciate and love your shows. You are a natural and very respected. Thank you. Another time my Cadillac Fleetwood front end was demolished on wet payment, NO ABS. ABS is a gift from God. I was a wild kid in my 20's. Changes cars every 18 months.

Because it was wet? It's a radar. It shouldn't matter that it's wet. I use mine in the rain all the time. Take it into the dealer and get it fixed.

[@chathamvalet5436]

As a valet who tries the remote start on all brands for years. There is always a "dance" to get it going even with a dedicated button. It's usually (lock + lock +"start") I think the design makes sense and prevents accidental remote starts. Thanks for going over it. I usually impress customers on with this on their own cars.

[@philipjc1]

Unless your key has no start button

[@IqRahim]

It does not work if you do not have keyless entry or push start.

[@michaelbt6777]

I think that Toyota makes the remote start complicated as a safety feature. When there is a dedicated button on the remote, it can be pressed by mistake in your pocket, purse etc. Imagine parking the car in the garage, and car started by mistake. I owned a car in the past that had a dedicated button for the trunk. Many times I found the trunk wide open. Thank you for all your videos. I’ve learned so much from them.

[@ahmadghosheh3104]

Agree, I have many times set the panic alarm off with my keys in my pocket. Pend down, lift something, lean against a chair or table. Yeah, I don't want to start the car accisently.

[@MikeKayK]

​​@@ahmadghosheh3104This is why many manufacturers require you to first TAP the lock button once or even twice and then HOLD the remote start button. It's highly unlikely this combination will happen accidentally in your pocket.

Your knowledge and passion for Toyota's has re-ignited my interest in Japanese manufacturers, particularly Toyota and Mazda. I've owned Honda's, Datsun, Nissan, numerous VW's, BMW, Ford(don't ask). Currently I own Audis and a Mazda. I love the simplicity of my MX-5 and plan to add a Toyota/Lexus this year. I don't think I'll ever own a European make again, zero interest. The luxury European brands have become throw away lease vehicles, nothing I would want to own long term.

[@pengmagno7395]

One of the best features of our 2005 Sienna Limited AWD, which was sold recently, is the presence of hooks behind the seats. We used them to hang grocery bags not only inside the cabin but also in the trunk. I don’t see them in any other vehicles we’ve owned. Great stuff AMD!

[@petayV8]

Agreed. I actually added these hooks to our Nissan from the junk yard haha

[@shiftfocus1]

On my Gen1 Sequoia, I could open and close the front windows and sunroof with the key in the drivers door. I loved that feature, and used in often. Not so my Gen3 Prius. One thing I did have modified on the Prius: disabling the reverse beeper. The one that beeps continuously while you’re in reverse. Raising your heart rate and stress level. Had to have the dealer do it.

[@plusafdotcom959]

There is/was a sequence to kill the backup beep for the Gen2 (~'04) Prius, and I loved it and always kept a copy on my PC in case the car got reset by the dealer, like when the 12v battery was replaced!

Hi, Thanks for the useful information about the Toyota. I've Just bought a car Toyota Hybrid Aqua 2017 from Japan Import and learning about Hybrid as this is the first time I'm driving it. I have come across of issue that my dashboard and nav system are all in Japanese and I don't know how to change settings in English so struggling to understand what the car is warning me about.😅

[@adamurbach6685]

I love cruise control, and especially adaptive cruise control. I love it so much that I will use it on my way to the corner store half a mile away from my house. My only gripe about adaptive is that when the car in front of me takes an exit or changes into a turn lane and brakes, my truck doesn't recognize that the obstacle is no longer a threat until they are completely out of my lane which leads to hard braking.

[@golferpro1241]

Yes that is annoying. Takes awhile to get back up to speed.

[@Lynne71098]

When a car drives for you, you might forget you’re the one who is supposed to brake.. I don’t care for the adaptive so do the bypass always

I may not live long enough to absorb 75% of the info! Gotta change the lane change flash to more than 3. Thanks! Love the lock/unlock NON-'beep' chime!! Love the adaptive cruise with lane-control.

[@daltontabor6041]

It actually depends on which car/ trim for the remote start button thingy. My XSE Corolla hatchback remote start will ONLY work when you have the subscription active. Using the fob 3 button press method will not work but does work on lower trims without needing a subscription 🤦‍♂️Nvm you just gotta hold the button on the 3rd click for a ridiculously long time

I did this on my new RAV4 2024 using the Carista app and the OBD bluetooth device (Carista, MX+, etc)… like $50 all in. My neighbor already had the MX+ so I paid $10 for 1 month of the Carista app and made all the changes. Blinks can be set to anything between 1 and 7, I think. Enabled the windows thing on unlock hold. Enabled all windows close on left key hold in driver door. Disabled seatbelt audible alarm for all seats. Lowered the volume of the turn signal. Very happy.

Thank you very much sir. I am going to get my turn signal number changed soon because of the info you provided as it for me is a safer option having more blinks given the tundra model steering return to click off is more pronounced than the standard blinks allow in some situations. I found a good one on my 24 Tundra. Turning the arrow of the side mirror control either left or right but not center will angle both side mirrors down when the drive selector is in the reverse selection and will revert the side mirrors back to their original position again when reverse is deselected!

First of all thank you for your beautiful videos! I have a question. I have few Toyotas, new models. On one of them 22' you need to connect only by a cable to Carplay. But then if you playing KZbin for example you able to control the music volume unfortunately on other models 24' you connect remotely but the function to control the volume is disabled (even if you connect through the cable). It's a very common problem and I searched the net but none of solutions works for me. Maybe you can explain it to in a next video or send a link to something that really works (I spoke to the dealership and changed a lot of settings and installed many different apps but again for no avail 😢)

Follow-up to my comment regarding changing the lane change flasher from 3 to 5 flashes. I asked a customer service guy at Toyota about having that done: 1) He never heard of that being possible after being with Toyota for 18 years 2) After telling him about this video he asked how it could be done 3) I informed him it would take a scan tool 4) After asking about cost he said it would be $208.00 just to hook up a scan tool to see if it was possible. I failed to ask if it would cost more if it was possible. 5) I said OK..."it's not worth that much money" 6) Typical dealer

[@jeffer1101]

The only ones I knew about were the auto shut off and the hidden remote start feature. I think Toyota doesn't have a dedicated remote start button on the fob because they want people to subscribe to the app. The app also eliminates the range limitation to using the fob. Personally, I'm not a fan of the subscription model so I don't have the connected services anymore but I also don't use the auto start feature anyway. An idling car takes forever to warm up so I typically just get in and drive nicely (don't floor it or anything) for about a minute. It heats up WAY faster when the engine is under load so I find idling is just a waste of fuel and might be unnecessary wear on the vehicle (cars run rich when cold).

Another good tip not mentioned here is how to restart radio/infotainment while car is on. Press and hold the radio power button for ~5ish seconds. Has worked on my 21 Prius and Tacoma. Sometimes Apple car play doesn’t want to work while driving. A quick restart fixes it easily.

The remote start wow I did not know thank you and unless you use the remote to unlock the doors as soon as you open the doors with keyless entry the engine stops. Thank you.

I’ve read that you should not use cruise control in rainy weather or slick conditions. Your tires can be spinning and you can lose control of your vehicle.

Thanks for the tips. Will definitely try them on my car. By the way, Toyotas are not meant to be enjoyed, but (to their credit) they can be well appreciated 🙂
