Default RES+ available for IS?

Just noticed this icon when logged into my My Lexus page and clicked on it to investigate. For those who don't know, it basically allows you to use your phone to be a remote engine starter and to lock/unlock your doors from where ever you are, among a few other things.

Simply put, I want.

However, I can't seem to find if it's available for the IS. Sewell lists it for other Lexus models, but when I peruse the IS goodies, I don't see it there. Anybody know?

Pretty sure it's not. It's shows up on all models when you log in. It is still only available for the RX. I heard it sucks though. A few people actually uninstalled it and got refunds. The servers are down half the time and it takes an average 30-90 seconds to start it. If it does start. There was a recent survey stating that Lexus is showing interest in expanding their remote start capabilities so let's hope we'll see something within the next year, or four....

We do get the remote start for 2014 IS, but you have to install it from the dealer :O

Yea you can get the standard remote start (RES). I'm talking about RES+ which allows you to use your phone to start the car.

We just ran into this trying to install RES + on a 2013 ES 350. When you sign up on the app, it asks you to select your model. it only lists 2010-2014 RX350, 2010-2014 RX450h, and 2014 ES350. It does not list any IS models. I wish they would put this stuff in print in a spot that's easy to find.
