Just Found Out My 2020 Has Remote Start... Mind Blown!

Directed has a newish firmware that allows for takeover with smart key vehicles. Gonna see if I can find someone to flash my DS4 for me.

It only covers 2020+ 4Runner PTS
On vehicles it does cover, the wiring will need to change and is more complicated. There is no T-Harness.

So...I knew I had a remote start on my 2018 Pro, because twice it started with the remote as I was trying to unlock it, but for the life of me I couldn't figure out the pattern (yes, I did a search).

Then last night my wife asked to use the 4Runner instead of her Jeep because, well, as we all know getting into the back seat of a 2-door Wrangler is joke. After she comes home she says "hey do you know you have a remote start? You just press lock 4 times."

FML...gotta say I was impressed.

I hate t-harnesses anyways. I've always soldered my systems in.

I did this one in my 2022. Simple install, works like factory.

Sounds like you have an aftermarket remote start in there, generally it's pressing lock 3 times and wait.

OEM remote start is Lock, Lock, hold lock for 3 seconds with all doors closed
