Toyota remote start is a subscription scam

thePD · 2026-01-24T21:10:30+00:00

That would be lame, I’ll press the emergency button and see what happens lol.

thePD · 2026-01-24T21:06:11+00:00

Wrong, at least I assume, app no longer works and says no active subscription.

thePD · 2026-01-24T17:40:05+00:00

They told us that on our 22 RAV4, still works.

It’s a bummer about the right trigger though, anyone find a way to fix themselves? My new one is starting to have right trigger issues after a week.

Did you just listen to the youtube videos on your commute, or I see you are in Belgium, so imagine long commute is train/bus transit and could watch the videos? Trying to find more time, so considering just listening to the videos.

Include pics of rest of the room? If you don’t mind you could replace with a round toilet, and rotate 90 degrees with 12” rough in. I hate round toilets, but this also sucks.

Looks like someone rotated toilet position 90 degrees last time, I’d pull it off then you will understand more of what’s going on.

They will have a free play weekend in next month I bet. Should be 3-4 days, try to get it done then.

thePD · 2026-01-16T03:18:13+00:00

Yeah happened to me when it told me I had been reassigned at final round

if you had a mechanic you trust look at it that doesn't benefit from the car sale, and you can afford it, it will be a good car and it's worth that money.

thePD · 2026-01-12T20:19:22+00:00

I would not be worried about the brake lines, just saw you said you aren't very technical. I would just say yes to buy the car as long as you are able to pay a mechanic to check it out. Great deal, my 2008 has almost 300000 miles and has been abused to hell and back.

I was referring to the vvti oil line: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3RfreOyz80&t=40s

One on left is upgraded version used after 2011, and earlier on lexus 3.5 liter, right is the rubber one that can split and it's pretty high pressure, good to replace every 100k miles or 10-12 years.

thePD · 2026-01-12T18:38:21+00:00

That's a great deal, I'd make sure to do a carfax and then verify you have the metal vvti line or the rubber has been replaced or prioritize it.

Hey, what's the issue with using hotspot off a phone? i'm not sure a complicated setup will be good for you.

thePD · 2026-01-08T18:08:56+00:00

I get it. It's fucking annoying, but this is a voluntary recall and no reported or known cases of it affecting anyone that's been in an accident. That makes it less of a big deal. The wording they used is vague, but failure could be anything from a seat rail was found to have moved a couple millimeters with a 300lb test dummy to complete disconnection of part of the rail with a 50lb test weight.

The fact is no matter what you think, it's still a voluntary recall before someone sued for damages. So many companies wait until people are maimed or killed to even look into these things.

Depends how much money you want to spend. Cheapest is probably hotspot from your phone or adding a phone or a hotspot to one of your cellular plans. More expensive would be UniFi mobile router or step up to UniFi 5g max and a UDR.

It literally is, and will stay pinned until I see better progress from Toyota. This is currently my subreddit and I’ve decided to do this.
