2018 NX - remote starter ?
Hi All
Anyone with a 2018 can confirm (especially from Canada) if there is a remote starter that comes with it (or available as an option like the 2017) ? Looking to buy a 2018 F-Sport Series 3 and while doing a road test of a 2017 (before the 2018 hit the dealer’s yard last September) was surprise to learn that they come in as an option AND a second remote !! Really Lexus ? A second remote...? in 2017 ? I own a 2015 Murano and a 2011 Edge and they both came with the remote starter embedded in the regular remote 2 and 7 years ago ... Thanks |
In the US remote start comes as part of Enform. My 2018 has it through the app on the phone

As trailhiker said, this is accessed in the Enform App, which also includes a lot more useful items:
-- door lock/unlock -- current fuel level -- distance/miles to empty -- vehicle location (displayed on a map) -- driver profile settings (can restrict times of day vehicle can drive, max speed, etc). See attached pic of the Enform app home screen. |
good thing for 2018, I think it comes with 10 years of safety connect, so adding the remote option is cheaper per month:

Thanks - Downloaded the app but if I select my region (Canada) versus the USA region, the Lexus Apps option (button) dissapear from the bottom bar removing the remote start option letting me believe it’s not available out here ... Any fellow Canadians that can confirm is remote is available in Canada ? |
can you try the remote start with the keyfob method?

Hmm, I switched the locale on my phone to CA and the "Lexus Apps" button did disappear. Out of curiosity, did you try to search for "Lexus Enform Remote" in the app store as well? It is a separate app. If not, can you install the app, by switching locals or installing it directly? Is there an option to add "Remote" in the "Manage Lexus Enform" area of the Lexus Drivers website for you? It is a service which needs to be activated.
It is interesting that the article on lexus.ca only lists "Safety Connect, App Suite 2.0 and Destination Assist." http://www.lexus.ca/lexus/en/about/lexus-enform |

At least for the 2015-2017, they’ve listed a remote start option with a additionnal keyfob ... Lexus, please don’t make it a show stopper... |
I'd be curious to know if the car has everything needed. It might have the software and hardware, but has simply not been released for some reason. I wonder if setting it up via a US account would allow it to work.
Good luck. |

Try pressing the unlock button 3 times on the third press hold it until you see 3 blinks of the lights then release

what's nice about the '18 is Safety Connect and Service Connect are free for 10 years, while remote start and destination assist are only $8 a month after the first year.
Also App Suite 2.0 is very important for the 18. It connects/sets up your wifi and guides you through getting the other needed apps. |
Lexus Canada has confirmed there will be no remote starter available for the 2018 NX this year. A new kit is being built at the moment and the earliest they expect it to arrive is fall of 2018.
