One can also start their 4RX with their voice using an Apple Watch with the Enform Remote app installed. As well as lock/unlock doors, check status information, and find the vehicle’s location on Apple maps.

One thing I already don't like about this feature: the doors have to be locked for the car to start.
Scenario: I'm upstairs getting ready and I decide I want to preheat the car. I ask Alexa to start the car but it doesn't work because I didn't lock the doors when I got out the night before. I parked in the garage so I had no reason to lock the doors.
Why can't Lexus lock the doors as part of the process of remote starting the car? If I have to ask Alexa to lock the doors before I ask her to start it, it kinda becomes not that convenient anymore. Especially when she doesn't even bother to tell you the car didn't start because the doors are unlocked.
At the very least she should say I couldn't initiate remote start because the doors are unlocked, would you like me to lock and start?

I would wonder why you'd be interested but OK.... It got down to 17 degrees here last night and was in the low 40's in the garage. I have remote start so why get into a car that is not warmed up? Before I get out the night before I put the heater on high and the seat warmer on high(and now lock it) . Very cozy when I get in. I hope you no longer wonder about it.
