#13 of 17 minus 44 by nodak2 Jan 24, 2009 (7:49 am)
It was minus 44 this month in ND. Needless to say, its good to have a remote start on my hybrid.
#14 of 17 Remote Start on 2009 Camry Hybrid by jrsdriver Sep 09, 2009 (8:12 am)
I have a remote start on my 2009 Camry Hybrid. I ordered the car equipped with it from the dealer.   It works great! No problem with the fob. The RS is integrated in the fob.   I also have proximity door locks, so, when I approach the car with the fob, not only do the doors open but the car turns itself off. Then, I have to start it again with the Start button. I would prefer it if the car did not turn itself off. After all, the doors open only if one has a key, so the need for security is not served by turning off the engine. However, that is my only complaint. Perhaps Toyota will fix that in future models.

Replying to: jrsdriver (Sep 09, 2009 8:12 am) I would disagree, you have told the engine to start, all you need to do is open the door, be shoved away and now someone has your car with the engine started and running. If you approach your car and the engine is not running, you open the door, they shove you away, they can't start it. Having the engine stop to confirm you are in safely does make sense. I don't have any problems with it working this way. It does fit with their safety configuration.   I do use my remote start most cool mornings. When I give it a pre-warmup, my AM drive is 5 to 8 mpg better.

I have a 2009 TCH with factory remote start. My wife used it for the first time yesterday(minus 1) and gave it 35 minutes. Came out of her office and the car was barely warm. It seems the engine shuts off after a few minutes. Anyone with any experience that can shed some light on this? My local dealer where I purchased it doesn't know or just won't give a straight answer. Thanks for any help.....this was a $575 option. Ouch. Replies to this message: nodak2 (Dec 04, 2009 3:20 pm)

Replying to: ret4good (Dec 04, 2009 2:03 pm) I suggest you call Toyota USA since your dealer isn't providing any answers or service.
