Is there any option to enable this?

Thank you!
Seems to me it either works or it just doesn't. My ES works every time. My wife's 2017 RX almost never and I don't even try anymore.

I can confirm to you that after the Enform subscription ends, that the remote start via key fob still works. I can remote start via key fob on my 2019 ES350 as well as my 2019 RX450hL -- both of which no longer have active subscriptions. I confirm this every morning, so it's not a fluke.

The RX almost NEVER works and I've stopped even trying. The ES on the other hand works EVERY time without fail.

Yes, my 2019 Lexus RX350 remote start via key fob works just fine after the subscription ended in June.

How long ago did your subscription expire?

Bought the car in September 2018 (2019 model), so it expired in late September of 2019 - it's been over a year since the subscription ended.

The complimentary subscription for my ES350 ended September 2019, the RX450hL subscription ended 5 months ago in June 2020. Both can still be remote started via key fob today. Just used it on the ES earlier today in fact.

Well, I did it on my previous 17 IS and now on 17 RC.

Both never had a subscription from the start Remote start via key fob works until this day on the RC.

My warranty is not up until 2023.....warranty claim?

Also,I thought I read it somewhere else that you can have the Lexus dealership turn on the remote start via the fob for $$$. Of course the remote via phone will not function.

It's already turned on. When you're within fob range of your car press the "lock" button three times, and on the third press hold it down. After a few seconds the lights will flash. Keep holding it down and the car will start.
