Do 2024 Toyota Sienna have remote start?
Yes. The 2024 Toyota Sienna can be started remotely through Toyota’s Remote Connect app, but availability depends on trim and market, and most users will need a subscription after any included trial period.
How remote start works in the 2024 Sienna
Remote start is part of Toyota’s connected services. In the Sienna, you typically activate it via the Toyota app on your smartphone, allowing you to start the engine and precondition the cabin. A Remote Connect subscription is usually required after a limited trial period, and the feature is not guaranteed on every trim by default.
What you need to use remote start
You’ll need a compatible smartphone, an active Remote Connect subscription, and your vehicle linked to your Toyota Owner account. Exact steps and availability can vary by region and model year, so consult your owner’s manual or local dealer for precise instructions.
Trim availability and regional notes
Remote start availability is not uniform across all 2024 Sienna trims or markets. Here is a typical breakdown for U.S. configurations.
- LE: Remote Connect is not always standard; may be available via option packages or a subscription after a trial.
- XLE: Remote Start via the app is commonly included with a trial of Remote Connect; ongoing use requires a subscription beyond the trial.
- Limited: Remote Start via the app is typically included, with a trial period; post-trial access requires subscription.
Note: Features and availability can differ by country or region. Check with a local Toyota dealer for the exact configuration and pricing in your area.
How to use remote start on a 2024 Sienna
Assuming your model includes Remote Connect and you have an active subscription, you can start the engine remotely using the Toyota app. The app usually also lets you precondition the cabin, set climate controls, and check vehicle status. For safety, the engine will only start when conditions are safe (e.g., doors are locked, vehicle is in park).
To enable remote start, follow these steps in the Toyota app.
- Open the Toyota app and select your Sienna from the connected vehicles list.
- Choose Remote Start and confirm with your app credentials (and any required PIN or biometric login).
- Optionally set climate control or cabin preconditioning, then confirm the start command.
After starting, you can typically manage climate settings and monitor status via the app. If you encounter issues, verify your Remote Connect subscription status and that the vehicle is properly linked to your account.
Summary
The 2024 Toyota Sienna does offer remote start through Toyota’s Remote Connect app, but it is not guaranteed on every trim and often requires an active subscription after a trial period. Availability varies by trim and region, so prospective buyers should confirm with a local dealer and review the specific package contents before purchase. When available, remote start provides convenient cabin preconditioning and climate control, accessible through the Toyota app.
