First, assuming the Enform app hasn't signed itself out so I cant even use it because even lastpass on my iPhone X won;t store the GD password, and no i haven't memorized it! News flash you Toyota F's even my damn bank doesn't sign me out of my app when it updates!!

So, assuming the thing even works - I need to build about 5 minutes into remembering to hit remote start when I need it because - As most of you know, the app is pure crap and its lags and NAGS etc make remote start a painful act I mostly choose not worth my time I will be stepping into my over priced Toyota long before the RS engages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For reference my wifes 2017 has a fast responding starter app that was - Gasp free!

Further, I signed on for the Lexus Advisory board and I just received a long questionnaire solely focused on what I would and would not be willing to pay for in services.

Obviously No ONE was willing to pay for the service reminder etc. crap - So they made those free for 2018 and changed the renewal fee for the start to $80.00 per year!

Lexus, I would prefer you give the customer $300.00 credit at purchase so we can go buy an aftermarket RS that actually starts my car without a drawn out Lawyer induced questionnaire every time I start my car! Oh, and it can be programmed so the damn car doesn't shut off for the lawyers when I open the door!

I'm kinda pissed about this petty money grab. I hope that 160.00 you lost from me, you can make up on another new customer!

Other grips? The "APPS" crap that is not even usable - I see they're finally going to relent on Apple and Android Car play though.
