I believe it is LOCK, UNLOCK, and START/STOP Engine. The pictures above are in the VEHICLE STATUS Button, and under the Guest Driver you can set up alerts if you loan your vehicle to you kids or friend and you want to get alerts if they are driving over a certain speed etc. The VEHICLE FINDER button lets you see where your vehicle is on a map.
If you remote start - when you open the door, the engine cuts off. Kinda a bummer. My 14 Jeep Grand Cherokee had remote start (with Key Fob) and when you got in you just stepped on the break and hit the engine start button and off you go (the engine never cut off like on the NX).
Here are the specs from the Lexus.com NX Technology Page
My car should be here by next Tuesday. So at this time I do not have the app.
But the question is, since my car has NAV, I have to purchase the remote starter and install it, to use the Remote Start app [dumb question] or the car comes with the remote starter and to use it I have to download the app and start using it?

Thanks.
No, I believe if the car has NAV then the service/hardware is built in, you just have to call and have it activated.
Good luck with it, I got my NX on December 29th and the remote start still does not work. For the most part Lexus support is terrible when it comes to this application.
The only issue has been getting the app to work, which has been annoying.
Hopefully I am not repeating something already said, but I got an ENFORM Brochure when I left the dealer. It said to log on and activate the ENFORM App suite and ENFORMRemote feature, and that if there were any problems then to press and hold the SOS button and talk to an adviser. I did the online thing the day I brought it home, didn't activate for some reason, so I pressed the SOS button and they made everything work within a few minutes.
I have the Lexus Enform Remote and I have an Nxt. Setup was pretty simple. I was waiting to fill out some paperwork last week at the dealership and so they informed me that I can register for an account (you must have a lexusdrivers.com account to use it) and so I did it then. During the delivery, the technician was able to help me get everything set up. We scanned the VIN number right from my phone and it was a pretty smooth and simple process.
I've had my vehicle for a week now but have probably used the remote start about 3-4 times. I remote start the engine before I log off from work for the day and head home. The first few times, it has worked great, but lately, it seems to take a few tries to get it to start. Each day, it seems to take more and more attempts. Yesterday, it took me like 3 times to get it to run. Today, I attempted 4-5 tries and it all failed so I gave up. I looked at my phone and I have perfect signal and 3G signal clearly showing so not sure what's going on. I get a message that the start up was unsuccessful. They also send an email alert... the email I get said this:
"The request to start the engine of your vehicle, 'NX 200t 5 Door SU', made on 01/14/15 at 05:12 PM Eastern Time was unsuccessful. Please try again. If you see this message repeatedly, please contact your dealer.

Could it be where you are parking rather than where you are with your phone? Are you in a covered garage, or possibly in a bad signal area? Do you get good signal on your phone when you are parked in your car?
I don't know if it uses cell service or satellite for this, so either one could be the issue if you are just in a dead zone for that coverage.
