Toyota

Anyone that has the problem with remote connect not starting or locking doors or anything, here is what i did to fix mine. I disconnected the cars battery for 15 mins. Reconnected and started the engine from inside the car with the ignition switch. I shut off the car and got out and locked the doors with the key fob. Then used the toyota app to remote start the car. Seems to still be working now 3 days later. I figured the system in the car just needed a restart. I have a 2020 Camry xse. Mine did work for about a week when i left the dealer then nothing but miles and fuel would update on the app.

This app is buggy. I drive a 2020 RAV4 limited hybrid. This app doesn’t work with a new car. Nothing updates or connects. Spent a lot of time on calls/hold with the service number trying to get the VIN to work, odometer to update, and controls to respond. Still doesn’t work but I was told the app is still being worked on. I feel like Toyota is falling behind in the software department (e.g. app, camera GUI, infotainment system, etc). Mechanically their products are great but the software is worrisome. The app needs to be fixed before I’ll open it again. Please work on this problem. As a new buyer, this app was a big part of the car’s appeal. It’s disappointing that it does not work. I think everyone who can’t use the remote connect services should have an extension to their free trial period. Thanks!

My app stopped communicating with the car after about one month. Only the mileage and gas level would work. My app always shows an alert that the doors are unlocked, even when I lock them and update the app. It seems like maybe it was locked up. Tje lock/unlock and remote start don’t work now, which is disappointing b/c it was one of the features that separated the Camry (XSE) from the Accord and Altima. I brought it into the dealer, and they tried the fix mentioned in the earlier review of removing the battery cable for 15 min. Unfortunately, it didn’t fix the issue in my case. I’m going to try it one more time in a few days, but otherwise I guess we just hope Toyota can get it together and get rid of the bugs.

I downloaded this app after downloading remote connect, I didn’t know it was two apps, this is my first Toyota, I always had OnStar/ Chevrolet. Anyways I have no complaints, even though I downloaded this app the last minute, both apps work the same, the only difference Is only one works with Apple Watch, so I keep both for that, but mainly use this app b/c the interface is better on main screen. I’m happy I left Chevy for Toyota, I might miss the remote start icon on the keyfob, but I still can use remote start with Toyota keyfob also, just a little differently. LoL

I don’t typically do reviews but I do like to read them when I purchase or buy things that I want/need. This app is completely useless and worthless. I have a 2020 Camry Hybrid and the app used to work when I first signed up for the service and now it’s just garbage! It won’t connect to my vehicle to lock or unlock the doors or remote start/stop. The icon just spins and says connecting...but the mileage and fuel gauge will update in the app. Makes no sense to me. I’ve even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app several times and restarting my phone. Nothing works... lucky I even have it two stars but I thought why not since it does have potential to be useful.
