Here is the response I received from Lexus about status:

Pretty generic.....

Every e-mail reply I have ever received from Lexus has been completely devoid of any useful information.

Just had RES+ installed ($850 + tax). The system works fine but the delay to execute a command is much longer than I expected (20-30 seconds). RES+ has its own GPS antenna mounted on a windshield which cannot get a signal in a covered parking lot (car parked with its back to a window) while navigation system and my phone can get GPS location. I think it also has its own temperature sensor as the temperature RES+ is reporting is slightly different from the one displayed in the car, don't understand why they didn't include in-cabin temperature sensor, it could be embedded into one of the RES+ antennas mounted on the windshield.

Having to enter 8-symbol mixed case password every time I use the app is really annoying, I think PIN code would be enough until you quit the app. First you have to enter password to get into the app, then a PIN to execute some commands.

The good thing is that RES+ includes regular key fob starter as well so if I'm in the line of sight of the vehicle, I can start it without a delay and if I'm away, a 30 sec delay is not a big deal. Considering the price difference between regular Lexus key fob starter and RES+ I think it's definitely worth it.

Did you have it installed on an RX or GS?

Yeah, thats not acceptable to have antennas like that exposed on the window. Hopefully they refine it if they expect many sales.
