Hi,

I'm about to install a remote starter system with keyless system on a 1996 Nissan Altima, I want to know how hard is it and if I'm up for some nasty surprises on the keyless part or the starter part...., have anyone done it before...please help! I would appreciate some help. Thank's in advance.

This is a fairly basic install, the only thing that Nissan does different is that it has 2 crank (start) wires and both of these wires have to be powered, it also has 2 ingition wires , so you will have to use a rely for one or the other.

Does this information for keyless entry pertain to the 98 altima as well? It gives the same wire colors in Haynes that you gave for unlock and lock but I can't find those colors at the blue control module. Once I find the right wires can I just hook the unit to those wires without any relay resistor etc.. Thanks

Ok, I'll check for those. I've got constant 12v at Blue and White at the control module. Can I take power directly from that, ground to chasis and tap directly into gray for lock and purple for unlock without any worries?

Thanks

what module to you mean???ground does go to chassis, constant is ok if that is contant to ignition switch in car you can use, But use both dont tie your 2 constants off the remote starter to just one.

yes you can tap directly into those door lock wires as long as the unit can supply a negative pulse!! which every unit usually can!! The RED / white door trigger wire will read the domelight delay!! If you dont care that is fine if you do then you can get the three individual door trigers at the smart entrance and diode isolate them. Tach wire can be found at the distributor in the engine bay color is WHITE/ black in a 6 pin plug! Brake wire is RED / green at the brake switch.factory disarm is GREEN/ YELLOW at the smart entrance unit and arm is lt GREEN/ red at the same unit these are negative triggers as well.

I'm putting in the remote start, just the keyless entry. I don't care about only operating with the ignition off. The module Iabout is the power door control module to the right of the steering column (its blue) I don't need any relays for this system do I?
