Default Lexus Enform... love it, hate it or indifferent?

So this is me:


What do you guys like about Enform? Did you get a subscription? Which services do you use?

I've found the doors open alert useful when I forget to lock... happened a total of 3 times this past year. Never used the remote start or destination assist.

How can you not use the remote start ? lol very useful even in warm weather states. I wish I had the option. Unfortunately I got stuck with ‘14 gs where remote start isn't offered, which would be nice for the cold winter coming up.

But would you pay $8 a month for that feature?

I pay $8/month for remote start. But I use it multiple times each day so it’s worth it, imo.

These cars should have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
I will probably install one of the interfaces.

@chinee I am also in South FL and the only feature I ever used was the remote start, when I remembered it was there..lol I went back and forth when my subscription was about to end whether or not it would be worth the cost. I think it was $16 to have the remote start feature as it was not offered in the $8 package. In the end I decided to not renew. Have I missed having the remote start "NO"

Used it once when I took delivery. Never touched it again. My 2013 doesn't have remote start.

I've lived in upstate NY and boy would remote start have been useful during the winter. I moved back to southern California so it's not as useful to me now, but for those with real winters, it might be worth it... I've not used enform because our 2016 CPO didn't come with a trial or anything

i think for $8 it would be pretty worth it. I've been toying with the idea of signing up but for a netflix subscription a month i dont see why not.

I use remote start constantly to warm up the engine before leaving. i have a bit of a walk from my condo to my garage space. Also it saved me quite a few bucks when my wife left her keys in the lexus and i took the honda :/, remote unlock for the win!
