Remote Start

[hopetriumphs]

I saw on Cardomain.com that someone had managed to program the nissan remote to have remote start. I sent the guy a message to figure out how he did it, but in the meantime I thought i'd register and see if any of you guys might know the answer. Or if maybe Nissan had a nice remote start of their own.

I'm a noob on this site but am not new to forums. I have a scion tc and have been a part of that for a couple years now. thanks.

If its possible please post up. Cause that would be AMAZING

First.. WELCOME!2nd. there is some smoke and mirrors around how to do it.. many stealerships can do it for $700! but we havent figured out their secret yet...

[MikeisSUPERBAD]

find out and post here!! LOL

i would really think that somehow you would need a bypass keyfob hidden in the car somewhere for the car to start up... because before you can even unlock the door or put the car in standby you have to have the key within 36 inches of the car

I can unlock and lock my car from my apartment....

[smithersbpr]

but then if you have a fob in the car how will you go about locking it?

[MikeisSUPERBAD]

well put it this way...

i got 2 key fobs when i got my car (no actual keys just the remote thingies)

u can unlock and lock the car when away from the car because the fob is sending signals to the car... but the car wont turn on without the fob being within 36 inches of the car... at least thats what the manual said.

i just unlocked my car from the inside of my house and asked my roommate to go to the car and step on the brake and turn on the ignition and the car didnt do anything.so i would think the fob or something telling the car the fob is "there/nearby" would need to be installed... in order for remote start to work.... i dunno... im not a nissan tech so im just throwin out ideas lol

[adidas2go]

o yea, absolutely a bypass would need to be built. Not a key inside the car, but a bypass around the key sensor. I mean it has been done. Robert has it done in his car, but he has a full alarm system to go along with it.

If you have the PHob....then you have the keys....LOL take a look at your fob and notice the small lever to release the key from the fob...

RTFM might help....

[hopetriumphs]

its nice to know it can be done. truth be told i do not own an altima....yet. i'm currently, i'm sure like many of you gys here, considering the altima and accord. one of the reasons i prefer the accord is because it has a factory remote start but i'm leaning towards the altima now. it has a sportier look and i definately dig the push to start. its a definate conversation starter.

ive seen a few viper and python alarms that are really expensive but have great reviews but the remote is big. i'm willing to over look the fact the nissan FOB doesnt have an LED screen to let me know the car started if i can program that sleek tiny thing to start the car for me.

also, for that guy who sadyou couldntdoit cuz the key needs to be in the immediate vicinity, the bypass would be built in the car, not the key. its the same way aftermarket remotes work. it tricks the car into thinking the key is in the ignition.

the bypass that you guys are speaking of is nothing more than a special type of relay module, like the can-sl2 (for aftermarket units) there' probably a different one they use for factort remote starts...

I though tabout the factory remote start. but opted for a real aftermarket one. Actually, the remote start was not what I was going for, but rather, the OLED sacreen remote pager that notifies you of everything including, the real time staus of the car, whether there have been any break in attempts, which zone, the temperature, and the remote start status (among many other features) And I paid the same amount of money that the stealership would have charged for theor factory remote start.

If you guys have expensive audio equipment, PLEASE, get a real alarm with a pager, other wise, you're wasting money and risking losing your audio equipment!

Have you noticed any problems with that bypass module and your intellikey? I went to the only reseller in GA of the alarm you own and they said they couldn't do it because they did an 07 altima and their intellikey got erased and he wanted to wait for version 2 of the module to come out. I think they don't know what they are talking about. On top of that they quoted me $800 installed!

[hopetriumphs]

first off. great whip. secondly, i'm glad we're both o the same page with how the remote start bypass works. thirdly, How does Nissan's factory alarm work? is there a link to see it? and last...

my gripe about pagers is you have to be within the vicinty of the car. even the remotes that have a so-called range of a mile, but are really a quarter of a mile which still isnt bad at all are all limited to vicinity. if i park and walk 15 minutes to my class at school or leave it at an amusement park or the mall, it will not work. ok, maybe, maybe the park will.

ultimately alarms are noghing but a deterrent and make it second guess a car thief.

the problem is, those guys are second rate installers! Or, they may have done it before the correct information was out on the vehicles, and tried to wing it. BUt I got mine done in January (I think) and I have not had one problem. My factory fobs and alarm is still in perfect working condition, and my aftermarket remote start works flawlessly! Tell those guys to get some qualified alarm installers, and they won't have that problem. They won't want to hear it, but its the truth!

Regarding the price, well it really is that expensive installed!... especially if they put in all of the relay modules fo the trunk, windows, proximity alert, foprcefield, etc.

Well, I don't know about "how" the factory alarm works.. obviously, that's a closely gaurded secret since, if they told folks, they would lose a lot of money, but Eduardo taht used to be on these forums has a cousin that works for nissan, I may be able to get him to find out.

Regarding the proximity thing, well yes, MOST companies that claim 1 mile range will only allow a quarter mile, and even less if buildings, etc are in the line of sight of the remote and the antenna. For the BIg alarm companies (i.e. Directed Electronics that makes Viper, Clifford, Horbet, etc.) the industry governs them VERY hard to keep their signal strenth down to avoid interference with outside equipment. Viper had to recall the 7900 last year due to horrible interference with outside equpments because the idots didn't field test them in the real world before releasing them (but that's off topic)

Autopage has the absolute BEST range in the businesss. It says 1 mile, and although I haven't tested it yet, I did test it at 3/4 mile in the open, and it worked! The only issue is that there is a few seconds delay, but other than that, the range is phenominal!

[hopetriumphs]

interesting...

what i meant with "how it worked" was... if there was a second remote for the autostart or if it was programmed into the intellikey.

ive never heard of Autopage. got me curious. i'll look em up. if it work almost a mile away thats gotta be outstanding. a big problem is battery life with those LED pagers.

oh I see...

With my autopage Rs-1000, with the correct relay modules, you DO NOT have to give up a factory fob, which some folks will tell you, but that is incorrect!

regarding my OLED screen, it actually has a rechargeable battery! You plug the chord into the remote the same way you would a cell phone, and it recharges in like 15 minutes!

threadjacking wil not be tolerated!! jk.

lol...i meant if you knew whether the nissan alarm required another remote or if it was built into the intellikey.

built into the intellikey...
