My 2014 LX 570 as a remote start option installed. However, I don't believe it works from a very far distance. I've heard that some Lexus vehicles have an app option that you can remotely start the vehicle from a longer distance. If this is true, does it work on a 2014 model? I assumed there's going to be a subscription fee, correct?

I don’t believe the app based OEM enform services were available on your LX. This is a good option, I installed this on my 21 LC and it works great.

Thank you for the link. The site says "Range is the same as your OEM Key", plus I don't like to carry an additional key fob. Currently my key fob can remote start, I just need a longer range. Yeah, I kinda thought my model may be too old for the Lexus app base remote start feature but wasn't sure.
How long of a distance? My 2013 works as long as the fob is in range (i.e. even if parked a few houses down the street). You can, of course, use the old 'hold-the-fob-under-your-chin' trick to turn your melon into a pseudo-WeBoost antenna to extend range. Works remarkably well and I've only developed a small tumor from the radiation.
the 12 volt remote start has a cellular app option you can use to lock/unlock/start/turn off your engine. It's celluar based, so it'll work as long as you've got signal. I believe there's an annual subscription cost with the app, but it works like charm. So the remote start will work both with your FOB and with the app.

That's nice! I'll certainly look into it if my OEM key fob does not work from my office to the parking lot.

How was the install?
Very easy. There is a Mud mumber who put together a very thorough video and it was perfect to follow. I’ll see if I can find it and post back later.
How is the phone app? The website makes it seem like it's not the greatest.
App is super easy for me. Lock, unlock, start, stop. Plus last known gps location, battery voltage and ambient temp. No complaints.
Nice. Do you know if they have a Apple Watch app?
Sorry if this was answered, but does the system connect to a phone through wifi or through bluetooth?
Nevermind, I saw on their website that for the app to work its an additional remote start module and $40 a year.
Oh well that makes things interesting haha! Okay sweet. Gonna have to read up on them more.
Hey guys, does anyone know how to install the factory remote keyfob start into a 2015 LX. I have one but i don't think it has the remote start option. My old 4runner would start if you locked the door 3 times and held it on the third press.
Is this how the LX starts if it has the factory remote start?

I don't think only the key will do it. I believe the truck needs some parts to.
Hello,
I have a 2015 LX with factory installed remote start, I want the app. Would I need to un-install what I currently have to install the 12v solutions setup?
Thank you,
Brett
