not sure the location in techstream you went, but the options look different then where they were posted earlier, folding mirrors and things like that from the screen shots. it could also be the remote start hardware is missing vs disabled.
I don't have my adapter yet, i ordered the wifi-version-vxdiag-vcx-nano but have not played with the techstream software yet.

@vic170say, can you share in techstream, how you got to that option screen with the remote start ??
thanks so much

its the same screen JS, look at the title of that window, "customize S601-06"

Canadian RX's might be set up is different than the American ones (probably because of enform). Also, I'm using techstream 15.00.26 (maybe newer?)

Has anyone else been able to turn on remote start on a U.S. delivered 2017 RX 350 with no subscriptions?

I cannot find it and I added the beta. I am in Canada, so maybe it will not show up.

Canadian RX may be different as Badhobz mention he couldnt see the same options as JSracer in techstream.

Im sure Badhobz didn’t see the option because he didn’t start the vehicle. The vehicle must be running to see that option.

even after turning “ON” that option, I still CAN’T start the engine with the key fob. The remote start with the key fob works fine with the subscription. As soon as I canceled the subscription, it stopped working.
