Bringing this back from the dead. Has anyone experienced remote start using the key fob not working after having the car battery replaced? It was working fine prior to the 25k service where they replaced my battery. Now when I try to remote start using my key fob, car won’t turn on.

Are you using the new "Lexus" app (Black icon w/silver logo) or the original "Lexus Enform Remote Start" app (blue with four (4) password fields)?
Be sure to use only the new app and then, 1) does the app start the car? If not, 2) does it display current miles and fuel level information?
We are checking on the communication between the car, Lexus and your device.
OP, have you been routinely using the fob all summer or is this failed attempt the first time this season?

The remote start only works if Enform has been enabled at some point. It has never worked on the wife's car because we never registered for Enform. Sounds like the previous owner had it, and either it expired, or it got terminated after you bought it. Considering how lackadaisical some dealerships are about Enform registration and deregistration it wouldn't surprise me at all if that's what happened to your car.

I can only speak on my wife's NX because we went through the same thing, and I am sure after the year free of enform on my 2020 rcf I'll go the same route. After the free year for her, the fob no longer remoted started the car. I'm not paying for a subscription service to remote start the car. That's ridic. I went to 12v solutions and ordered their remote starter for her NX. Install was 100% plug and play and no splicing of any wires. I caught the sale around this time a year or two ago, so it wasn't bad. Install took about an hour (when I did her friends NX with the same kit, it only took me 25-30 minutes). Retains all OEM features via remoting starting with the FOB.
I think it's silly that we pay all this money and the technology is in the vehicle already to be able to remote start the car, yet they want a subscription service for it. Seems really asinine to me when a $20k Honda civic has it with no issues.
I'd have to dig up some pictures that I posted a couple years back on the NX thread but if I recall it was a Directed control module. But the wiring harness was nicely done and everything was plug and play. Took 30 seconds to program to the car and then it's worked since. If you want to be able to use your phone then you could have to get Drone Mobile or something like that. I don't care for any of that. I just want to be able to remote start the car with the fob.

Thanks, I went to their website and found the kit for the GS350. They have the app option beside the OEM FOB one.
It's about $300. I am waiting to find out if it works in the Canadian model (probably should find out if it works in the GS F as well)

I really don't know. I don't have a 3IS to know what they did for remote start on them. You might have more success asking in the 3IS forum, I'd bet there have been members with remote start issues/questions on their cars.
