Ok, well my bf installed a remote start on my truck (which i sadly had to trade in, still mourning the loss) and i got spoiled of course and want to buy it for my new car... has anyone seen or heard any pros or cons since it has the intelli-key thing *which is awesome*.... also - have you guys seen any how-tos on it either?

robert (rjdmmfl1) installed one on his car, with an after market alarm. His is a very high quality system that works pretty seamlessly with the intellikey.

Can manual trannys have a remote starter?

[adidas2go]

Yes, you can ground out the clutch switch and trick the car into thinking the clutch is pushed in, so the car will start right up. Just dont leave it in gear

hey thanks! i need to talk to that guy - see if he installed it himself or if he had someone do it... my bf doesnt wanna do it, he thinks it will be too difficult.. but we'll see

I spoke to the nissan dealership for them to install an auto start they quoted me $700. I went to best buy and a car sterio place and both guys told me they do not have a bypass for the coupe yet so they basically have to make their own and cant guarentee that if someone got in the car without the intellikey that the car would shut off. That definitely scared me into not buying one just yet.

it can be done... $500+ is the going rate as of now..

Best buy associates and installers range from very knowledgable to completely incompetent... you ran into the latter!

Make sure they do it right and not just hide your spare ikey inside your car.

HI All... First Post!

I've called up 5 different installers today in the Northern Virginia area.

I have gotten this response from one installer...

Make sure they do it right and not just hide your spare ikey inside your car.

ANY remote starter system will work. BUT you need what is called a CanSl2. This is a Fortin piece. There you will have a long set of instructions. FOLLOW THEM!!! The Cansl2 will do everything and work everytime. $600 is a good price to NOT have to give up a key and have the system work with not replace the factory system. We do these for a dealer in CT but it does take a while for a qualified installer. DO NOT GO TO THE CHAIN STORES!!! Bestbuy and the Circus (ha ha) can't help you. In our area they send it to us. Again not sooooooooo hard just a longer than normal install.

well since im new to the whole intelli-key system thing.. i didnt know if it would be possible.. i will make sure to pass on the info to my bf... he will be doin all the hard work i just gotta pay for it oh well - it will def be a little while before i get that.. rims FIRST, radio second, theeeeen the remote start.. maybe by the end of the year it will be done.
