Rear window with key

Not trying to beat a horse to death here.
I know a lot of people had questions about this & I thought it deserved it's own thread. I don't think this is an unlock feature needing Carista or similar. I believe (correct me if I am wrong) that this is a standard factory feature. This is the info I got from our quick reference guide (ours is a premium but the guide is general).
There has also been talk about the dealership doing this. I don't believe that to be the case either.
If your 4runner doesn't make the windows go down via a key in the rear hatch. You have a warranty issue or repair needed as I read it.
Please, advise if I am incorrect or missing something.
Hope it helps.
Sorry, forgot to turn last picture.

 

Please check @ your convenience & let us know. Thanks.

 

I have a 2019 SR5 4x4.

My rear hatch window WOULD roll up and down from the day i got it with the key in the rear hatch lock cylinder....

The side windows WOULD NOT open and close with the key in the driver's door lock cylinder until i changed it with carista.

BUT BOTH are DEFINITELY an option with the Carista app and dongle.

 

I agree with the above statement. My keys don't open the windows either.
That is a dealer or carista adjustment. This can open windows & sunroof via just remote & more! Might I also recommend changing your puddle lights from 15 to 30 seconds. That is an option also. They are all (if not most) are listed in the full manual under custom features IIRC.
Will advise tomorrow.

 

No puddle lights on my sr5

But theres lots of options on the carista app... I also made the windows roll down by just pressing and holding the unlock button on the key fob, turned off the annoying eco bar under the MPH reading, disabled the set belt dinging, adjusted the lock/unlock vehicle beep volume, adjusted the rear wiper intervals etc. etc.... The biggest thing for me was disabling the seat belt dinging and that eco bar. Those 2 things were worth the $20 price tag. If that was ALL it could do i would of still ordered it as that was all i really wanted it for.

I doubt i will use the windows up/down with key in lock cylinder much, if ever, honestly. And only use the key fob to roll windows down when its REALLY hot outside and im about to leave, but im also parked in my own yard... So not too often LOL

 

I don't want the seatbelt ding to go away. However, every other feature sounds excellent! I know with them you can roll down the windows with the FOB (dealership wants $62.50 per adjustment!).
$20 carista is the answer for sure!

 

off topic, but can you make your side windows roll up with the key fob?

 

Yes , but dealer has to customize that option for you.

On my 2020 with key fob in poket i push and hold arrow window goes down no issues.

 

thanks. i tried with carista and i can only roll them down but not up. i have to use the key in the door to roll the back up or use the door buttons

 

Theres did dude ON U TUBE doing a.demo..i.

I think its.a triple push unlock and to lock 3 times too but stealership has to do it with their plug in equipment.

 

If it’s under the 12/12 warranty time period the dealership will do it for free if you ask them.

 

Say what?
They will do what for you? I asked for customizations after 2 days (upon bringing old title back). The dealer told me it was "labor" hrs out of service department & he couldn't do anything. $62.50 per adjustment.
I talked to the GM & got a free paint correction & any free customization I wanted. Once I heard of carista, I rather spend the time than some NFG tech playing with out 4runner.
They (most dealerships) lie about most things; as a salesman they hide behind ignorance. It is very sad. A T4R buyer knows these vehicles. I was vaguely familiar with them & I asked many questions the "senior sales manager" couldn't answer. Absolutely insane!
I took the paint corrections and ran out of there to a proper detailer & got Xpel and ceramic coating.
Carista is on the way...

 

Wow I’m sorry to hear that. The window setting is under the free adjustment period including a free wheel alignment as well I’ve managed the dealership I’m at now for 12 years and we would never think of doing that. I’d find a different one you can trust and go there. If you really feel passionate about it call toyota and open a case on how you were treated. Bad dealerships hurt things for all of us.

 

Thanks for your honesty.
There are 3 local Toyota dealers. One is more of a monopoly than a dealership. They own one of every brand within roughly 400 miles.
The second is a dealership that is & has been struggling for a long time. They cannot find their niche in the Toyota sales market in Omaha.
3rd is our dealership. They are not from around here but pride themselves on being family owned... blag blah blad. (My daddy's daddy...) nepotism!
If you have time or care. I will share all info over PM. The GM basically shut us down after I called out hundreds of faults by his "senior salesman". He satisfied us just enough to leave. He won.
We then has to spend $1k on paint corrections due to them using a brushed carwash on a black vehicle just after a snow storm... It just continues!
Sorry for the rant. 8 months & I am still pissed. This wasn't a $15k vehicle!

 

Not to discredit you. I just wonder if you missed a section or setting. If you can roll down but not up, what is the point?
How can the dealership do both but carista only do one function.
Thanks for the information!

 

I brought mine back a week after taking delivery cause I didn't want the doors auto locking when I put the vehicle into gear. Tech did it in literally 4 minutes zero cost to me.

 

prior to using carista, i was unable to roll down my windows via key fob. (i have a limited). after using carista, i was able to roll down the 4 windows via key fob w/ the double unlock and hold. but when i double lock and hold, it does not roll up.

i currently have a bug open with carista as they are looking into the issue. it's probably a limited thing

ohh i also have a buddy with TRDop and he can roll down with the fob but not up also

 

Thanks for letting me know. Mine will be here soon. I will let everyone know what happens to ours. Fingers crossed.

 

I got my selling dealer to program the customizations for free. I know alignments are free in the adjustment period but I never heard of Techstream customization being free. On my work order it wasn’t even categorized as a warranty type service. It just says customer pay and $0.00

 

I bought the Carista for my 20, you can use it to program the remote to roll the windows down but not up. Hopefully that gets added to carista!

 

That needs to be fixed. That is an interesting fact also. Why would they program it that way?
Has anyone had the dealership program their's & does it work in both directions? That is now the real question. Is Carista just not able to get deep enough...
Thanks for your response!

 

It sounds like you are the furthest ahead in the hunt! Lol Please, let us know what you find! This is odd.
Wait, something stupid. If unlock x2 is down. What is 2x lock? Start I imagine but I don't have ours yet.
Thanks to all!

Happy Halloween!

 

Mine is mainly a convenience for my wife. When walking to her 4r when it is over 100° out & our vehicles have the ability to do this... I am in no way saying it is a major issue. However, if it is built into the vehicle. Let's figure it out for $20! Just saying...

 

FWIW,

here's the customization list for the 5th gen 4runner. carista only mentioned that they could "Open windows and sunroof via long-press on remote" they never said "Close windows and sunroof via long-press" But they clearly stated that you can "Close windows and sunroof by turning and holding key in door lock"

She works downtown directly next to the river. There are homeless and crazies everywhere. I really don't like her going on walks during the day. I am not giving anyone the opportunity to think it is vulnerable. There is a homeless encampment within 300yrds of companies front door (this is a company that is very large & multi national!).
There are cameras everywhere but if she is pulled into the bushes!
Rather safe than sorry. I learned that the hard way!!!

 

Also, it maybe a clear day here but we get flash storms a lot. This maybe a reason for window visors I want to get her. Those are way more than the $20 carista.
Only time will determine what works.

 

In a single word... Meth!
Otherwise, we are a big city; with big city problems. We have huge airforce bases (Offutt & S.A.C) & we all know they don't help our heroes the way they should. Otherwise, the Omaha metro area is just around 1 million people! That is a big enough city to have lots of problems. Hell, I was shot in our driveway! Also, I was shot by an 18 yr old whitetrash tweaker.
I am still pro gun. Figure that out! LMAO

 

We live in what is considered midtown. I refuse to move West as everyone does as my wife works downtown (12 minutes away) & as a lawn/landscaping contractor I am driving for a living.
We love our neighbors & neighborhood and will not give it up. My grandmother lived 3 miles away for over 70 yrs. There is a catholic school in our neighborhood and a females high school up the street.
Just the inner city.
Philly is nuts also. I would be 45 minutes away unless I was from there. I am living 2 miles from the house I was born in. This is Omaha, not Meth city & I plan to keep my block that way!
Rant over.

 

Sorry, I got busy with Halloween last night. I was under the impression that Carista could unlock the remote engine start function from the remote to allow the FOB to start it.
Is this feature available or am I lost?
Thanks.

 

Depends on what planet you reside in.
