The 2015 Toyota Highlander offers the option of remote starting directly from Toyota. Utilizing your original equipment manufacturer (OEM) key fob, the system allows you to start your vehicle from close proximity. This feature can be particularly advantageous if you reside in an extremely cold or hot area, as it enables your car to cool down or warm up for a comfortable driving experience. Additionally, remote starting can assist in bringing your engine fluids to the appropriate temperature before driving, helping to minimize damage to internal components. One limitation of Toyota's remote start system is that it has a limited range and does not function from a great distance away from the vehicle.
Remote start is available on the 2015 Highlander, but many owners are opting for an aftermarket kit instead because they find the range of the original Toyota key fob to be too limited.
