Nissan Remote Starter

Luckyontheducky · 01-05-2006, 09:15 AM

Just got mine installed. Is it supposed to come with instructions? I am wondering if there is a way to disable it while working under the hood so 'accidental' starting is not possible. Dealer said "I dunno." (Dealers suck!)

This is a Genuine Nissan Accessory or aftermarket?

You'll have to ask the dealer where they put the on/off switch for it. It's usually near the fuse box. But yes, there is a shut-off for it if it's the Nissan model.

$400 Expensive? Try installing one yourself sometime and then tell me! I installed one in my '97 V8 Thunderbird 2 years ago (Its for sale now, BTW) All afternoon on your head under the steering column will make you think otherwise.

My dealer told me that Nissan doesn't make a remote starter and if I wanted one, I had to go to an automotive/stereo shop nearby for one. ????

The dealer was correct. Chevrolet is starting to offer it in some of their cars this year. Wouldn't it be great if Nissan and others offered plug and play modules? It would almost guarentee that every interested owner would buy their system. Even if it cost more money, I know I'd own it already.

I was also informed that nissan does not make a remote start and still think its an aftermarket they just put in...

Nissan doesn't make one. The dealers do install them but they're aftermarket units warranted by Nissan if dealer installed. Your dealer may or may not choose to do these installs.

Interesting. Its the same fob that came with the truck. Push lock button twice to start. Where can I find the module to determine brand?

Ours too usues the factory keyfob to start. You just hit lock twice to start. If installed the right way, you can roll down the windows or, in my case, open the power sliding doors in the Quest, without having to have the key in the ignition. The unit should be up under the dash close to the fuse panel. You can also just call the dealer to find out the brand they use.
