2015 GS350 Remote Start
There's another feature of the 2015 GS350 on which the Owners Manual appears to be completely silent - built in remote start using the key fob. I know that one can start the car remotely using the Enform app, however, how does one do so using the key fob? How do I know if this feature is available on my vehicle and how do I use it? Is this feature in some way at all tied in to a subscription to Enform?

Hello Nimimi, the remote start from the key fob is an accessory. If the accessory was installed it would be listed on your Monroney Label. We hope this information helps ~Sean P., Lexus Customer Satisfaction

There is no remote start option or accessory listed on the Lexus web site for a GS350. One of the features on the web site listed as STANDARD on all 350 models is "The SmartAccess* key fob lets you lock and unlock your doors, open the trunk and start the ignition—all without having to take your keys out of your pocket or purse."
So, the question remains: this is not an optional accessory that may be purchased but is a STANDARD feature of the SmartAccess key fob. Since the Owners Manual says absolutely nothing about this feature, how do I start my car using the key fob?

the 2015 GS comes standard with the ENFORM REMOTE START ..it is on the window sticker
once activated on your iphone or android, a 1 year trial comes with the car....can be used by the phone app OR by pressing and releasing the LOCK button on the key fob 3 times with the 3rd time holding it for 3 seconds till the lights flash, and the car will start!

Thanks for the confirmation of what one of the members said. Does that mean that after the one year's free ENFORM subscription ends, the remote start using the key fob will no longer function either?

correct, unless a subscription is active, the remote start will not work at all

It would be really great if the lazy Developers at Lexus came out with a solution for the remote start preventing the car from shutting down after any door is open. Basic stuff already possible by all aftermarket remote start systems. If it requires additional hardware added to the vehicle so be it I have no issue with that. Very annoying when you remote start your car then it shuts down as soon as you open a door. Regardless of the idea behind it we should have choice specially when we are paying this kind of money for a vehicle. It's possible, get it done!
