Using the wireless remote (2024 Sequoia)

Does anyone understand how this works? Seems like to lock / unlock the vehicle using my phone I can be quite a distance away. But to start the vehicle, it seems to need a shot line of sight, and even then it often fails to work.

I don't have that same problem. My '24 starts using the app. It is parked about 75 yards from where I am right now. I have no line of site at the moment. It starts just fine. I think that this is a feature that goes away if you are not paying for the subscription.

Thanks for the reply ... this is definitely not the subscription. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I guess I have to experiment with this to better understand the problem.

I now think for the wireless remote I was perhaps simply not using it correctly ... it seems you have to release your finger from the phone screen button after some point when the message begins sending ... and I was just pressing down too long.
