This is the wiring diagram for my car i downloaded form the remote starter's manufacture's website, but i'm wicked confused with the wires i have to hook up to on the Smart Entrance CU, because this diagram says one thing and the FSM says another and the FSM's is confusing too so if someone can please tell me which color wire i have to hook up these to (the ones with the red dot)

This is the Diagram i downloaded from the website



this is from the manual (if it matters)

Hey what's up. I have the solution for you.

From Remote Start To wire in vehicle

Domelight H4/7 Black/white Light Blue(proper way is to use relay, but i've never had an issue hookin straight to wire)

Trunk H4/5 Red/White Blue(again with the relay thing)

Factory Disarm H4/8 Lt. grn/Black Orange/Blue

With the doorlocks all you have to do is follow the chart for the H5 harness (Type B negative trigger). Any other questions I'll try to help.

thanks man, another quick question. all the wiring diagrams for my car is the same but the thing is the pin out's don't match, like that color wires are there but in a different place like the lock and unlock wires pin #35 is empty on my but the same wire is in pin #14 and #15 is the Grey one, and its obvious that the pin numbers are not matching with my car so is it ok to go with the wire colors.

You should use DMM and double check the wires you want to tap into. It's possible they have the pins wrong unless you are looking at the plug from a different angle than they did. I've had cases of wrong pin locations and even as far as being a totally different color. Naturally I'm talking about all vehicles in general not just Nissans. I do remote starts on a daily basis. But always verify with a multimeter, it saves on repairs. Let me know how it goes.

The factory alarm rearm should be a green/yellow in the same area as the disarm. And your are gonna hook the H4/6 brown/black from the starter to it. I usually don't hook this one up, never hear any complaints from my customers. But it's up to you. If you didn't get the door locks figured out yet, you are gonna take the positive lead from your meter and tap it into 12v and the negative into your door lock wire suspect. The meter should read 0.0v and then when you hit the door lock/unlock button on the door the meter should go to 12v thus the negative trigger completing the circuit. Whew got that out. Good luck man. Let me know if you need more help.
