Press lock twice, then press and hold lock for a 3rd time until you see the lights blink and engine start.

Not sure when they started requiring Enform subscription to use this feature. I know I HAVE to have Enform to start my 2016. Can't say that I use it as much as I thought I would.

And yes, you need an Enform Remote subscription.

There is a Lexus fob only RS available. Cost is about $500 and the range is quite
short, published as '80. As you are paying to have something installed, consider
an aftermarket one, cheaper and better functionality. Note: both OEM and others
will shut down when you open a door. Something about initializing with the key
being present. When you RS the key is not being sensed by the car. When you
restart after entering the key is being properly sensed and all systems are go.

You need Enform remote. Remote start will not work without a paid subscription, app or key fob.

At least they lowered the prices a bit. $160 a year for the safety remote plan is a more reasonable.

Yeah, I bought the 3 year safety remote. Totally worth it for me. 3rd party alternatives cost $110/yr but do not provide the level of sophistication the Enform app provides for $50 more. I'm glad I have mine.

Same here. I struggled a bit at first understanding it. However, it also operates your SOS button etc. You can also start/lock/unlock your car from practically anywhere using the app. With the app you can also get your vehicle status which tells you if your doors etc is open, your odometer/trips and fuel. The "vehicle finder" assist when you forgot where you parked. There is also the guest driver feature for Valet etc.

Yep. I'm using the full on Enform app for a couple years now. Almost daily and multiple times. I need to test the valet and guest driver features but assuming that it works as good as the rest, I'll rest easy when I valet the Gs
