Did you hook up both starter wires properly?

Maybe provide a detailed description of all connections made and let us know if anything happens at all when you press start or lock or nlock.

ok,ive got a start kill relay on the start wire but it is a closed circuit,here the layout

relay pin 85- orange (-) start kill output from alarm

relay pin 86- BLACK/ white(on position) on ignition(+)

relay pin 87a- yellow start wire from ignition

relay pin 30- yellow to starter motor and yellow to alarm(start feed)(the wire from ignition has been cut between this connection and relay pin 87a connection)

then the power wires into the alarm are-

my ignition alarm harness

WHITE/ red(constant12v) red(+12v)

BLACK / YELLOW(starter) pin 87a of start kill relay

BLACK/ white(on position) blue(?)

blue(acc) green(?)

black to car body

i hope this explains it ok,the rest of the system seems to work ok,its just the remote starting that dont work,when i try it ,the remote beeps 4 times and my lights flash(not sure if this is normal or a fault code)

i checked the yellow starter output from the alarm and there wasn't 12v when trying the remote start

Sounds like a reservation mode violation problem. Is the car standard?

Does the manual say what 4 flashes mean?

Also, when you say you have an immobilizer, is that an aftermarket system? Or dis the UK get immobilizers on their vehicles way before the US? I have looked at 5 databases and none of them show a factory immobilizer.

Here is what I show for your car: Have you tested all the wires you have made connections to?
12V              white
STARTER          BLACK/ white
SECOND STARTER   BLACK / YELLOW
IGNITION        BLACK/ red
ACCESSORY        blue

its an aftermarket immobiliser(autowatch)

i think the alarm wiring is ok,i have found a few people with this alarm that have got the same problem with the remote start(only works after turbo timer shuts down the engine)

Hi , iv'e fitted 4 of these alarms so far , great value for money. Anyway is your nissan auto or man , if man are you going through the remote start memory before leaving the car or have you got it set to auto memory. if you have it connected correctly, when you pull up , turn off and remove the key ,the engine should stay running, until you leave and arm the car.

Hope this helps, if not i will try my best to figure it out for you.

cheers.
