Remote Start

[bbs350z]

viper makes a kit that you can start/lock/unlock your car through your cell phone from anywhere in the world as long as you get reception

Hitting the brake will always make it shut down. Correct procedure is to hit the start button twice. If that isn't working, then either they used an ancient immobilizer bypass or did something incorrectly.

I have the instructions from idatalink(guess for the bypass) as to how your suppose to take it over with pressin the break. I called autopage yesterday and they said the samething, that it will always shut down if you push the break.

Ah, you're using an idatalink bypass. My guess is they hooked up the brake wire directly to the remote starter instead of through the bypass. If they did that it will shut the car down every time. Take it back and have them check it out.

Well I called them and they said it is going through the bypass. But they are suppose to call tech support and figure it out. They mentioned about data and analog and that it may need to be changed over to analog instead. Thanks for the input and help.

Definitely have them do it wire to wire vs. via the data cable. That causes issues 95% of the time.

And that was the soultion to the problem after a 2 hr wait and like 3 phone calls to tech support!

I figured. That's why I have my guys do every install wire to wire. A little extra work up front, but well worth it as there are far less issues.

Can anyone recommend a qualified installer in the dc area that can do this. I am heading up there tomorrow and would like to get this done on Monday if possible.

Thanks,
Jason

I also have an 2008 M35x and am looking for a really good remote starter for my car. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Also , does someone know of a good installer in the Woodbridge, NJ area (middlesex county), thanks.

I have a Electronic Environment in Lawrencville NJ looking into this and expecting a call back tomorrow. He installed a remote starter on our 04 FX 5 years ago and did a good job. He installed my sub and amp last week and he knew some stuff about but had to do some research to give me accurate info.

[mikesd1980]

I just talked to my local shop. He said its excalibur remote start and he said he have to take the door unlock signal from the drivers side module to get it to work. Price is $450... Thinking about it.....

You can get the Viper for that price and it's a much better system.

[mikesd1980]

Can the viper be used with the factory key fob? He go with excalibur cause he is a dealer for them, he dont use viper.

^^The dealers are installing aftermarket parts. There is no OEM remote starter from Infitini...even if the dealer tells you there is. I install them all the time for the local Infiniti dealers and they sell them as their own. Unless they prove the remote starter damaged something (which it won't) they CAN NOT void your warranty. There is new legislation regarding this.

Also, you CAN get it to work on your factory remote (range will only be as good as it is now) AND get the aftermarket remotes along with it. Anyone saying otherwise either doesn't know what they're talking about or is lying. $400-$600 isn't bad from a dealer to be honest as their pricing is always a little higher.

Here is the law if anyone was still wondering...

If they test the vehicle and with the testing can prove it was the fault of the aftermarket parts they can deny the warranty claim and bill you for testing according to this. Otherwise they cant blame everything on your aftermarket modification.
