great thread. I'm still confused about the 2016s though - will it still work if we let our free trial of enform connect/remote expire?
I assume the range of the fob is no more than maybe, 40 feet?
No, for the 2016 ES, the remote start will not work without an active paid Enform subscription. That has been confirmed, not only by Lexus, but also from multiple owners of the 2016 ES. Not only does the phone app not work, but the key fob remote starter also will not work without an active Enform subscription.
On my 2013 ES, I have the older remote start system, which works only with the key fob (and which does not require an active Enform subscription). I find that the range of that system is around 100 feet if there are no obstructions between me and the vehicle.
