Does anyone know if RES+ is available on the IS350 F?

I take delivery in two weeks and want to know so the dealer can install it right away, but they have no idea as to what I am talking about. And one sales guy said yes absolutely but I think he too had no idea as to what I was talking about.

For people on here that don't know what RES+ is... It is a remote start for the car but you use it via your iPhone.

Don't believe so, I know only the RX works with it. I think they are planning to add this later.

Wondering the same thing as the OP... I was also hoping to get RES+ installed on my special order IS350 after delivery.

Please keep us updated OP, if the dealer is actually able to install it.

You'd think their website would list compatible Lexus models...

Talk to the dealership about RES+ and they hardly even sell them on the RX's.... I guess that would make it even more difficult for Lexus to make it available to other models.

RES+ is available to any Lexus (newer than 2006 I think) and can be installed at any time you want . Of course the cost is on you.
Try the vehicle compatibility app.

I decided to talk to the parts manager and he said that he heard some buzz about it becoming available to more models but no official word yet.

That link is just to see if your phone is compatible with Enform and the car bluetooth system.

The 4GS group has been trying to get this, with no luck. Someone said that it was in works to come to other cars but no update yet. Here is a link from Sewell site for the item.

The link is from FAQ section. It make you select the vehicle and after the phone... It's not just the phone.
Which vehicles are compatible with Lexus RES+?

Please see vehicle compatibility list.

I paid a couple of thousand of dollars for the RES in my old RX350. Nice system. But no theres no need to put RES in the back of your car. The cost is too high. And it only works on one car.

For the half the price you can get a couple of 64K WIFI iPads. And use them to any car you have. Or take them out and use any where else you want to go.

I know but when you click on it it only brings you to the Bluetooth compatibility nothing else its mostly checking to see if your phone works with Enform and the other technologies with the navigation not the RES+ it even says that at the top. "To ensure you're enjoying all the convenience of your vehicle's Bluetooth® [1] technology and available Lexus Enform® [2] [3] system, use the tool below to check for mobile phone compatibility and view corresponding instructions."

ISFWes - Can you explain this a bit more? How can I get an iPad to do the same thing as RES+?

I assume that as long as the car is listed there and the phone is compatible will work. I see no reason why would not. If the dealer told you that can be installed it can. There are so many products on the market that does that right now .
