So I just picked up my 21' GR Supra. I was definitely interested in finding out if there's any Compustar units like the Drone-Mobile, or whatever can do the same as that. Tips are appreciated for sure!

I got in contact with the guys at 12volt.solutions and they told me that they are looking into making a remote start kit for the new Supra and that they will notify me when they figure it out.

Good to hear, that was originally a big requirement for my car but I felt pretty confident it would get it at some point since it has connected services already.

Ages ago I use install remote start\car alarms so i would know at least this....gone are the days for "most" modern cars where you could just physically tap into the cars ignition wiring harness and if equipped, get an immobilizer bypass to start a car remotely.

Lately, with everything being software controlled, software\hardware companies such as iData, will either crack the cars ECU that controls the door lock\unlock and start process; or possibly get help from the auto maker to create the software for the module to sell a compatible Remote Start\Alarm solution.

2014+ BMWs (and current Supra's) iDrive system, immobilizer, comfort entry\exit access, and start process from a computers point of view is quite complex and as of today, there has only been one company (for 2014+ BMWs anyway) has figured it out and has a solution > https://www.eurostart.com/products/bmw-remote-start (but there is no Supra option -- it should technically be a similar system as the Fxx chassis BMWs though).

BMW only started doing remote start (via phone app) recently with their iDrive 7 system (and of course the Supra is using the out dated iDrive 6 system :mad: so there will never be an update from Toyota\Supra). That said, I just don't expect an aftermarket remote start kit to ever be available for the Supra.

Yeah, Germany is not big on remote starts due to emission impact...

Well, this was the news back in September.
https://www.motor1.com/news/535253/bmw-remote-engine-start-update/

Under my Garage, click the vehicle your want to upgrade, on the top you will see "ConnectedDrive Store" click that, your will see the "Remote Engine Start".

Supra surely can't do it with iDrive6, but sounds to me like it could be figured out with coding? Perhaps not a popular request for people to go after and figure out..

Is there an update on this? My friend bought a 2021 and he said it came with remote start. I'm assuming the previous owner must have installed some kind of remote start kit.

Please gather more details on this! As of now we don't have solution that is known.

Once I see it in person, I'm going to do a full investigation! I'll keep the community posted.
