Do you know you can remotely start the engine with your key fob.

Press "lock" 3 times; 1...2..., and on the 3rd time, press and hold the button for about 3-5 seconds and then release button. The engine will start automatically after the head light flashing.

also, 306 hp isn't bad

and, i will say that the lexus experience blows the nissan experience away in terms of how the dealership treats u and the perks that come with owning a lexus... they'll even bring me a lexus loaner to my house if my car needs service, service my car, then bring it back to me... and being at the dealership was almost like being at a luxury resort... they even had a hd theater for moving watching while your car is being serviced... a gormet café with a person who will make exactly what you want free of charge... hd tvs with couches/chairs set-up like little living rooms everywhere... i was totally impressed

this move had nothing to do with not loving my z or disrespecting nissan... to me, there's no comparison to the z for the money... this was just a personal choice to do what's best for me and my fiancé at this time
Oh, no doubt!! I TOTALLY agree with you about all this. And it IS a GREAT car. Im just not quite at that point...yet. Will be soon though. :-)

didn't know that... thanks

lexus also sent me an app for my smartphone that i can lock, unlock, start my car with... it also will find my car if i forget where i park it... it will also let me limit the speed/distance if someone else is driving my car (like my son, valet parking, etc.)... i'm extremely impressed thus far

it's going to take some time to learn all of the features with this car... it even has a mouse pad on the center console to operate the navi system... the owners manual is about an inch thick but the manual for the navi system/tech package is about 3 inches thick... lots of reading in my future

Yes, that's a cool app. My wife hardly uses it. She uses the remote starter from the key fob to warm up the engine.

Here is another useful setting that you can do it yourself or have the Dealer set it when you have your free 1st year service done at the dealer. I changed my wife RC from default 3 blinks when you signal the lane change to 5 blinks. I got these instructions from Club Lexus forum.


1. Start with the car completely off.

2. Use the rotary knob on the wiper control to set how many blinks you want. This knob has four positions:

- 1st (bottom) position = 3 blinks
- 2nd position = 5 blinks
- 3rd position = 7 blinks
- 4th (top) position = no automatic blinks

3. Hold the wiper lever in the all-the-way-up position, and keep holding it there

4. With foot OFF brake pedal, press the start button twice so the gauges light up (keep holding that wiper lever up!)


5. Continue to hold the wiper lever all the way up for a count of 8 or more (if you go too fast you will have to start all over!)

6. Let the wiper lever come down one position and hold it there for a count of 8 (don't let it go back to the middle, just let it come down one position)

7. Hold with wiper lever all the way up again for another count of 8

8. Let with wiper lever come down one position again, and hold it for a count of 8

9. Let go of the wiper lever. The right turn signal should flash once. If it doesn't, turn the car off and start again at step 1.

10. Briefly move the turn signal lever down 1 position and let go of it again.

The left turn signal should flash to confirm your setting, but not in the way you might expect. It will blink 1, 2, 3, or 4 times to match where you set the rotary knob on the wiper control, so:

- 1 flash = set for 3 blinks

- 2 flashes = set for 5 blinks

- 3 flashes = set for 7 blinks

- 4 flashes = no auto blinks"

I am finally seeing a few RCs around town, and in person they look pretty good (especially in black). In fact it is a lot more conservative than I thought it would be.

The RC F may be the only "performance" car made today that isn't a steaming, hyped-up pile o' dog-s**t.

I like the key fob but I wish it would be smaller. It is a real smart key. When you get close to the door handle, the car unlocks and the light comes on at the door handle. It's a pretty cool feature. There are many little details that Lexus put into their cars.

If you have the NAV, you can change start up screen too. It's documented in the manual. My wife did hers. The dealer put their Logo advertising screen on hers when the nav came on. Now when she starts her RC her Marilyn Monroe photo comes up after the nav disclosure screen, no more Logo screen from the dealer.

i just downloaded the app (lexus enform remote) that will let me lock, unlock and start my car remotely... it will also locate my car (like when you forget where you park)... it will send me notifications if i forget to lock it or i leave the windows down/moon roof open... and, it allows me to limit the speed/amount of drive time if i leave it with valet or, say, let my son take it out for the evening... technology amazes me sometimes
