    Yep- happened to my 2024 with 2400 miles. Went into vehicle customization menu and FOB quit working remotely. Bought the Carista EVO OBD2 on Amazon- used the free trial and fixed it. Wireless door locking was disabled- selected enabled and fixed it. Payed $79 on Amazon and received it in less than 24 hours. I did have to sign up for 30 day free trial. Unbelievable Toyota hasn’t fixed this issue. I will admit I haven’t gone back in to the menu option to try again. I’ll leave well enough alone

    Wife’s 2024 ORP just had this happen with less than 3k miles. I recently installed an accessorides remote start about a month ago and have had zero problems until now. Though it might be related until I saw this thread. I can recall using the fob the other day no problem then the wife noticed it wasn’t working not long after changing settings. Going to see if the dealer can fix it and not mention the remote start. If not I think I will go the Carista route like others have. Totally unacceptable for a vehicle at this price. :mad:

    edit: Carista did the trick. The wireless fob setting was actually disabled like others have stated. Changed that setting as well as a bunch of others.

    I’m having the same issue. Recently tried adjusting the door lock volume setting and now key fob not unlocking/locking doors but proximity sensors still work.

    Went to the Toyota service center and made them aware of this issue as all have reported on this forum, but they are saying it is caused by my after market remote start that the dealership installed when we bought it. Hmmm…

    Anyone else have an after market remote start installed?

    I think is totally unfair paid for “reprogram” your key fog…It’s a factory breakdown! But dealership are super …

    No way they made you pay $100. Contact Toyota corporate if they don’t want to give you a refund.

    also in the future, if they really won’t bulge and plan on making you pay, just say no and do it yourself with carista, it’s $10/month and you can cancel anytime

    I just ordered the Carista EVO and 12 months coverage for $80 with free shipping on their website with a leftover BF discount. Seems like a good tool for my new to me 2024 4R Limited with 1026 miles being delivered next week, potentially for more issues like this. Thanks for all of the great information in this thread. You guys are great!

    New user here.
    I can confirm this issue is still present in the 2024 4Runner.
    I owned a 2015 4Runner SR5, and just traded/upgraded to a 2024 4Runner Limited. Both remotes worked fine at delivery.
    I started adjusting the settings, including the chirp volume level. Both remotes stopped working. The exact symptoms described in this thread.
    Based on the information in this thread, I decided purchase the Carista interface to the OBDII reader (on sale for Black Friday), and purchase the 12-month subscription (on sale for $29.95). I reset the setting, and now both remotes work again.
    A big THANK YOU to the users of this community!
