Sorry I don't have a Titan like most others on this forum. I love the truck so much I come on here to read about it though. Anyways I had an 02 Altima and I put remote start on there. I received 3 keys for my car, one of them was a valet. You have to buy a component with the remote start where they place the key in this little box and a wire connects to the ignition on the steering wheel column. I can't remember if they destroyed my key, or if they just placed the whole key in this little box that obviously receives the signal from the key to allow the remote start to turn the car/truck over. Just my 2 cents on remote starts. I would buy an aftermarket remote starter. I have friends who have to go look through the front window to see if their car is started. I paid 170 for a commando car alarm with remote start. There is no need to take out the oem security system. Reason I mention my friends having to go visually see if their car started is because I bought one with a little digital lcd screen that verifies on screen that your car started. My friends have no range unless they are close to their car to start it. The commando alarm I purchased worked great, and has 2500 ft of range. I tested the range, it's great. Not sure if rules on this forum prevent links being posted, but you might look at www.commandoalarms.com or www.slickcar.com. If you buy from the internet you can then find a local car audio installer that will install the alarm for 150-200. I'm not sure what kind of alarm or intigrated remote start that Nissan will install, but I'm assuming it won't be as nice. The lcd remote is just nice to have, hit the button to call your truck at anytime to make sure doors are locked, or if the car is running. Good security too, notifies if glass breaks or if the trunk is open by paging the remote. Granted you truck has no trunk, just noting the features. Of course you have to be in range. Sorry for the long reply, just wanted to put in my 2 cents about my experience with remote start. Some people want to pay 500 dollars for a name brand remote start alarm. I definitely believe in the saying that you get what you pay for. As for the commando alarm I had it worked well. I have a cousin who has one installed, had it for a couple years now, works really well. Anyways good luck on your alarm shopping.
