App is awesome. Can see current mileage. Miles to empty. Can start. Lock doors. Get alerts on status of locks etc.
And apparently the remote start goes away after the first year and becomes a paid per month or year option.

To be clear, all of the functionality in the app, remote start included, will go away after the one year "trial." I agree, it's pretty cool.

My app fails probably 40% of the time. My fob works less than 25% of the time. Worst remote start setup ever.

His fob and app are dealer-installed aftermarket so it may not play by the same rules.

So there is no OEM option from Toyota so I can use my existing OEM key fob for remote start?

Toyota wants $80 per year to have the ability to remote start the 50k vehicle I bought. What kind of logic is that? Makes no sense to me. I’m contemplating installing a third party remote start to rid myself of another ridiculous subscription.

BMW wants an equivalent amount yearly to use Carplay that's built in to the car.
Subscriptions and their recurring revenue are everywhere now if you hadn't yet noticed. It's the way of the world; pay or don't play.

That’s why I’ll consider a secondary solution. I’d rather pay 1k for a permanent solution than a reoccurring subscription. If people would simply not pay the subscription fees manufactures would reconsider the model. And BTW I don’t live under a rock...I’ve noticed the subscription model’s being imposed however being educated I understand paying subscriptions is simply throwing away hard earned money. You can throw away your money but I’ll invest mine in something worth while.

I hate it, but remote start on an app is more useful than I thought. I can go in a store for longer than the 10 minutes and then restart it again from anywhere while my dog enjoys the ac. I hate paying $80, but the key hardly works so I just suck it up and deal with it. I also find the door lock warning especially useful since you can't hear the stupid truck beep because it doesn't honk like 95% of the vehicles out there.

I recently put an iDataStart remote start module in a different vehicle, but it is available for the 4Runner too apparently. Combined with the vehicle-specific T-harness it was almost plug-and-play, only a couple wires to splice. You then use the factory remote to start the vehicle.
They also have add-on modules if you want smartphone functionality or RF (long-range) transmitters.
iDatastart CMHCXA0 Digital remote start system — uses a vehicle-specific T-harness (sold separately) at Crutchfield
The instructions are absolute shit, but I was otherwise impressed with the unit and price. Again, I did NOT install one on my 4Runner (yet) but this is the route I'd go.

I agree. I am very disappointed with Toyota for charging an annual fee to use the remote start feature even from the key fob for a device that is already installed on the vehicle.

I have a 2021 TRD Pro and I didn't pay for remote start as an option and the dealer never mentioned it. Then I saw the Youtube video and gave it a try...what do you know, I have remote start from the key FOB. No subscription I'm aware of either.
