Does anybody know if Toyota is revamping the security system so if you crank it then get out it will lock the doors or allow you to be able to lock the doors? Since now you can install remote start anybody walking down the street can takeoff in a shiny new Taco long as they don't cut it off.. Why in the crap didn't they think of this during production it's not a space shuttle but I'd like to be able to enjoy my heated/cool truck before someone else gets a chance to.

Ya this amazes me too. I would think if the key fob was out of range the engine would cut out when put into gear or the transmission just wouldn't allow to go into gear. You can drive it all over without the fob.
The dash will say no key located and beep and a flashing yellow triangle appears. I guess Toyota thought that would stop a thief from driving it. "Oh well no key found I guess I can't take this new truck after all"
The key fob won't work to lock or unlock while the engine is on. You can't lock the door manually if the door is open. Once the doors are locked and the engine is on there is no way to unlock them from outside the vehicle. No way to securely warm or cool your vehicle before leaving home. Poor design that should be an easy programming fix.
I know I'm interested in being able to do this.
