2008 SE remote starter question

ok, so where did you get it done?

A place called AGOR Enterprises. They are located in Rochester NY and Syracuse NY.

Another place called Infinite Auto said they could do it too. They use a iData bypass module that seems very capable for not needing the extra key.

JBS makes a T harness but it doesn't look like they have one for the Armada / Titans. I wouldn't attempt this install without it. I want contact bulldog to see if they have one or will make one. Anyone know of a remote starter with the a T harness or plug in wiring kit that doesn't require the mutilation of my factor wiring?

Thanks!

Neil

x2. Would love to have remote start with the factory key fob.

Hurray!! I got my remote starter and didn't lose a key. It just took finding an outfit that knew about bypasses and what works and what doesn't.

I did end up with new key FOBs which is fine by me. They even kept the window down feature and added a window up feature for me. Now I can open and close the front windows remotely.

The place even installed some other parts for me for free. I guess since it didn't add any more time to the install they didn't feel the need to charge me.

Can you tell us exactly what brand and model number you ended up getting so I can print this thread and give it to our local guy. I called and stopped by 3 different installers and they all say I'm going to lose the valet key.

Thanks in advance,

The remote and book say (1) Start. However, they bypass module was something different. I'll check the paperwork to see if it says what they used.

Hopefully we can get the list up of a working kit that uses the factory key FOB and make this a sticky.

Ok, my remote start system is a One Start from AST - model OS125. This does not use the factory keyfob. I use the starter's FOB for all functions - including my new CLOSE window function.

The bypass is a XK07 - DIRECTED ELECTRONICS XK07 Bypass module nissan can bus imobilizer.

It does not use a factory key except for programming. I still have all my keys for use.

I just got the viper 5900 installed and they tried to use the key module and found out that it would not work without the idata module. This is the two way, "one mile" range remote start and alarm. Pretty expensive, 659.00 installed. The new key fob has a picture of the car and shows when the alarm or remote start is activated. I like having the feedback, so when you go out to your truck, you know it has started.

just got the viper put on my titan a few weeks ago. it is the viper 591xv, along with the i-datalink(doorlock, bypass, CAN)(idatalink.com) you get to keep both keys and the viper system comes with the new remote that shows you if the vehicle starts witch is nice if you cant see the truck. the idata has to have two keys to program it(witch i had to have another key made since i only had one.)

i got mine installed by a place called CAR-FI here in springfield MO. it cost 400.00 and works great!!!!!

The iDatalink was recommended by another installer but because they were farther away, I didn't use them.

I guess JBS is out of the picture for me.

Anyone know of any other remote starters that do not have to be spliced into the wires??

Word to the wise.............don't do it! I have seen many problems with remote starts on newer model cars. Just had one the other day, car stalls while driving, found that remote stater was wired into main harness causing a voltage drop in the gas pedal circ. which put the car into fail safe. Unless you know of someone who can wire one up correctly, I would not advise it.

You should always stick to good installers. The titan needs the CAN-SL2 bypass module. This will bypass the ignition without the use of a key and operate many other functions through the OBDII. There is nothing wrong with installing a remote start in newer cars. Things have actually only gotten easier over the years.

so if i order the can sl2 bypass module, what remote starter would you recommend to use with it? whats obdII? thanks, new to the forum.

DEI, Autopage and Crimestopper are all good options but there are plenty others to chose from. The Hornet 564T is what I usually install and is the most bang for the buck. What you go with depends on the features you are looking for;Two-way, LED remote, LCD remote and so on. You will need to add a relay to operate the second starter wire on the Titan. All of the wires are very easy to get to.

what do you think of the dei (viper, python, clifford) responder LE? it seems like it has everything including a bypass module. just a little pricey.

I had a quality local audio shop install a DEI Clifford 50.5 in the truck with no issues with the remote start. With one remote I can roll down the front or rear windows (requires the 530T). I can start the truck from a very far distance, not sure how far but I can start my truck from inside a mall, in a parking structure (yes it works). I can pop the rear tonneau cover (gaylord) and get in the back of the truck without ever touching the cover (kinda cool). Anywhew what I'm saying is there are a lot of cool things you can do with a quality remote start system...

They are nice alarms but DEI has a lot of problems with their bypass modules. The bypass plug is neat but its not like wiring an external module is a lot of work. I like the LE but they are overpriced.

Just got my truck and I need to add a remote starter. I just want to verify that the Valet 561T and 556U will work on the 2008 with the factory security system and keyfobs.

Yes it will work. did it my self on my 08 titan and on two 07 armadas. Works great with the stock fob as long as you don't need a half mile range. only downfall is you loose a key. overall install was not bad at all.
