Do You Really Have to Leave Heating On for Pre-Heat

[Duo_Lon]

I saw a post on Facebook (or somewhere, can't remember) where someone mentioned their pre-heat didn’t work from the app one time. Someone else commented saying that, for pre-conditioning to work, you actually need to leave the heating switched on when you exit the car. Is that really how it works? Anyone else heard this? Seems a bit odd!

Yeah, that sounds about right! Leaving the heating on might be necessary for it to pre-condition properly.

Weird, I've never heard of that. Usually, you can pre-condition your car remotely, no matter what the car's settings are. You should check the manual or ask a Toyota dealer. Maybe there's some weird setting or something that needs to be on for it to work
