Most Owners Don't Know About These 2022 Toyota Tundra Secret Features

[@Aviation_Professional]

2024 1794 limited owner here in Florida. The fact taht the car turns off when you open the door after remote start is absolutely rediculous. Pisses us off to no end.

[@MyBeardBetter]

After a year of having my Tundra, today I learned I can hold the handle to unlock all doors. I've been opening the driver door and unlocking my back doors if I was putting something in the back prior too. 😂

[@TheJD616]

You can?! I’ve been doing the same thing!!!

[@TheLakingc]

That is nice to know!

[@russejones]

Ok, 6 months and never knew this one.

[@tjdinfl]

The “hold” to unlock all doors alone was worth the price of admission! Thanks! Note: having the truck die after remote start when you open a door is the stupidest thing ever. No one can steal the truck without the key! Even my 2017 GMC stayed running. Regardless, I am still very happy with my 2024.

[@stu1663]

In Canada the limited has the rear brake camera, but no digital review camera! Toyota........

[@chrishetano]

I was excited for the mirror function since I’m always using them when i back up. But I guess it doesn’t work for SR5 TRD Sport 4x4 package 😢

[@HoboTurtle]

I just got the 2023 tundra 1794 and had no idea about the door un/lock features, let alone the secret starter feature on the fob. Kudos!!

[@yohanmarchena9599]

Just got the new 2023 Tundra and love the last tip with the backup mirrors. Thank you!

[@topherb.9331]

You just saved my ears from hearing my wife complaining about her 2023 Tundra limited side view mirror not lowering when truck is reversing. Thank you very much!!!

[@m-roddr.funtimes3144]

Having my 2023 Platinum for only a few weeks now, both the rear view mirror cam & the reverse side mirror back-up moves are very helpful. Thank you!

[@bryaanmendoza8045]

Great video any issues with reliability with your truck?

[@XEevents]

Thanks for sharing! Learned a lot. Dealer didn't show any of these tricks upon delivery.

[@HeavyChevyMega]

I tried the lane assist by hitting the button once & it works as it should. But if I hit the button a twice it just turns the lane assist off . Tried holding the button down & it goes off. Im not sure if my 24' Tundra Limited w/ TRD pkg. has the lane centering assist . Will check window sticker & manual to see if my model has it.

[@303MoTo]

4:00 I have a 2020 TRD Pro, My keyfob remote start stopped working when my Toyota Connect app subscription ended. Took the truck to the dealer, as I thought the keyfob should work separate from the app, was told that they couldn't do anything. Installed a Compustar remote start for $100 that works with my factory fob. I know this didn't happen to everyone, but I know several others that had the same issue. Subscription services, boooo!

[@amanaseboy]

What kind of the compustar remote start did u installed ?

[@303MoTo]

@@amanaseboy - literally the cheapest one. Not sure of the model but it was around $100. I think it was Compustar Pro R3

[@amanaseboy]

@@303MoTo oh okay, thanks for letting me know.

[@fiftyshadesofurban]

7:49 There is a trailer camera that you can get from Toyota that connects to the rearview mirror via Wi-Fi (this is what the two other shark fins are for in some Tundras, but any Tundra can get them) and that way if you have a topper, you can put this wireless camera at the back of the topper or camper or whatever and regain that functionality, as the output of that camera shows up on the rearview mirror. This feature is so that if you have a trailer you can attach the camera to the back of the trailer, hook it into the trailer's power and then be able to still have a digital rearview mirror.

[@melissastrahl424]

I have had my used Tundra 6 months and watching your video I found I have REMOTE START! Yay. I think it is because I subscribed to Toyota and Sirius when I got the truck back in March. The dealer did not tell me this was an option. I guess it is a secret.

[@hummyhero1484]

Does anyone know how to turn the annoying seatbelt chime off. It’s not needed while on my property with no traffic backing up to a trailer or out in a field. Thanks for any help

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

No way to turn it off.

[@markf8256]

Tim, I read the manuals. I did not know about the touch and hold on the driver’s door handle to unlock all. Nice.

[@h8GW]

Weird, it points that feature out in the digital manual -my physical manual is still shrinkwrapped.-

[@fgump101]

Thanks for the video Tim. Just seeing this now and I didn't know holding the handle would unlock all the doors - thank you! (wish it was a bit faster though). Not sure if you know, but you can also lock all the doors by touching the outside handle (not gripping it) but just touching the side of the handle (that has a small groove on it). It will lock the vehicle and fold in the side mirrors (if enabled). Also why do you say Toyota will NOT fix/update turning off the engine when it's remote started? I find that very annoying and people say they are supposed to fix it. I hope they do!

[@kanh1749]

Well, look at that. I just found out I have remote start from watching this video. Thanks man!!✌️👏🏻

[@paulie0706]

I’ll be picking up my new Tundra next week! That being said, I learned something new about my wife’s 2020 Highlander thanks to you! I had idea you could hold the handle for an extra second to unlock all doors. She prefers to only have one unlock, but loves that she has the ability to unlock all the doors now without having to open the driver door!

[@OperationValhalla]

I own a 22 platinum and had no idea about holding the door, that's awesome.

[@timlester3209]

Hey Tim GREAT content!! Still LOVE my new Tundra best truck I’ve ever owned!! Keep the info coming.

[@OldLineAngling]

Just got a 2023 platinum a couple days ago…this is incredibly helpful. Thanks!

[@2000dillinger]

I was told by everyone that I don't have remote start.... I just walked outside and tested the secret method, and it worked. Thank you!

[@huynhgia2]

But it’s stop the engine when I open the doors.😅

[@xeebxiong1577]

Just bought my 2024 Limited Tundra 2 weeks ago and thanks to this video, I learned something new. What I found interesting was the key fob. I did not know that they can remote start your vehicles. I currently have an active trial period on my Toyota Connect App so my key fob works and I even tested it once. However, I tried it on my friend's 2023 SR5 Tundra today and it also works on his. One thing is that, he does NOT have any active Toyota Connect on his iPhone at all and it still works. However, it is not consistent. I tried it over 10+ times and only manages to start it up 2 times. I'm not sure why that is but it is an interesting thing.

[@craigchapman234]

I had that tilted mirror feature in my 2006 Envoy , I loved it.

[@pitchus4196]

I just learned my truck has a remote start! This was amazing. - 2023 Limited TRD Tundra. CRAZY. I like the idea that it shuts off when the door opens, so people don't take your truck (I park outside)

[@PatrickSomo]

Only for a year then it goes away unless u get a subscription

[@justinmeyers7564]

Love the video, i just got a 2023 tundra trd pro, so glad i waited to upgrade!

[@michaelpeters6350]

i tried the reverse mirror setting trick on my SR5 for like 20 minutes but couldn’t get it to work. i’m wondering if this is an option on limited and up and not SR5?

[@joeholmberg250]

Doesn’t work for the SR5. Us poors don’t get the good stuff.

[@Destroyers2023]

[@wm005]

Thank you so much. Just got my Tundra yesterday and I love the drop down mirror feature. Had that on another truck and have missed it. New follower...

[@mccrayjonesiii6378]

I'm currently choosing between a new F-150 and Tundra, and your videos have been very helpful. Any idea if this infotainment system bug has been worked out on the new models?

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

Yes, they have been updating the system.

[@RentingToronto]

What aftermarket Remote Start do you recommend for a 2024 Tundra Platinum?

[@TEW1157]

Ridiculous that I have to pay 15 dollars a month on top of the 65 thousand to use equipment already made that I already paid for. Don't say they need to pay to maintain that service because I know they are already monitoring with or without my monthly money.

[@paul2lane236]

The thing that I find annoying it when pulling a trailer and you shut the engine off it reverts back to the normal drive setting. You have to remember to reset the driving mode every time you shut the engine down.

[@channelnamehere4065]

8:30 - the auto camera is meant stopping and help you with parking. It's a godsend. I'm sure other makes have it, too. It's activated when slow speed around parking lots and stoplights, etc... It goes away after you pick up speed.

[@philipsoucie3015]

My 2020 tacoma Trd Pro has this and I love it with slow pets around the house.

[@lns4048]

First I love your videos. I have the Off road Limited ex cab My dealer has a guy specifically trained to show you all those features. My dealer is Toyota of Scranton The remote start cutoff, when you open the door, is an anti theft feature. So no one can steal it when you remote start. I also just learned about the 12V outlet behind the screen. It's great for different devices you may want to use up front. Keep up the great videos! 👍

[@theverygreatest1]

The remote start shutoff is one of the dumbest things they've ever done. I hate it.

[@markf8256]

I’ve heard that excuse regarding the remote start. It makes no sense. You have the key and the doors remain locked until you open it. I would like them to show us the theft statistics for “traditional” remote start that supposedly justifies their configuration. I love my Toyotas but this is just dumb.

[@MrChadx1]

Shut off is not because of a theft deterrent. The vehicle is locked when it's running on auto-start. Some one can't just come walking along and jump into it and drive away. There is also. presumably, fob proximity detection like on the vehicles we've owned. It can be running, but if the fob isn't with the vehicle and someone tries to drive away, all sorts of chimes go off, speed is limited to crawling speed (no fast get aways,. Ha.) or the vehicle won't even let you shift out of park if the fob isn't immediately by or in the vehicle.

[@richardleonzio2574]

Also if you step on the brake it shuts off if you don't have key (fob)

[@MojaveMuse]

the jailbreaking is interesting, but not surprising by that much. this is a rocketship compared to my current almost 20 year old hooptie economy car. seems for sure i'll need to cozy up with a cup of coffee and the owners manual

[@BPJac]

You can change the door unlock settings in the old Tundra as well - I changed mine in my 2020.

[@johnyota131]

Reverse mirror at the very end was super helpful! Thanks Tim!

[@channelnamehere4065]

10:25 I notice you don't have the headlight adjustment knob. You must have the premium LED auto-leveling headlights?

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

I'll have to check again. I thought it was a turn dial.

[@SI-em1zn]

I just (May 2024) bought my Tundra, First Toyota other than an 12 year old (1981) Tercel back in the day. I gave my Platinum Ford F150 to my son has remote start you can set time span for remote start e.g. 20 min need it up in Maine in the winter, it has the ability to set it if I want it to change Climate Control to auto or last settings (windows Mirrors and seats as well), during remote start and the Engine (Systems) actually stay on if I when i get in it or touch the handle. I really liked those features!

[@markf8256]

Like the mirror feature on my 2022 Tundra. Have it in my 2019 Avalon but didn’t know you could adjust the position when engaged.

[@jasoncoffee3866]

I enjoy the brake hold button. It allows you to use the start stop feature alittle easier. Dont have to hold the padal down. While at a light

[@TheLakingc]

Where? I missed that. I fooled with the parking brake, i think, in a grocery parking lot today and thought i ruined something, so called Toyota 2 blocks away. Then i while waiting on the phone for help, i saw a thing that said, "hold " and "off." I figured out how to move it to off. I assumed it was the parking brake. Nope, it was the call... i disconnected them! Way too many features for an old lady! 😂

[@joeholmberg250]

@@TheLakingcwhile you’re pushing on the brake pedal, push the “hold” button. Take foot off brake. You’ll stay stopped. Push gas to move forward. At next stop you can take foot off brake again when you’re completely stopped.

[@Clapapesa]

What you said about the key is great, actually I did it and it worked. Sadly in the Tundra 2024 they remove the camera option and is not in the settings, also they remove the safety feature backing alert. now they sale it with that if is in your package. if you want electric seats you have to pay for them, they are sale basic trucks for a tremendous amount of money like gold, they don't bring the steps railing either, if you want camera you have to update to a new package and so on. thanks

[@MrStanmimi]

You certainly put together some good information in this video, fortunately for me I was already ahead of the game and understood all of the tips and tricks and secrets you were showing us. There was one that you have not showed us yet and I thought I would point it out to you in case you didn't know. I learned this recently on a Lexus from a friend of mine. When you push the traction control button it removed some of the traction control, however if you push and hold it for an extended period of time it completely disables all traction control systems. This is just a little tidbit that is not commonly known. Thanks again for your great review and video, your videos are excellent! Keep up the good work!

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

Interesting. Thanks for that tip!

[@b3ray25]

My 2019 Tundra (1794) has that mirror feature as well. Something to look forward to as I look to purchase the new Sequoia. Great vid Tim!

[@apferrando]

My favorite feature is when you're stopped at a stop sign and when you go and hit the gas nothing happens... so you press it a little harder and your neck snaps back as you launch the truck.

[@PatrickSomo]

Brooooooooooooo WTF ITS NOT JUST ME! Why? How lame is that

[@madlionsound932]

Omg I thought it’s only truck this happens.

[@fgump101]

I too had this, especially from a cold start. The RPMs are too high at first and they need to settle down before taking off. I'm very disappointed in Toyota! I feel like they designed a truck with no experience every building a truck or vehicle before! They can do better!

[@TheLakingc]

😂😂😂

[@dylanmackay2981]

Your seat position moves and the car reverts to the settings in your profile because of the different key fob though right? Chip shortage means I'm waiting on my second key fob.

Tim, I just purchased a 23 Platinum Tundra, like it so far. After the purchase I fine there's negative comments about this truck. I guess everybody has their own opinion. Your video was very informative. I have a question that I cannot get answered from the owner's manual concerning the folding mirrors. With the rocker switch in the middle position, when locking from the inside, the mirrors will not fold in. Same when using the key fob. When locking from the outside, using the doorhandle, they'll fold in same as when using the phone app. Is there a secret to getting them to fold from locking from the inside and using the fob?

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

Sorry, trying to understand this. Why would you use the fob from inside the truck?

That seat feature is a patent from years ago. Finally see it come to play. It's supposed to transfer from vehicle to vehicle, so the setting stays with you wherever you drive Toyotas... If I recall, the patents says that when supported by that vehicle, the seats automatically adjust for your profile based on that vehicle's dimensions. I thought there was also something about how it optimizes visibility and safety as well...But I'm sure that'll come in 2050...
