New Full Feature Remote

[adrianzulu]

Hey Guys: 2005 350GT V35, although it is a manual has remote start ability if it is in neutral.There is only 1 remote come with it,which is quite old; once this one goes it is my understanding from Nissan here in Canberra, that there is no software here to replicate the codes for the vehicle that will allow for remote start again or even possibly cover general start replacement.

I was told there could possibly be an importer with this capability, has anyone heard of who or how to get round this problem?

Thanks. Adrian

Not able to put up a pic at the moment but will do shortly, it looks like a tiny walkie talkie

There is a good chance the remote start could void your insurance, it is certainly non ADR compliant over here, it should have been disconnected as part of compliance. The car obviously doesn't have an ADR immobiliser fitted either.

Not sure how you could get a replacement unit but imo you are better off getting an aftermarket modern alarm, with autostart feature if you want it.

Yeah, I know the one. It's easy to use. My car has it functioning. I only use it on my private property, on which I can do whatever the fk I want to.

What Scotty says is technically correct.

Search and you'll find the instructions. It's a piece of piss to turn off too, as long as the hard wiring hasn't been ripped out it will work.

Hey Guys, pic of the remote, the car was imported in 2008, probably they had no clue then it has a remote start set up.

I haven't been able to locate another one for back up. Any clues on the shelf life of these things, must be close to 9yrs now.

Any recommendations of a decent alarm with remote start capability.

I don't understand why they would install this anyway, how does it work with the factory system, does it void it or just neutralise and sit beside it?

Nice car though, love it (although I flattened the battery the day after I bought it, still don't know how)

Pic doesn't work for me.

Remote has a replaceable battery.

Have you got it to work yet?

[adrianzulu]

I have an idea on how I think it works although haven't tried it, after flattening the battery the other day I will just let it go for awhile, anyone else had the experience with remote start in a manual?

The other thing is I looked into changing over the 6 stacker to a single din with camera, everything but sat nav, because the kit from Japan is so expensive (to include all aircon and other features) that is 1500 on its own, by the time they fit the head unit it is going to cost 3k, a shit load of money has anyone done it cheaper? I have seen on here that the after market kit is heaps cheaper but looks cheap.

What would anyone else do? Blow the 3k?

Second hand dual din (base model) facia, buy modern local dual din stereo with whatever functions you want, profit?

There are a few alarms around with remote start capability, I could point you in the direction of a business to help out, but I have no idea if you are local.
