I don't think the Enform app is available to us in Canada... I could be wrong.. But I don't think it is... and the OP is from Alberta...

Guys, on the 2015 model (even without lexus enform app) the car has a remote starter. Just hit the lock part on your key fob 3 quick times and on the third time hold it down until the car starts

Have you tried that after your enform sub expired? I've read somewhere that even the key fob trick stops working after enform sub expires.

Not all of them have it. The key fob remote start is a dealer-installed option for 2015 at least in Canada.

I'm just wondering what the quality of the remote starters from Lexus is.
When I got my 2015 in July, it was $600 for the remote starter. The remote starter is okay, but the range on the key fob sucks. The nice thing is that it integrates with the car's hardware/software well.

I would back off from the deal entirely. If they giving you BS about a remote starter, who knows what else they are hiding. There are plenty of good dealers out there. I'd say simply walk away from the deal. Tell them you had a change of heart and you always like to do business with honest people.
Just my two cents..

Sorry to hear about your troubles.

I texted my lawyer buddy with this "hypothetical". All he said was "I wish someone would try that".
So I would think you have the position of strength here.
