Remote Start Options
Hello,
Anyone know of any aftermarket remote starts for our car? Lexus decided to end our 3g coverage right into winter so that's nice.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I used 12 v solutions for my GS F, easy install, no need to splice wires.
Hit lock button 3 times to remote start the car, no issues.

I didn't want to spend another $300 for a remote start for my ct200h. So, I simply bought a Directed db3 module ($70), bought a t-harness ($20) then tapped three wires from the db3 wiring harness to the T-harness. Everything is plug and play. Boom. remote start on the CT.
I'd say if you don't want to "test" it out and drop $300 for their kit, do what I did with my CT. Worst case you are out $100 and then can sell it back to someone for exactly what you paid.
I can't imagine that it wouldn't work on a GSF... makes no sense why it wouldn't. It's the same module. Almost any remote start kit out there is using a Directed DB3 module. The car is push start, and it's the same t-harness throughout most lexus models. You are paying for the convenience of having someone else solder 3 wires to a t-harness and wrapping it for you. When you realize how easy it is to do, it a shame that places are charging a 200-300% markup on such a cheap item...

nice! You’re one of the first that I’ve seen that got the app on the GSF as well. Haven’t been wanting to pull the trigger because nobody could confirm the app would work for the GSF as well. Anything special have to be done during install??

Nothing special to do. Just follow the included activation instructions and make sure you’re outside and have a decent cell signal. They use t mobile towers so it shouldn’t be an issue.

Purchased this kit, installed it tonight, but car won't start. It cranks over for a few seconds, stops, and starts over again for more two cycles. Car will start normally with push button, but I do notice there is a slightly longer crank time to start. Anyone had this problem?
