Looking to put remote start on my Nissan Titan, probably stupid however i have been thinking about it, would be super nice on the hot days, and even better on the cold days. Just wondering if you have the full out alarm system and If so what? Other wise do you have the remote start that works off the factory alarm key fob, that is what im thinking about getting?
You can get either keyless entry with remote start, or alarm/keyless, and remote start. If you want the extra security of an alarm, it's not that much more expensive, plus it adds starter kill, so that's a 5% discount on your insurance premium and maybe more depending on your carrier.
You mentioned adding it to the OEM keyfob. That's worthless. You're keyfob works from 50-100'. There's no point for it to work any further as you don't need to unlock your doors from 1/2 mile away. Also, adding it to the existing is the exact same price as adding a stand-alone system.
If you have an aftermarket system installed, the OEM will still be functional, but not needed.
The 2 most important things are:
*What's your budget?
*What features do you want?
You can start with a basic keyless entry/remote start that works from 2000': http://www.clifford.com/Products/Pro...?ProductID=713
Or you can go with an alarm/keyless/remote start that works from 1-mile with a 2-way LCD remote: http://www.clifford.com/Products/Pro...?ProductID=721
You'll indefinitely need a bypass module for the transponder in the truck. That fools the truck into thinking there's a key being turned in the ignition. http://www.idatalink.com/searchresul...,AL&f=PL,WD,PG
The first one at my shop would cost you $350 installed. That includes the Clifford module, the bypass module for your truck, and the installation with an "as long as you own it" labor guarantee.
The second one would be around $550 installed.
Your local shops will vary in price. I have no overhead at my place, but taxes are about to kill me. Try to find a local mom and pops shop and support them if at all possible. Stay away from the big box places as they hire installers and pay them minimum wage. Any installer that has a clue about this stuff won't work in a place like that....
If you have any questions about any of that, feel free to ask....

(My numbers might be off) In my remote it came with a CR2032 3V battery, my friend who also instlled my remote start said that if I put in 2 CR2016's which are half the thickness it will double the voltage to my keypad and give me more distance. I can be in the local arena watching a concert or hockey game and start my truck over a half mile away in the parking garage. (Only do this to 1 remote, and I have only done this on my Viper)
