Hello, I bought a new 2024 LC 500. I am writing about a problem I am facing. My car's engine cannot be started via the remote control. And the red alarm button is missing from both remotes. Is this problem caused by installing the wrong key in the vehicle or is it due to a defect in the vehicle? If I replace the keys with the model with a red alarm button, will the problem go away? Thank you from now

 

What kind of LC you bought? Lol
Panic button should be on the remote. This is true for all the Lexuses I’ve own since 2011.
Can you remote start the car with the Lexus app?

 

It is not available in any of the models in Turkey. There isn't even an app lol. If I order a remote control with a red alarm, will the remote start work?

 

No. It won’t.
The remote is not able to start the car. It’s a subscription based service where you either have to call Lexus to start the car or you do it on the app. Again, this is subscription based and in the US, Remote Connect is free for the first 3 years of purchase(new). After, it’s either $10 or $20 a month.

 

Also, the car engine stop as soon as you open the door and you have to restart the engine.

 

 

The remote does start the car but only so long as you maintain the remote connect subscription, supposedly.

The remote connect subscription on my Toyota sienna ended years ago but I am still able to use the fob to remote start it. Hopefully same is true for the Lexus.

 

Okay. I stand corrected. Ignore what I said.

 

This is what I wanted to do. But in Turkey, Lexus does not have an application that I can subscribe to.

 

Does anyone know why my remote control doesn't do this?

 

Because you need the subscription to turn on.

 

 

Try pressing the lock button quickly 3 times and then holding the lock button... that's how I start mine because I am too lazy to pull out my phone. I only use my phone when I am away from the house because I don't use the remote when driving .. I use the credit card key.
