You must sign up for the Enform service in order to use the sophisticated remote starting features available on Lexus vehicles. New Lexus car buyers get a complimentary three-year Enform subscription. You must pay for various levels of Enform after this point or if you bought a secondhand Lexus without service.

The best approach to purchase a car is through the CoPilot app. We’ll show you all you need to know about each listing, including how long it’s been on the lot and whether or not there are comparable cars in the area for less money. We’re built using the same technologies that dealerships use.

How much is a subscription to Lexus Remote?

After stating that a subscription would be necessary to keep access to Apple CarPlay, BMW received a lot of backlash. However, BMW is not the only company offering subscription services for car functioning. As part of the practice of charging extra for servicesin this example, remote startingLexus has also joined the fray.

One client stated on Reddit last year that “Lexus Customer Service confirmed that they will now disable your built-in key fob remote start if you do not pay the $359 for their… Enform Remote Start app.” The consumer was initially informed that there was absolutely no connection between the Enform app and the actual key fob. But after waiting for 30 minutes, apparently to do some research, the same customer support agent altered his response.

In an effort to disprove it, we contacted Lexus to learn the actual facts about this. However, to our amazement, it is unquestionably accurate. Toyota’s East Coast Communications Manager, Corey Profitt, “Lexus Enform Remote, which works with your smartphone, smartwatch (iWatch or Android Wear), and key fob, is offered for one-year free trial to Lexus owners. The guest has the choice to either continue the trial when the year is up or cancel it. All three alternatives for [remotely] starting the car are disabled by the service if the guest doesn’t extend. The fact that a Lexus Enform Remote subscription must be active causes the key fob to stop functioning as a remote auto starter. The service on the vehicle is automatically disabled whenever the subscription expires.”

Even though Apple CarPlay is increasingly widespread in new cars, it is still something of a novelty and an extra that wealthy owners might be willing to spend money on. A remote start, however, is another matter. Even one of the most basic automobiles on the market 15 years ago, my 2003 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, had remote start. Lexus now offers a subscription-based version of it. Even worse, what if the included feature in your automobile automatically stops working if you don’t pay for the subscription? Just plain low, that.

We should point out that the Redditor wasn’t totally accurate, especially with regards to price. The Remote App alone may be purchased via the Lexus Enform website for $8 per month or $80 per year for some models, or $16 per month or $160 per year for other models, not $359 as the Reddit thread implies. It’s possible that customer complaints caused the price to decrease from the previous year.

However, is it really worth even $80 a year for your car to maintain a feature that it arrived with, is completely capable of performing, but is purposefully disabled if you don’t subscribe? The choice will be up to Lexus owners.

Can you remotely start a Lexus?

You may quickly start and stop your engine using your regular key fob if your Lexus has an Enform remote and was manufactured in 2020 or later.

What is the whole package for the Lexus Enform?

Through the Lexus app on your smartphone, wristwatch, or devices with Hey Google* or Amazon Alexa* support, you can lock and unlock doors, start the engine and temperature control, check the fuel level, and more using the Lexus Enform Remote* service. Furthermore, it is free for the first three years of ownership.

Depending on the most recent temperature control settings, remote engine start/stop enables you to remotely start your car’s engine to warm or cool the cabin. Until any door is opened, the brakes are applied, or the engine is remotely turned off, the engine or hybrid system will continue to run for up to 10 minutes.

Finding your car on the street or in an open parking lot is now much simpler thanks to the Vehicle Finder*. It can direct you to where your car was last parked using the map on your smartphone.

If the vehicle is started or goes over predetermined speed, curfew, mileage, engine run time, total elapsed time, or distance from a predetermined location, Lexus Enform Remote* can send an immediate alert.

Your doors can now be remotely locked and unlocked, and you will get a confirmation if the operation was successful. Additionally, if you remotely open your Lexus, the doors will automatically lock again after 30 seconds if nothing else is done.

You may remotely check the condition of your car’s doors, windows, moonroof, trunk, and hood as well as its fuel level, odometer, and trip kilometers with the touch of a button. You may also receive customisable alerts from the system.

Important Points To Bear In Mind The app can only be used if both your smartphone and your vehicle are in locations with consistent cell coverage and an internet connection. Your key fob’s functionality IS NOT replaced by the Enform App. Without the key fob, you won’t be able to start your car.
