Blog Feb 22nd, 2026

As part of Toyota Connected Services, drivers can take advantage of the Toyota App’s Remote Connect features and functions to add a whole new level of comfort and convenience to their driving experience. Remote Connect allows users to connect their phone to their Toyota model of choice and enjoy remote climate controls, control door locks, activate heated seats, and so much more. Below, we’ve highlighted some of the most convenient Toyota Remote Connect features.

Engine Start/Stop

Select Toyota models are equipped with remote engine start and stop, activated through the Toyota App using Remote Connect services. This feature is perfect for the colder months of the year, when getting your vehicle started and warmed up before you need to get inside is a major comfort.

Remote Door Locking and Unlocking

Locking and unlocking your vehicle’s doors via the Toyota App is one of the major benefits of Remote Connect. Can’t remember if you locked your doors? With Remote Connect, drivers can lock them at any time, no matter how far away they are from the vehicle.

Window Status

Similarly, drivers can check in on the open or closed status of their windows via Remote Connect. If the weather starts to grow poor and you can’t remember if your vehicle’s windows are all the way down, this convenient feature will provide you with additional peace of mind.

Last Parked Location

We’ve all forgotten where we parked before. Fortunately, it’s easy to find your vehicle’s last parked location with the Toyota App. No matter where you left your car, this convenient feature will help you track it down.
