From Toyota manual...
"The smart key system uses weak radio waves. In the following situations, the
communication between the electronic key and the vehicle may be affected,
preventing the smart key system, wireless remote control and engine immobilizer
system from operating properly.
(Ways of coping: ?P. 540)
?When the electronic key battery is depleted
?Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large display,
airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electrical
noise
?When the electronic key is in contact with, or is covered by the following
metallic objects
• Cards to which aluminum foil is attached
• Cigarette boxes that have aluminum foil inside
• Metallic wallets or bags
• Coins
• Hand warmers made of metal
• Media such as CDs and DVDs
?When other wireless keys (that emit radio waves) are being used nearby
?When carrying the electronic key together with the following devices that
emit radio waves
• When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other
wireless communication device
• Another vehicle’s electronic key or a wireless key that emits radio waves
• Personal computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players
• Portable game systems
?If window tint with a metallic content or metallic objects are attached to the
rear window
?When the electronic key is placed near a battery charger or electronic
devices"
And there are a whole lot of other conditions listed as

As per Marks post above, the top 12V socket is the nearest to the push button start, which is also the receiver etc for the radio waves. Most likely interference from the phone charger acting upon the 12V plug you had plugged in.
