Adding Remote Start

[showcoach97]

Does anyone know how difficult it would be to add remote start to an HS? I have the technology package so I'm not sure if this would make a difference as it relates to the remote start or not. If you have input, I would love to hear it. Thanks for listening!

The installation instructions may be viewed and a remote starter purchased for $170.15 at http://lexus.sewellparts.com/accessories-catalog/viewall/HS250h-2011/2432.html if you register with a car forum member name. Looks like a "Techstream" is required to activate a remote starter.

Remote start seems an odd feature for a vehicle whose gasoline engine normally doesn't run when the Start button is pressed. I'm curious as to why you want one. We have a Prius v wagon with the Advanced Technology Package and also live in Kansas.

Thanks for the reply and the link for instructions and price. Since being here in KS, I've noticed how cold it can get and even though the gas engine does start, it will make a difference on a very cold KS morning or night. It also takes time for those leather seats to warm up.
