Hi, I see remote engine starters available from Lexus and on Ebay. I have a premium, but otherwise basic Ct. IS the receiver that takes the signal already installed onaboard? (ie, what else do I need to buy in addition to the remote key?)
Good question, I doubt it though. Can you share the ebay link so we can read the description? It should tell you what it comes with, maybe that will help.Hi, I see remote engine starters available from Lexus and on Ebay. I have a premium, but otherwise basic Ct.

Lexus Remote Engine Start 2011-2012 Lexus CT200h | eBayGood question, I doubt it though. Can you share the ebay link so we can read the description? It should tell you what it comes with, maybe that will help.
it's a module and works with the keys that came with the carThis may be a stupid question but do you only need the special remote to have the remote start ability or is there a module that has to be installed in the vehicle? I have a 2012 CT with the non-nav package.
Any car that i've owned in the past have had to have a module installed into the vehicles electrical system. If all you need is the remote to ( and possible reprogramming) start the vehicle, almost seems to easy.
Am i missing something?
Thanks
I'm interested in the cost to activate as well. The installation procedure itself looks fairly easy.Do you know how much they charge to activate the module? I didn't get my ct with the remote starter originally.
They charged me $500 flat for the remote start and installation.Do you know how much they charge to activate the module? I didn't get my ct with the remote starter originally.
