How much and only on the 13+ right

 

What does it cost?

 

Subscription is $65/year. I don't know what the in car device will cost, but i would be surprised if it was cheaper than the current $400+ remote starter. Seems like a good option for people that use a remote starter. I don't need remote starter in my climate. Locking/unlocking doors seems like a small or no advantage for me, but others may find it very useful. The GPS car locator is a cool feature, but I can't ever remember not being able to find my car.

Now if it was setup so I would not have to carry my key at all, that might be attractive.

 

I want this on the '13 RX350 I just ordered, but dealer can't find a part number. I certainly don't want them to install the standard remote start if it is different from this.

Anyone find a part number for the "RES+ accessory"?

 

It doesnt say anything about what years are compatible

 

If you click on the models mentioned on the compatibility page, it takes you to the 2013 model year. Although I can't imagine stepping back a model year or two would be that difficult for Lexus.

A pro about this is it's now covered by Lexus warranty and Lexus fob will work too.
A con (I think) is no text alerts from the factory alarm system.
A neutral is the price, it's inline with after market systems and subscriptions.

 

It is not available until sometime in 2013. But, will be offered on the RX at that time.

 

Part #PT398-48132, available for RX this month.

If only it could be added to an '11 RX 450h.... :-/

 

I heard there will be kits for more vehicles made available later, I believe the older RX models were included.

 

That would be great... Certainly something I would consider adding!

 

What a great step forward over the existing remote start ... the price seems good also in comparison.
