Default Enform Remote Start

Still getting to know the new ride.

Question about the Remote start on the Enform app...It works fine to start the car, but anytime I open the door it turns the car off. I had remote start on a previous Infiniti and it would stay on as long as the key fob was present and you hit the 'Start' button before trying to drive.

Am I missing something? Is this a 'security feature' where they did not chose to integrate this with the key fob security?

Thanks

I have smartstart on my 08 car. The engine cuts off when i open the door. Installer said it was some sort of safety issue.

Unfortunately this is just how the Lexus remote start system works. Its annoying, but it is what it is.

A little lame, but guess it is offset by the fact that I can start it from pretty much anywhere.

Thanks.

My Jeep had the same app, and the engine kept running when you opened the door
