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

[@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.

[@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!

[@stu1663]

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

[@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]

😂😂😂

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@yohanmarchena9599]

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

[@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.

[@rustyshackleford6476]

[@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!

[@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!!

[@timlester3209]

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

[@kanh1749]

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

[@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! 😂

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.😅

[@johncos1068]

I can't even describe in words how much I despise the lane assist.

[@johnyota131]

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

[@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)

[@OperationValhalla]

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

[@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!

[@OldLineAngling]

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

[@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.-

[@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 😢

[@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

[@maceterburg5210]

Make the steering wheel vibrate instead of annoying lane departure tone is a godsend on this truck.

[@cliffpurcell6363]

How do you switch to vibrate mode?

[@BPJac]

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

[@blkted2945]

Great secrets, like the tow hitch adjustments, didn't know that.

[@justinmeyers7564]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@disboidevin1]

Still works after the trial had my Tacoma for 3 years and still starts with remote

[@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.

[@michaelnorth1762]

Didn’t know about the holding the door handle to unlock all doors. Thanks for the info!

[@filup7419]

What I learned from this video is if you want to make something a “secret”, write it in a book. I just bought a new 1794 Tundra and as I do with all new vehicle purchases I’ve made, I read all of the manuals that came with the truck (because I’m a child of the 80’s) so I already knew all of these. Seeing the attention span of the next generation and their lack of any desire to gain knowledge through reading means we (humans) are doomed. Kinda reminds me of that movie “Idiocracy” and not in a good way.

[@JohnDoe-ix7oh]

Give it 10 more years and we will be living the movie…..

[@castiron2932]

You spent a couple hours reading mostly useless information. We spent 13 minutes listening to key points. You obviously enjoy reading manuals most people don't just pat yourself on the back and move on

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@tylersrubar6451]

Thanks for this interesting video Tim! I don’t own a 2022 Tundra but it’s definitely on my short list to check out in the near future.

[@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?

[@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.

[@mikol.douglas]

The mirror thing apparently has existed on most vehicles for years. We’re all just discovering in 2023… The door-hold to unlock other doors is new to me. I like that! Thanks!! Surprised you didn’t mention the “dot-matrix” morse code or the active air spoiler and how to activate it manually.

[@markf8256]

Just heard through a Tennessee dealer that Toyota will be pushing an OTA update that will change the feature options for remote start, allowing for the engine to remain running when opening the door. It is available on 2023 models and will be pushed to most 2022 models including the Tundra. I can’t wait. 😊

[@DTLA27]

I hope this is true ! I thought it was only my truck at first lol

[@Siblue]

22 Lexus NX remote start will remain ON after unlocking so OTA fix for Tundra could be true

[@dustinm5667]

Interesting... I just tried this on a 2023 last weekend and it still shut off. Maybe that truck was made before the update

[@Jshaw64]

I look forward to trying this on the ‘23 I got last week. Hopefully it has taken effect by now.

[@channelnamehere4065]

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...

[@Corster45]

Getting the Carista App will unlock more features. Like holding the unlock button down will roll down all the windows and open the sunroof (have to keep holding). You can also set it to tilt the passenger mirror down for reversing. Lots of different things.

[@GearNutsNet]

does the gen 2 app work with gen 3? i don't see new model on their website yet

[@FJoeBrainDeadBiden]

Yeah too bad it doesn't tackle the two worst issues the truck has. Which is the engine turning off when the door is opened from remote start, and not being able to permanently disable the engine off at idle function without pushing the button every single time you enter the vehicle.

Remote start from the fob has been available since 2018, unlocking all 4 doors setting has been available since 2018 most of the things u said that was new on the tundra it’s actually started with the 2018 camry and 2019 avalon. But great video good sir!

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.

I agree Toyota is backwards when it comes to tech. I also own a BMW X7 2020 and the voice assistant leaves you understanding how much catching up Toyota needs to do....they are in the dark ages on this technology and most I would say.

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.

Hi Tim and to your subscribers. Has anyone on here been having SIRI audio issues with their 2023 tundra? I just got mine 2 weeks ago. Let me give yall an example. You plugin you iphone via USB. Then carplay comes up. no issues there. Now, try saying Hey Siri play Music. It starts playing music, Now either say out loud Hey Siri or press the Siri button on your steering wheel and say "Hey Siri, get directions to Amarillo Texas" and it will not go silent, and the music keeps playing.. Once you unplug your phone and try the above steps away from the vehicle.. It just works.. I tried this on my android phone and it worked perfectly.. Just curious if y'all encountered that..

[@wesleybrehm9386]

The infotainment screen is because of the frame rate of the monitor and your camera. Try shooting at a frame rate that isn't a multiple of the infotainment center frame rate.

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?

Tim thanks for the information video! Just a little help with the screen recording if you want to fix it. All screens and camera sensors have a refresh rate . When they are out of sync you’ll start seeing those lines. The fix would be to get the camera shutter to match the screen. If you are on an iPhone an app would be required like Filmic pro or ProCam. On a DSLR or similar just change the shutter to match and BOOM! Have a good one and thanks again for the content^^

[@ericd6791]

The reason why the truck turns off as you go to unlock it is because they point is to cool the truck down/heat the truck up before you get to the truck. It also keeps people from stealing a running car/truck. Mercedes does the same thing.
