Thank you for this! I tried the instructions for the "Remote Starting the Car with the Key Fob" and it didn't work on my RC. Anyone else get it to work?

Before the remote start with the Key Fob will work you need to make sure Lexus Enform Remote is setup and working on your car and smart phone. After that it should work.

Hmmm...Everything on my Lexus Enform Remote and car is set up on my Galaxy S5. I remember I hit the SOS button and they walked me through it. I just tried again, and no luck. Not sure why or why not

The cadence of the lock button pushes is pretty important, press the lock button three (3) times
quite quickly and hold the final 3rd press. Watch for the various marker lights to begin flashing
and you can release the lock button. The car will start within 5 seconds. Note: whether you use
the fob ('80 range/5 second response) or the App ( infinite range/30 second response) the car will
shut off when you touch/unlock and open the door.

Thanks MCOMER for pointing out that the sequence and timing of pushing the buttons is critical to make it work correctly. Range also plays an important part of it as the best I could do was about 100 feet, but most of the time it is about 75 ft. or less.

Now if you really want a cool feature you can use the Key Fob to open the sun roof and windows, but you need the CARISTA Pro App or get the dealer to program it for you. This is one of those things that is on the list of customizations for your vehicle.

Okay! I will play around with the sequence and timing of pushing the buttons. Thank you, I appreciate it.
