Just wanted to throw out another option for anyone looking for a remote start.... I purchased a system from crutchfield. What I really liked about the system was optional the two way remote!

t-harness
iDatastart ADS-THR-TL7 Remote start T-harness for select 2010-up Toyota and Lexus vehicles at Crutchfield
2 way remote

I have never tried, but if the car is running in remote start mode it will shut off when you open the door.

Unfortunately, I don't have documents that state what codes are in that system as it was apparently not available worldwide. One would probably have to look in TIS

I see you mentioned the one blink

Did you see the double flash on page 19?

Default Remote start option for 2014 GX 460

New owner of a 2014 GX 460 Luxury. Learning. My wife wants remote start. I see info about startin g with the fob with a sequence of buttons, but apparently mine does not have that option. I also see that maybe Enform can be used and have the app, but no start option. I would rather not have to use a second fob for an aftermarket remote start..... what are my options?
Thanks

Welcome to the club! Recently purchased a 2015 GX 460 Premium and I was told by Lexus that 2015 and lower you can have the enform app for safety connect but not remote start. Unfortunately you will most likely have to go aftermarket or find a way around this. Looking at a Viper System as the time to open the app and start the car is a lot more responsive then the Lexus app I have heard.

You can either install RES (10-15 models except from Canada)

or 12V.solution

Thanks. I am fairly handy, but this may be over my head. Which approach is the easiest to install myself?

I’ve installed OEM but the 12V Solution looks easier and doesn’t require Techstream. It still uses factory FOB as well.

There are other distant (cell) starter options as well but I believe most of those are installed by shops.

Understand the desire to have only the single Lexus fob for this but be aware that the
factory fob is the weakest link in this chain. The published range is '80 but your mileage
may vary! The aftermarket systems have more useful range and may (higher priced
versions) be "2-way" which transmits back to the fob that the vehicle successfully started.

I have a 2012 GX460. I just bought the PT398-0T090 in hopes I could piece together the RS system. Does anyone know the part number of the v4 harness? I have not been able to find it anywhere. Thank you.

Unfortunately, I don't remember seeing a PN for this harness.

Here is what I would try:

Check out the national auto wrecking yards searching out 2010-2015 460s and run the VINs at Lexus site checking the build data. If it was dealer installed then won't likely show up but if factory/port might be a way to obtain a used harness.

One caveat I can think to this is I have seen the full harnesses pulled out for sale and they may consider this part of the full vehicle wiring harness and not being willing to separate it.
