I've always been overly **** about overusing my starter (stupid, probably) so when I bought my car with the remote starter, I took it off the keychain and have never used it. I'll go outside and start it myself when it's -25 degrees F.

Another vote for 12V Solutions. I had an issue programming it due to the factory-installed system but, a quick call to their support and they walked me through it. I had the same system on a 2017 4Runner and was pleased with it. You can usually find a sale code. Add the Carlink app later.

Dear all,
To install RES module, do we need techstream software downloaded in our laptops and interface to connect to the port?
I have to install Crawl and MTS so thought to combine RES also.
Could you guide me regarding the techstream

I would prefer factory RES than the aftermarket RES.

You do need to use Techstream to program it.

Thanks for the fast response Arcad. How much it costs and what is the interface to connect from laptop to the car port

Can anyone confirm that certain model years can still use the remote to do remote start after the enform subscription has expired?

I never had the enform app to perform remote start. Factory remote start without enform in my 2015 Luxury.

2010-2015 and free for first 3 years of 2019+ according to this - https://www.lexus.com/enform/#remote




The big question is what Lexus plans to offer for '16-'18 owners as even short range AFAIK relies on this subcription.

My 2021 is only included for the first year. I cant find anywhere online where it says If I can use the factory remote to remote start once the enform subscription is up. I read online where if the subscription expires it disables the remote start completely

My link above says 3 years

https://www.lexus.com/enform/#remote

That does appear to be the case without subscription

the description says up to 3 years on the link and screenshot. I read somewhere that said it was possible for certain newer models to be able to start it without enform subscription but was not confirmed. Here is my lexus subscription. Only 1 year trial

I'd recommend reaching out to Lexus and ask about the up to 3 year statement on the website.

https://www.lexus.com/contact

I am not personally aware of any '16+ OEM remote start working on a 460 without a subscription
