0 votes
2017 Toyota sequoia oem alarm. H-key.

evo-one with tharness(THAR-ONE-Toy7) flashed to latest firmware.

rf642w remote

Option D2 enabled and D5 disabled.  
Truck will remote starts normal. It would unlock/disarm, starts, lock/arm.  

I go to unlock using 2way remote and the interior and exterior courtesy lights does NOT turn ON. But if the truck was not remote started, the courtesy lights will turn on when unlock with remote.
not exactly sure why or how to remedy this issue or if it can be fix?

 

thank you

Hello,

If the truck is started with the key normally and you unlock with the oem remote does the courtesy light turn on?

I dont believe it does, sounds like normal operation of the vehicle.

Best regards.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did try that and you were correct. It does NOT light up when unlock from inside using key fob.
my buddy with an 08 sequoia had the Artic Start model installed. His doesnt behave like my evo-one. He remote start his and it goes through the sequence like mine. But when he unlock with key fob while the truck is running. The courtesy light will Turn ON. Very useful at night. So, is there a way to program my evo-one to do that?
If the vehicle does not do it from the factory the evo cannot replicate it through an option.

 

I also see you submitted a ticket email with the same question, since it has been answered here I will close the ticket.

 

Best regards.
Thank you so much.
