I just had a remote starter installed in my RX300, but have one major complaint. In mine, the center climate control thing doesn't turn on. The installer told me I can't have the heater in "auto" mode because of this. He said I have to set it in manual mode and set the fans to blow at X speed in order for it to work. The problem with this is that I don't want to use manual mode, and the heaters instantly blow when the car is started; unlike in auto mode where it takes a couple of minutes for them to kick in (waiting for the car to warm up).
My question is for all of you that have a remote starter on the RX300. Does your "auto" mode work? or does your climate control computer turn on when you remote start your car?
