Default Daytime running lights with remote start

Has anyone installed a remote start and had the setting to have the daytime running lights turn on?

we just installed one on our 14 tundra and they come on.

Helps with finding your car in a big lot and such.

Thanks guys

I believe if the switch in the car is NOT set to DRL off. DRL will be on during remote start.

You should have your installer check the settings, I'm sure he just has to program it that way, t may also depend on which starter you have!

The installer set up mine so the DRL's are not on and the doors lock when I remote start it, so it's running but appears to be off and remains locked so it can't be driven away!

Take off the parking brakes and it will turn on.

If I start my car and the lights are on off (not auto) the DRL doesn't start until I disengage the parking brakes.
