i had my car locked the other day but with the windows down (force of habit to lock the car) and realised that i had forgoten something so i reached in and unlocked the door grabbed my stuff and all of a sudden the horn started blarring at me. scared the bejesus out of me. has anybody come across this before in one of there cars. the importer that i got the car of didnt even realise it had an alarm. i have found a little switch on the d/s kick panel that turns of the flashing led on the dash but i havent gotten around to testing if it has anything to do with the actual alarm.

Has anyone else got the 'NISSAN SECURITY' arial/reciever unit that sits in front of the rear view mirror. I have and i dont know what its purpose it?

Not sure if this is related or not (dont want to hijack your thread)

Hmm yes I do, I thought it was a GPS antenna for my xanavi unit? Either that or something for the Toyota Electronic Toll Controller unit that's been installed...

This little jigger is the antenna for the remote starter. It flashes when the alarm is armed. If you don't have the factory remote or the compliancer fitted an immobiliser it is practically useless except for looking pretty.

Dave, the Factory GPS antenna sits under the dash just in front of the clock. If you had the ETC toll collector unit, you would know as it is pretty obvious.

Is it true that the Mongoose M80G will function in this way ie. off the Nissan key remote?

Not in my case - I've got the Nissan factory remote key, but I leave it at home and just use the copy I had cut, as it saves me from carrying around the bulky key AND the remote for the alarm.

I think the issue is that the Mongoose uses a rolling code remote, but the factory key doesn't.

Thanks :devil: Yeah I have the ETC toll collector unit, it's a big box taped to the side of the centre console, and when you push buttons on it it says things to you in a female Japanese voice...

uh huh "Insert your ETC card please". Pretty easy to remove. they normally patch it into your cig lighter power.

ahh I wondered what it was she was saying lol

Not patched to ciggie lighter for me though, was a whole massive loom in there with about 10 metres of cable, cable tied up, with 3 wires, one of which was earth, and a whole custom short loom with a false plastic plug in the end that went nowhere... I'll try to get a pic of it all its crazy

sorry to bring up an old tread but i just bought a S2 stagea and its got the thing infront of the mirror and its got a retro looking remote thing as well.. i'll post a pic when i get home.. its got start/stop - check and alarm set on the unit. can't get it too start though, the dash lights come on but go off straight away.

yeah got the same things, cept mine is on what looks like mini mobile phone.

have you got a turbo timer installed ?

cause once i had my tubo timer installed, i can no longer use the remote start. but now if i push check it would tell me that the engine is off, temp inside the car and if its locked or not.

now with the turbo timer installed i push CHECK it will tell me that but the mirror's will fold out , the stereo will come on and the lights on the dash will come on also, then the turbo timer will switch on for 30seconds and everything will shut down.

so basically my factory alarm key from nissan is useless as it only locks and activates the alarm. and some times it doesnt de-activate and im left in a very messed up situation at shopping centers !! so its in no use anymore, just using the key with lock/unlock on it now.

hope that helps to your question :S

here are some photos of the remote unit and the reciever.. i played around with the remote and i can't get it to do much at all.. it beeps and the lights come on but thats about it. when you press the start button it beeps then the dash lights come on for about 1 sec then go off again. p.s i don't have a turbo timer installed

wow that looks different.

mine is the same setup with the buttons but i have a lcd screen on mine . . . . i once started my car from about 250meters away. i was on a hill though in my truck on a cold day. thought what the hell, got to my car engine was warm, had the heat on in the morning so it came on also, aswell as my seat warmers, bloody good idea. only thing is, when i open the door it shuts down. . . like a theft thing i guess

i have that remote and the thing behind the rear view mirror. but mine does nothing, i think during compliance the power was cut to it. there are some weird boxes under the steering wheel and some funny wiring thats been cut off

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
