I have. 2008 ES 350. Would like to leave car running with air on at times while I buy groceries. ( to keep dog cool). I haven't found a way to do this yet. Is it possible??

Maybe with the lexus personalized settings. You used to have to get changes made (unlock beeping noise, seat belt alarm, etc.) at the dealer but now you can use an app and a Bluetooth adapter connected to your car.

Not possible.

Either a remote starter, or just leave the fob in the car. I read somewhere on the forum that you get out of the car with the window down, while it's running, leaving the fob in the glove box. You'll need to remove the metal key to avoid being locked out. Reach in and lock the doors with the door switch. Now, close the window with the auto up feature of the window switch.

Not the safest way to leave your car running, but it should do the trick.

Idling your car for extended periods of time is bad for the engine. It's also a waste of gas and bad on the environment. Have you considered getting a solar powered fan instead?

Some police departments will ticket you for this for reasons being that it is unsafe.

Yep, my aftermarket remote starter allows me to leave the car running without worrying about being stolen as the ignition will disengage if any door is opened without the key FOB being present. Be forewarned though; once I left my spare FOB in the car by mistake and then I could not get in until I removed the metal key as Mike728 mentions above.

With my 4GS, I can lock the car using the physical key in the door lock and walk away, fob and all. Have you tried that?

there is a way because I was doing it for a while all of a sudden when I try to run in the store quick and try to lock it with the key fob it just beeps
