Just spoke with my dealer's Master Tech about this. He says that the workaround that enables this is not authorized by Lexus at all, and that Lexus is actively contacting dealers who perform this install and asking them to bring the cars back in and remove the parts. Apparently the workaround makes your Safety Connect inoperable.

I think its dumb that the vehicle shuts off if you remote start it and unlock the car.
Aftermarket solutions and other factory ones do not work in this same fashion.
Wonder why they made it where the vehicle turns off.
Seems like an afterthought addon if there is a conflict of the vehicle CAN signal not staying running when unlocking.

Lexus DOES NOT make a remote start for Navigation equipped 2014 IS250/350 models. Period.
Can you install it, and make it work? Sure.. but it will cause communication issues with the safety connect and other systems.
Dealers figured out how to get it to register and work, and Lexus is shutting them down, telling them to NOT advertise RES for nav-equipped IS's.
Buy at your own risk...
And no, the techstream software and cable you get off Amazon will NOT program this to your car. That kit is what is considered "Techstream Lite", which will not do reprogramming.

Lexus said it was for safety so someone couldn't jump in and steal your car. Obviously a great idea in say, California where you're about as likely to get car jacked as you are catching the flu but for most places it's a serious inconvenience. It seems it could be programmed to automatically shut the vehicle off if the FOB is over 100 feet away or something.

Talked to a guy that installs aftermarket RES (Viper) and he said Lexus & Toyotas will be like this even with aftermarket RES. He also couldn't tell me if Viper SmartStart was compatible with 3IS and said I would have to come in for him to test for compatibility.

He did say that you could get it to do a "keytake over" if you do it the old school way when Push to Start vehicles first came out by hiding one of the proximity key in the car in a box. (I.e. 1101T)

This will be what I will probably look into if I end up adding remote start to my car. I am an installer myself so I will be doing some more research on this before i tackle the install.

I'm going to wait until Viper figures out a way to set up the remote start without leaving a factory key in the car somewhere. They should be getting close now to figuring out a way.

Like I said, they are emulating as the factory Remote Start. They cannot do it the other way because the body ecus in the car are looking for the key transmitter for authentication to start the other way. This is how it is currently with all the other Lexus out in the market, i.e. 2014 GS350 if you look at the installation manual and what I confirmed talking over with my friend at Directed Electronics, so this will probably be the same case when they look over the 2014 ISx50. In fact I am thinking that their current interface module and firmware for the GS may work for our IS. I starting going through the install manual for the GS and seeing if the connector and wires are there in same location for our IS but just haven't had time to finish looking for everything.

For the remote starter system specific to the 2014 IS, with navigation the installation is as simple as the alternative remote start offered for the 2014 IS without navigation. The only change in installation is during the Tech Stream process ensuring the customized settings are switched on for the remote starting.
Should your local dealer not be able to understand or be willing to attempt the installation then we're afraid to state you'll be required to return the part to us for a refund.

Well this sounds so simple so what is the deal with Lexus not wanting dealers to do this. Does it break something by doing this? Safety Connect?

master lexus tech/moderator is stating exactly why its not recommended to install factory remstart and people keep still asking the same question.
Stop asking the same questions
