If you open any door, you have to press the brake and then the start button, as you normally would to start the car. This prevents anyone from driving away with your car when it's running. I agree that it would be more convenient to have it stay on if you have the key fob with you...
Nope--no go.

Alright guys ... I've got a base model and just tested it and it works!!! So Thanks Kang!

I just followed the steps but had to press and hold the 3rd time for around 8 seconds.

How did you get this info? Was it in the manual? Or got a tip from a SA? Or you just thought about it? 😉

I did, and nothing happened. If I am wrong and anyone with Canadian RX can, please let us know detailed steps .

-maybe this feature has to do with a Japanese verses Canada RX issue hmmm

EXP_Cougar All you need to shut it off is a single long press of the fob Lock button.
A single short Unlock press will also shut it off and if no doors are actually opened
the car will auto relock in (default) 60 seconds. Made this way so if you inadvertently
unlock without realizing it, it will relock.

So is the keyfob start option something you need to request or is this a standard feature? Is active Enform definitely required? I ask because I am having a custom ordered 2017 RX350 done and if I need to request something for this feature I want to do it now. Tried this on my 2011 RX450h and no go but I don't have active Enform.

My remote start also works with the fob. It states that on the website under key features and the section on technology . See below:

SMARTACCESS*

The SmartAccess key fob lets you lock and unlock your doors and start the push-button ignition—all without having to take your keys out of your pocket or purse. As soon as the sensors detect the presence of your SmartAccess key, the door unlocks when you touch a front-door handle.
