Remote Start on the Land Cruiser 250 - Keyfob or App Controlled

The 35" tires on my LC250 rub in the front (due to the long travel being moved forward 2") and it also makes contact on the top when jumping/bottoming out. So I removed the fender flares, fender liners, and 2 more brackets on the back side of the fender wall. I'm planning on cutting along the inside line where the fender lip folds over. That should give me the clearance I need. And still look okay. (Here's a look at everything removed)

Hey fellow 250 owners! I found something out today about the LC250 and remote start. When I bought my 250 from the dealership they only mentioned the Toyota app that you can use to remote start + lock/unlock the car etc... So I was under the assumption only the app could remote start. Which is what I've been using for the last 3 months and you get included with your vehicle purchase for around 3 years and then you have too start paying for it. If you've used the app you know it's super slow. But today I found out you can do it on the key fob also. Nobody else has been talking about this so I was unaware I could do it there also. It is still really slow to start from the fob but you just have to press once, let go, press and let go again, then press and hold on the third click. It still takes a while to start but it's nice to know the option exists. I'll share the YT short I saw about it in case you want to watch it also.

What other tricks/hacks am I missing out on?
