You may have to get your vehicle's DCM (Data Communication Module) updated for it to start your vehicle. This is likely because some vehicles used 3G as the original communication platform but this 3G wireless mobile telecommunications technology was discontinued. So, now a DCM update is needed from Lexus at no-charge. This has to be done at a Lexus dealership's service department.

See the Lexus Technical Service information Bulletin L- SB-0006-19 in the attachment of this post for information applicable to various years and Lexus models.

I thought only the 2018 and up got the 4G module that enabled communication with the app. The prior ones had 3G.

Although that documentation does mention 2015. I wonder if it's only for the key fob remote start.

Although 2015 is mentioned in the flyer that bclexus posted, nothing earlier than 2018 is mentioned in the TSB that he attached.

I got my DCM updated (initialized) this morning so there is now a handshake communication for both the key fob and the 'My Lexus' app with the Remote Start feature. Both work flawlessly to remote start my 2018 GS 450h!

Yes, you can do this if you use the physical key.
