Hello, just acquired myself a 2013 ES350. I was looking in the owners manual and noticed you can have all the windows roll down as well as the sunroof if you hold the unlock button on the key fob. When I do this, it doesn't work and I have tried both key fobs that came with the car. Do you think it may be possible that the previous owner had this disabled? or does this come disabled from factory by default. If there's a way to bring this feature back please let me know how to go about doing so.

Thank you!

 

Sounds like you have to enable this function via Techstream.

 

I did this on my 2013 ES. I had to use a Carista module. You can do that or as suggested, Techstream... IIRC it's in the "personalization" section of your O.M. GOOD LUCK!

 

Thanks for the replies y'all. Found the answer in my ES350 owners manual.

 

Forgot, Carista may have the option if you pay the “subscription”

 

Might have to look into that

 

You can order it on Amazon, use it, then return it. 😅

 

Unfortunately looks like they do not sell it on Amazon anymore. Bummer. But wow that's a cool tool. Never heard of it until now. Sweet.

 

Ahh, bummer.

It is a cool diagnostics tool too.

 

Can it read transmission temperature?

 

If you pay for the subscription, maybe. I’m not entirely sure.

 

Just looked it up and it appears you can, the dongle also works with other applications as well so you can use a different apps that may be compatible with reading transmission fluid temperatures. Yeah definitely need to get this dongle not only for the hidden ECU features, but also being able to monitor things for whenever I do a transmission drain and fill and it would be a great useful tool to have going down the line of owning this car. Definitely appreciate the information here. I currently have the BlueDriver OBD2 tool that I've owned for years, but it has its limitations with reading live data, but it does read codes pretty good, but it's not a "complete" experience to say the least and I'm actually pretty disappointed that you can't see a bunch of important live data logs as the driver was kind of expensive. I wouldn't even mind paying for a package to see more live data, but I guess you can't win em all as they say...

 

When you first buy the Carista you get a free period of time to use all the pro features.
