Remote start question - Page 2 - Toyota 4Runner Forum

In some places you can get a ticket for a vehicle running unattended due to so many thefts. This is usually evident in winter with people wanting to warm things up before they drive away. I don't think the law cares (at least in my area) wether you have some kind of remote system or not.

That is leaving the keys in the ignition and running. It does not perrtain to remote starters because there are no keys in vehiocle to drive away with.

Yhe OP has a Limited, the engine will shut down with door open and he will need to restart it, OEM or aftermarket.

There are aftermarket solutions out there to allow just OEM keyfob start. ALCA or DBALL as a stand alone solution installed by professionals. There are also tharness solutions out there too.

Not here - any unattended running vehicle is subject.

I see you are in Kansas.

"It is illegal to leave your car running with the key in it in cities like Kansas City, Missouri and Overland Park."

Warming your car up unattended is illegal in some KC metro cities

Really? You get a ticket for using a remote start in Kansas??? Damn cold there in the winter too!

I was an avionics tech in the Marine Corps. Worked on Harrier Jets...saw your profile.

No - you can get a ticket for a vehicle running unattended - I know a couple of people who have. Lots of stolen cars here which is probably the reason. Even cars with smart keys are being stolen - apparently there is a way to hack the signal from a smart key with a receiver.

I'm a retired avionics / Instrumentation tech from a flight test center in Wichita.

My 4R sits right outside my front window about 20 feet away. I would want the engine to shut off if the door was opened and it was not me opening it. I use the remote start on those zero degree days when I have an inch of ice needing to be scraped off the windshield.

With the Accesorides kit you triple click the lock button to start up. It DOES NOT turn off when the door is opened. It will turn off if you hit the brakes before you insert the key or push the start button. I think this way is safe as you know your vehicle is locked and even if it was unlocked it will shut off to anyone that tries to operate the vehicle without the key. Also the engine will idle for 20 min before it shutsdown automatically. And I believe it will give 3 start attempts before it gives up to save battery.

YUP! I read up on this system and have 2 already shipped and heading at me for my 4R and the wife's RX350.

Thanks for the direction.

Are you 100% sure about that with the Smart Key? Unless they have changed something this a quote directly from Accesorides:

I have a 17 TRDOR with the stock remote start installed. What is the best option to get that eliminates the shutoff at door opening? I see the accessorides option and compustar options are recommended. Do I just order the kit and plug and play or do I need to uninstall the factory system?

I believe it might of stopped working during the time I replaced the door locks with eBay bought ones instead of OEM.

69050-06100 NEW Power Door Lock Actuators Door Latch Rear Right RR 07-17 Camry | eBay

I have since replaced ALL except drivers side one. I've searched everywhere on the internet, and on the manual that mostly only talks about 'smart key' which I doubt I have. I do not have auto unlocking or push start.

And then I read it's most likely the switch inside the hood latch? Does anyone have experience with this? Is it easy to fix?

The dealer installed an Avital kit in our 2019 TRD. Works great!

Two clicks on the separate fob, it starts up. One more click when you're ready to load up and it unlocks. Put the key in the on position and you're good to go.

Hitting a pedal will shut off the engine.
