Remote "Start", with Original SmartKey-FOB
I did a search on this and came up with a bunch of different scenarios, but no results yet.
"Simply" are there any updates on getting remote "start" on the IS-X50 using only the factory Smart-key. (I.e. NOT adding a 2nd key-fob.)

Thanks

someone already figured it out... he lives in jersey... bit far from the OC... i think he's charging people to do it... and from what i understand... there's cutting and rewiring of wires. he got it to start but is trying to figure out how to shut it off from what i remember

how will you know with the factory key fob if you have started or turned off the car. the aftermrket ones show or give you some kind of indication that you have started or turned off the car and they have a timer to shut off if you forget!!! that is great that someone has figured this out and i am waiting for the fix to this solution. can someone figure out how we can get our hands on that remote that they show on the Lexus Parts??? between both i am sure we will have a bunch of happy people here!!!!

It shuts it-self off in 15 minutes and the doors have to be locked in order for the remote start. Also, nothing but the preset AC/Heating and seat heaters work until you actually put the key in the ignition. You can't shift it, nothing.

Why would you want to shut the engine off remotely? Makes more sense that once you parked your car, you'd turn it off. Getting out of the car and using the remote is wrong!
