Remote engine starter
i didnt see any threads on this.
does anyone here have this option? does the engine turn off when you open the doors? the 4runner remote engine starter shuts off the engine when you open the door. stupidist thing ive ever seen. hoping the lexus does not.

It is a safety feature, preventing others get into the car and drive off~

Actually I find this annoying that is shuts off when I am openning the door. When you use the remote starter, doors are locked until you come to the car with a remore control so nobody can get in anyway. Is there a way to disable automatic power off. I have not seen anything in the car computer.

It is fine for me, since it will be very hot when I need to use the remote start, that means parking at the lot with my sun shade on the windshield, so getting into the car and press the button is not that much work for me while removing the shade.
However, I rarely use the remote start because the range is so short, I usually just go and get into the car and drive, it is worst to wait outside and let the A/C cool down the car first

Remote Start
Has anyone bought the Remote Start kit from Sewell or other and had it installed by a Dealer ??
I installed the kit, but the process failed and it needed a Lexus Computer to finish the installation. I was charged $125 to perform the Communication Procedure. I am curious what the charge would have been if I had taken the kit to the dealer and had them install it.

remote start
Prior to my new Lxus car I had a Lincoln MKZ with remote start. The Lincoln had the same issue: the motor turned off when the door was opened. I did not like that and Lincoln reprogrammed the computer to avoid this 'feature' to act in this way. I was much happier after that. I am sure Lexus can offer the same to their customers. Anyway, that should be a customer preference.
