【AUTHOR AUTO START｜Remote Engine Starter Compatible with App and Remote Control】

When you want to warm the car interior on cold winter mornings, or when you want to make a hot summer car interior more comfortable—even a little—the idea of going out to the car just to start the engine can feel like more of a hassle than you’d expect once it becomes a daily routine.

AUTHOR AUTO START is a remote engine starter that, in addition to operation using the genuine key (which also supports starting the engine with just three presses of the lock button) and the dedicated remote control, also supports starting the engine from a smartphone app by combining with AUTHOR CONNECT 2.0 (Compass). You can improve comfort without preparing an additional genuine key specifically for the engine starter, in a way that feels close to your usual usage.

Can be used in combination with security systems such as IGLA

AUTHOR AUTO START also supports installation work in combination with IGLA and KEYLESS BLOCK. Even on vehicles equipped with security, its feature is that you can add remote start while checking the vehicle-specific specifications and how it relates to existing systems.

Although the MyTOYOTA app has limitations on engine start time, AUTO START supports operation for up to 60 minutes with a single start. This makes it easier to use whether you want to warm the interior properly or cool it down.

It also includes a voltage monitoring function, so it takes care of battery voltage management—something that tends to be a concern on vehicles equipped with security equipment. Since the appropriate settings vary depending on how frequently you use the vehicle and the storage environment, we will guide you while looking at the actual vehicle condition.

Vehicle-specific compatibility checks and installation are important

A remote engine starter is not something you can use the same way just by installing the product. Depending on the vehicle model and year, the specifications of the genuine system, and the security already installed, the required configuration and installation details will change.

Especially with new vehicles, compatibility checks may be required depending on the combination with the vehicle’s firmware. At LOGON, after confirming vehicle information in advance, we provide guidance including the balance with security features, everyday ease of use, and confirmation of proper operation after installation.

Depending on your goals—such as “I only need it for winter,” “I want to prioritize measures against summer heat,” or “I want to handle it all together with security”—the best choice can differ. We can organize everything together to match how you use your car, including whether it makes sense to add AUTO START.

Adding comfort while making your important car easy to use as usual. For those who want to value that balance, AUTHOR AUTO START is an engine starter that’s easy to consider.
