Why are you trying to add a remote start that relies on the oem remote? If I understand this correctly, then your range for starting the car would only be as far as the oem key fob distance. The "intelli-key" fobs use 2 different signals. 1 for the alarm, lock and unlock buttons; and another signal(some type of encrypted passive RFID, I think) for starting up the car and unlocking from the door handles. The combination of the 2 signals and the way the module is wired is definitely going to cause some head ache. Unless you have an intelli key bypass(which would let everyone drive off with your car) or find a better way of wiring it then I dont really see it working in my head.
When I got an autostart(Viper autostart) for my Rogue, the dealership didnt want to install it. There was only 1 shop in town that would even take on the challenge, luckly it turned out good.
Sadly, the Rogue isnt that popular (compared to the Titian, and Odyessy) so resources are pretty slim for autostarts.
Call around to a few shops to see if they have successfully installed autostarts on any Rogues or newer Nissans with the Intellikey and see what they say.
IMO, a short ranged autostart is pretty useless. Heating and cooling for the Rogue takes a long time due to the, 4 cylinder, Aluminum block engine. Unless youre parking and living within 30 feet of your car, it's pretty pointless just to go outside and get within the 30 feet and wait right by it for the 5 minutes it takes to notice any heating or cooling difference. Even though the key fob says it has a range of 1000feet or whatever, there is no way you will ever be able to achieve that full distance(tests done in labs with lower atmospheric pressure, no humidity, no interference, or and obstructions). Even my Viper autostart with a 1 mile range cant achieve the reported distance but is still far enough to start my Rogue in a practical sense.
