Lexus enform- remote start question
so from the Enform remote app, ive tried to start the car, and it works, but when i open the doors, it shuts off. this has happened multiple times, am i doing something wrong?

It does turn off as a security feature but the remote start is a great feature. If you have the ventilated seats on when you turn off the car, it'll be back on when you remote start it so it doesn't feel like you're sitting in lava when you return to your car in the summer.
I do agree with Anthony that it should remain on if it detects the key in the unlock radius of the car door.

Im assuming the second part your asking is what happens if you start the car and take the key out? Probably nothing will happen and you still drive otherwise the first part would be counter intuitive.

yup i checked with a dealer once it is on, and you leave( with the key) and its still on anybody can just drive off, It will stay on until you turn it off then it will need a key again, Its a security feature but they should of engineered the key communication better where you can keep it on and it will turn off if moved out of park without the key.

Like the OP, I thought something was wrong. Seems to me that all of the extra engine start and stops would have an impact in the long-term.

Its great for warming up the car. Since it takes the past climate control settings and I know I need to defrost the windows every morning in the winter, i leave the features on and when I start the car using the remote, it can defrost by the time I'm walking out the door.

This pissed me off so bad. You can cut it any way you want but it's useless as a remote start. Your car both heats up and cools off much quicker by driving the car though I can see how some use it for that as well.. a remote start that you have to restart isn't a remote start because you have to restart it right?Gmc and Chevy do not have this feature. And you can reprogram fords to not shut off as they shut off by default too.
I would pay lexus for the suite package that has enform if someone could figure out to have the engine not shut off.
I hated my mustang remote start until I found out how to reprogram it. I used it all the time when it didn't shut off after opening the door.
***end rant.
I do like if I forgot where the heck I parked to use the gps, and you can monitor "guests" driving if someone else is in your car etc. that part of the app is cool.
As a remote start : broken.
As a heat and cool your car off feature: sure though it won't and don't use it for that.
