LOL!

Might be required for some but mine activated parked in the garage with the engine turned off.

Same here but I used the Android app.
Seems that this car's cell is always on.
I wonder what the power draw is if I do long term parking?

I guess it depends on what "long term" is. I would say a month is good but over that . . ..

RCF Owner - mine took about 5 minutes - no car running, iPhone 6- as soon as I restarted the app on the iPhone it went from pending to active. I do have issues with starting though - seems to only work half the time - anyone else have any issues ? Anyone know what mobile carrier network it's using?

I activated it at 11 PM Pacific and it wasn't active until the next day at 5 PM. I had no idea the first year was free until i read about it on these forums.

I activate enform remotes for people everyday. its weird. it can take 3 minutes or two days. each time is slightly different. the typical procedure is 2, 15 min ignition cycles and it should work fine. ive been keeping track of this actually and its interesting to hear others takes on it

Default Problems with Lexus Enform Remote App

Have anyone has issues where the Enform Remote app get stuck with vehicle pending during the registration and activation process? This going on for weeks already and the technicians don't have a clue how to fix it. I have a 2017 RX350

Yup - happened to me in April and it took multiple calls and re-registering car to finally go live. Problem was pervasive but I thought fixed. Lexus fully aware of the issue - you need to go to another level of call in support. Because of the problem Lexus extended the Enform Remote subscription for an additional year.

This is my 4th call to the number listed in the contact field of the remote app. Resend registration, wait 48 hours, repeat. Pending

Are you using a corporate e-mail address or a "civilian" address?
Strongly recommend using a regular address rather than your work e-mail
because some company sites block and filter incoming messages.
Another hitch in the process involves those that still use AOL.COM as an
e-mail server. Supposedly fixed but it was a no go for quite awhile.

When Lexus changed their software for Enform Remote earlier in 2017, many people experienced problems using the Enform Remote app. The fix seems to be that Lexus needs to do reset your account registration from their end, but phone support people don't seem to be able to do what needs to be done.

After experiencing the same frustrations that others have expressed, I eventually called the tech specialist at a Lexus dealership, and he used the direct contacts available to him to the people who know how to fix the problem, and, within 24 hours, that got the app working properly. Thus, my suggestion would be to contact the dealer's tech specialist and to let him/her work on getting things fixed.

Also note that, once it is fixed, you should be able to get your Enform Remote subscription extended by a full year. Some have been offered the extension without having to request it. Others have gotten the extension only after requesting it.

When I opened my Enform app this am, a statement came up saying that the registration function was under maintenance.

I thought they fixed fixed this long ago!

all other functions work perfectly.
