Some of us are required to have Safety connect for remote to work, in my case, it was 160$

All 2015s have it.

What you have to do to activate it is to load the Lexus Enform Remote app, and pay the subscription fee to enable it.

+1 on this. Usually youll have to press the SOS button to activate. Enform is a PITA to activate but its so worth it.

Nope. Probably a good idea to NOT talk about that on this forum, there is a forum policy specifically against talking of hacks and free softwares that usually cost money.

This is what I am doing. Subscribing monthly for the 3-4 winter months here in PA, then cancelling the subscription = $64/year for remote start in the winter. And maybe in July/August I'll subscribe again for cooling, who knows.

Thanks all. I do use the key fob (well key brick--why does it need to be so big?) but we shouldn't have to. It is a shame that Lexus doesn't fix poor software that is really below the level of a low end Chevy.

Sometimes the fob works, sometimes not. I guess I need to talk to Lexus maintenance next time I am there.

Right...I find this traditional method easier instead of waiting for the app to respond. Not sure if this method will work without the remote subscription though.
