The motor stopping when the door is opened is the way it is surposed to work.

Thanks for the heads up-2015 included? I really have no reason to use remote start if it dies when the door opens- kind of defeats the point when I have to start it again.

I have family in Wisconsin and you will never say it is not of any use when it is 30 below and you can get into a 75 degree vehicle and only have to restart the vehicle.
Have it it your way.

it is the way it works. Lexus does this as a safety feature to make sure the FOB is available to restart and allow the vehicle to move. No way around this. I have never used the remote start as there is little use for it in Florida.

Totally get it just funny we have to kill the vehicle to restart it. Here in Colorado its "illegal" to start the vehicle to warm it up/cool it off etc so I would NEVER do that HAHA
Thanks again for clarifying

Got it to Work!
2015 LX; No enform subscription.
Read through all of the posts regarding Remote Start.
Thank you, all: extremely helpful posts.
I locked the doors with the key fob.
Quickly pressed LOCK - LOCK - then pressed & held LOCK for about 6 seconds.
Nothing happened (that I could see) for the 6 seconds; then the lights on the side mirrors flashed & the engine started!
As soon as I opened the door, the engine stopped (as noted in several of the above posts).
It's hot here in AZ; very nice to be able to start the car (AC on) a while before getting in!
Thanks, everyone, this was a successful thread.

My wife's RX has the factory remote; it sucks. Had a Viper RES installed, range is so much better, was half ($300) of what I paid for the factory start. In the Northeast when one of the cars is parked outside RES is a must.

Mine is a 2011, so it may be too old to compare. (Enform is not in my vehicle. I have an SOS button.)
I do have a small white tag on my keys with the same instructions for remote starting. I found that it takes longer than 3 seconds to initiate the remote start on the third press of the button. I hit lock, pause, lock, pause, and hold lock for 5 seconds. It doesn't always work on the first try, but I've always been successful.

Hello, do you know if it was standard on the 2011 model? I was looking at one today and tried the lock, lock within two seconds and then hold lock for more than 3 seconds (probably as long as 5) but no luck. The manual didn't have ANY information on remote start so thought it might not be a standard feature.
