Default Lexus Enform going away?

I heard that Lexus Enform, which you can use to do things like remote start on GS, is going away this October. If that's true, then you wouldn't be able to do remote start? Or you have to install a third party stuff?

As of the information that's out there right now, you would need to install a 3rd-party device to get remote start and other features, unfortunately.

Does anyone know of any 3rd party kits that don't require having to carry another keyfob? I'm pretty minimal with my keys and don't want to deal with a 2nd keyfob in my pocket.

I installed a Fortin, you can hit the lock 3 times on the OEM FOB which remote starts. But I installed a 2 way 5000' add on, that range usually works whevever I would like to remote start the vehicle from, this would require a 2nd FOB. The 2 way let's you know if it started, and when it stops, you can set how long to run for on the remote start. Works for me when it's -20 out and the car has a lot of ice and snow on it.
