Prius (Gen 3) :: Using Remote AC Button To Warm Up The Vehicle?


Oct 2, 2011

this is my third hybrid (Camry hybrid and RX 400).

I have a '11 Prius IV with solar panel and remote AC button on my fob. Not much good information on this in the manual. I'd like to use the remote AC button (assuming a charged battery) to begin the interior warmup and defrost process on cold mornings.

However, it seems that when I hold the remote button on the fob as instructed in the guide, it turns everything on in the car for a brief moment (5 seconds or less) as opposed to a full 3 minutes as the manual describes. Again, the battery is at least 3/4 to a full charge and the process begins when I hold down remote start, but it just turns everything of after a brief period.

Prius (Gen 3) :: Remote Controls AC Equipped Button Don't Work

Page 285 of the 2010 Prius Owner Manual states:

"Remote Air Conditioning System" =if equipped

The Remote Air Conditioning System uses electrical energy stored in the hybrid battery (traction battery) and allows the air conditioning to be operated by remote control. My remote controls have this button, but nothing happens when I press them for a couple seconds.

Prius Plug-in 2012-15 :: How Does A/C Button On Remote Work In Winter

It gets really cold in the winter (-30 C is common). Now I'm wondering how does the A/C button on the remote work? Is it literally just for remote air conditioning or can it also be used in freezing temperatures to remotely start the car to warm it up?

Normally I don't warm up my car but when it's been sitting outside in -20C or colder I sometimes let it run a few minutes just to clear the windshield before I drive.

If the A/C button doesn't work the heat also in the freezing cold, will this kit for the regular Prius work?

Prius (Gen 2) :: Unlock All Doors With Single Remote Button Switch

I happened to read the following passage on page 37 of the owners manual discussing usage of the wireless remote control:

To Unlock: Push the unlock switch once to unlock the driver's door alone. Pushing the switch twice within 3 seconds unlocks all the doors simultaneously ... This double switch operation to unlock all the side doors and back door can be changed to a single switch operation. For details, contact your Toyota dealer.Click to expand...

(Note that this is different than the "smart unlocking" operations discussed on page 32.)

I'm interested in having all the doors unlock with just a single press of the remote unlock button. How to achieve this setting?

Prius (2010-12) :: How To Defeat Panic Button On Smart Key Remote

Any way to defeat the stupid panic button on the remote? In the past I have poured glue into them, Popped the red thing out, etc , but this is a lease and I might well turn it in in a few years and do not want to physically modify the smart key, but twice in the last week it has falsely triggered by getting pressed by the other keys on my keychain as I sat in the house. This must be a common problem, since I had to defeat the same button on 2 other cars I had. I am wondering if there is a software fix to have the receiver in the car ignore the panic mode.

Prius (2004-09) :: Beep When Press The Power Button To Shut Down The Vehicle

Recently, my 2007 Prius will make a "BEEP" when I press the POWER button to shut down the vehicle. This doesn't happen all the time, but only 1 out of 25 times or so. Other than the beep, I can't seem to figure out what's wrong. Everything seems to work as normal.

Gen 3 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: Vehicle Settings - Remote 2-Press Unlock / Key System With Elec Means?

I am new to the web site and new to owning a Prius. Recently my wife and I bought a 2013 Prius two. I have a couple questions about the settings menu on the display. When you hit the set up button and then 'vehicle' it gives you a list of several items you can turn on or off. The first few are pretty easy to understand such as the doors unlocking at a certain speed or when shifting to or from park. But the others I've tried to search for what they mean and can't find anything. So my questions are:

1. What does 'Remote 2-Press Unlock' mean? And

2. What does 'Key System with Elec. Key' mean?

Camry 2012+ :: How To Disable Remote Car Key For Vehicle

I have two Remote car keys for Toyota Camry 2012 vehicle. I lost one of them. I am worried if someone has that key and they can steal my car without breaking. FYI, I used to park in the Railway station where the parking is not secured.

I am thinking of two ways. One is to disable the lost remote key, so that no one can use it. Second way is to deactivate the remote sensors in the car so that no can lock or unlock the car with the remote. Just lock and unlock it manually.

2004 Passat 1.8T ... The unlock part of the remote won't work ... It used to, but won't now ... The trunk release and lock buttons on the remote work just fine though ...

In case this comes up, this is the only remote I have for the car right now ... Bought it used and it only came with one ...

Passat (B7) :: AC On But Will Blow Warm Air When Start The Vehicle

Having issues with the AC system turning on to blow cold air? The problem seems to be intermittent so I don't know how I would be able to replicate the problem if/when I take the car in for service. My problem typically occurs when I start the vehicle. The AC will be on but will blow warm air. I seem to have to continually play with the HVAC controls for it to finally kick on and blow cold air.

When I searched, I read that the malfunction may be caused by a bad solder in the system but wasn't able to find a concrete resolution to the problem. Should I call a few dealerships to see if the service writers are aware of the issue? Being in AZ, not having AC for the first 5-10 minutes in the car can be brutal. The car in question is a 2014 3.6 SEL ...
