I had the Viper 5901 in my STI and it worked great. I don't know if the actual remote start range was a mile or not though since I never actually measured it.

the thing is what some people dont understand in this thread, the lexus IS has a push button start. and a diff push button start than some of these newer lexus'. Lexus actually offers a remote start for push button at the dealership but the ISF is not listed as a car that is compatible.

you have to bypass all of this, tricking the car to start and not lock yourself out or something. ive went to the best alarm installers around here and for what i have to pay and all of the stuff they have to do, it wasn't worth it. unless some one has a good way without losing any important function, its not worth it IMO.

having to using the oem fob to unluck the car first then using the new fob to start the car, that is too many steps/work . or having the car shut off on you because it doesn't recognize the oem key fob is with you.

I actually wanted to do this, but the only way I would is if it was an oem option that you would use the oem fob to start it. Otherwise it's not worth having a second fob, especially with push to start.

I know someone that has a car starter that works off your IPhone that he started up in R. I. While vacationing in Greece. I think it's $699.00 installed!

This is the route I was going to go. Its made by Viper which is DEI. I used to sell in car audio for circuit city. DEI is the best made quality and customer service. Little more expensive but has warranty as well.

Its called smart start http://www.viper.com/SmartStart/ The only thing is once you get it installed you pay a monthly fee for the service to use the satellite. The cool thing about this is that you dont have an extra remote, you don't have to cut car off then back on again and it works from anywhere so signal to car is not an issue.

I have viper on my is300 and it works great. I love remote start especially on hot days and cols ones as well. I would recommended this to anyone I just don't want to give up my is f key with roll down windows, and the fact that it is just a fob in my pocket.

I feel smart start is best bet.
