Remote start
How cheap is Lexus to not have this as a standard feature. Nearly all cars have remote start with key fob. My 07 chevy had it. Kind of dissappointed.

Just me asking ... why does anyone really need or want remote start ?

Ability to have the GX ready to go on days when the weather is like the campbells soup commercial, or let it air out the heat and have the ac running.
It usually has been a one time cost feature. With the GX, the only solutions are keeping paying for the subscription or risk damage to the BCM module by getting an aftermarket setup.

I live in Arizona and use the remote start on my Jeep to cool off the interior between April and October because it's 140 degrees inside if it sits for any length of time.

How does the remote start feature increase cold start wear? You were going to start the car in the cold either way.

I got the BestBuy Deal for Compustar 2-way remote start system. BestBuy normally has this deal 2-3x a year. this one past, i think look for another around BF time.

It is a slick deal, $250 installed from Best Buy. Comes with T-Harness and mostly Plug & Play.
I also got a few additional options added for Free (programmed in the brain) by the installer. You have to ask for it, otherwise they wouldn't do it. These options are:
So far, this is the best upgrade by far! Good luck!

- OEM fob - Lock, Unlock, Lock remote start. (using this, i don't need the compustar fob and works like factory part).
- Glass Tailgate Trunk open
- 3 Mile T12 Pro upgrade, found the fob on eBay for $230 and Geeksquad installed for free.
So far, this is the best upgrade by far! Good luck!

... because when the vehicle idles for an extended period of time, the warm-up to full operating temperature takes longer. Fuel condenses on the cylinder walls on cold startup and continues for a period of time until the engine temperature increases to where condensation diminishes ... and completely goes away closer to full engine operating temperatures.

Yup for sure. My personal belief is at 53k base, new MY20s at least should get the Remote start for free for more then the 1st year.
