Default Any solutions to improving the factory remote start?

Our only complaints are that you need to be right next to the car to get it to start and once you open a door or unlock the vehicle (touch the handle) it dies. Pretty much worthless to me but a $500 gold mine to Lexus.

I'm exaggerating a "little" about being right next to it but its pretty darn close.

Any factory computer updates?


Thanks,

I was under the impression there was a enform remote smartphone app for this. Is that this not the case?

There is RES on the key fob and RES+ that is the app. Different animals.

It was the biggest waste of $600. I should have had Lexus take it out of the car and bought a Viper. Hated to have two remotes (My wife's RX is a 2012 so no cell phone app available) but looking back I wish I did.

Hate that it shuts off too-my Inifiniti has remote start, no need to restart when I get in the car.
