what kinda security does these things have? key chip? i wanna do a remote start for my mother-inlaw and need to know what they have. probably use the APS-55LRA unit. any help would be great.

 

The latest Altimas use a transponder-immobilizer circuit that relies on communication between the key to the ignition cylinder. You will need a transponder bypass kit in order for the remote start to work. Some universal bypass kits will require that a key to be left in the car at all times. This is the least secure method but the easiest. If you choose this route, you'll have to hide the bypass unit in a secure place. There is another unit that does not require a key (preferred method) but you will need a Nissan scan tool in order for it to work. For more info on the bypass kits check out:

yeah...no scan tool here. damn. i though dei had a nissan specific one. its been a little over 3 years since i worked installs pro. damn i gotta keep my contacts. need to make a few calls.

 

there is an immobilizer in the car that hast to be bypassed. u need to use a dei 555u to bypass the code in ther key.
any other question contact me.

 

You need http://www.commandocaralarms.c...D=557

 

according to my DEI software you'll need DEI bypass module 555U

 

yeah, i got the 555u, but i've been out of the viper shop i worked in for like 2 years. was hoping they had one of the programable units. oh well, 555u it is. anyone can get me a tech sheet? or fax back? 2003 altima. thanks.

 

Check bypasskits.com---they will probably say to use the universal"key in a coffin"type bypass---if your worried about someone finding the key and taking your car, simply grind the key down, rendering it useless
