don’t know. Ditched the Enform app as soon as the Viper system was installed.

The only thing I like the app is it will tell you how much fuel is left in the tank and which door/window is open.

Hopefully Lexus has improve the app reliability.
Good move. I put an Audiovox RS system on my 2013 ES for under $300.00 and Lexus wanted $700.00... Only drawback is that the engine still quits when you open the door...
I side with those that say because the RS system is built into the car when assembled, leave it on and DON'T CHARGE!!

Yep, every Toyota / Lexus Push To Start car does that for "Safety" reason......I kind of get used to it by now. I would even consider using the Lexus App RS even it was free, it is too buggy for my taste.
My wife's 08 RX350 (non-push-to-start) does not shut down when the doors are open, it only shuts down when you press the brake pedal when the key is not inserted into to key slot.

Also the only downside of installing an aftermarket RS/Alarm system is carrying 2 key fobs (Lexus + Viper fob), sort of used to it now.

My system used the Lexus key fob. No second key fob required plus was twice the range...

Love the range on the Viper as well. I RSed the car in my hotel room 8 floors up facing the parking lot. Interior warmed and de-iced after a long night of snow storm at South Lake Tahoe CA. RSed the car in my office and the interior is cooled down during those 95F days in CA.
