Default Remote start Encore app using iPhone

Does anyone have this and does it work well ? Can't access the app part on Australian App Store... says it's only available the US App Store . I can access that but not sure if the car shipped to Australia will have the software installed and Lexus dealer can't enlighten me

Lexus Enform is required and if Australia does not have, it will not work.

If the car is being shipped to Australia you should have Enform built in, make sure you get an email from the dealer with instructions on how to register your vehicle with the app.

I've used it multiple times for lock/unlock/ignition start, there's a slight delay but it's a pretty neat feature. Ignition start will only stay activated for 10 minutes, if you don't make it to your vehicle within 10 minutes it will automatically shut off.

Lexus Enform is built into the car however that part of the app that controls removed start is not included even if I download the app from the American site the car won't be able to register a Lexus tell me

Interesting, so the ignition on/off is the only feature that won't work?

You might get the key fob to start the vehicle, but Enformdoes not work in Australia.
