Remote start with just the remote!!

Mike my 2018 takes a surprisingly long hold on that third press of the lock button -- like 15 seconds or more. Eventually the lights flash, and if I keep holding, the car starts. But it is way longer than you would expect. I have never paid a nickel for the Enform subscription so it expired a year after I bought the car.

Well I decided to check my 2018 RX and sure enough the remote start works even though I never renewed. I do have an active subscription tied to my LC500 but I don't see how that would make any difference. Wish I could give the function to one of you guys who wants it. I never use it.

2021 Lexus RX350 - remote start questions
I am a new Lexus owner and I have two questions. First question as I have read a few different answers to this, when the app expires will the key fob remote start still work? Also has anyone found that the key fob start will work and sometimes not? Sometimes it will start then sometimes the lights flash mirrors will fold in and not start. Not sure why thoughts?

Just purchased my 2017 RX350 'luxury'
By chance I triple clicked the lock button (i'm admitedly an over clicker) and the car started...no holding down the button. just 3 clicks and it beeps itself a 4th time and just starts...Like magic!
10 min then auto shuts off...
Also when you open the door the car shuts off.
Dealer never informed me of this feature. I contacted them and after review they confirmed the previous owner added factory remote start when purchased. (crazy they didn't inform me on sale)

I just got an email from Lexus Drivers, they say that the only way you can remote start your RX is to have a subscription to the Safety Connect (SOS). I do not have that and that's why it won't start with the remote. So the rest of you guys who do start with the remote, you have a subscription for Safety Connect.
Hope this clears things up.
