Just wondering how hard the install would be on this? I own a 2004 G35x and I am thinking about attempting the install myself, any thoughts or input?

if you are not sure of what you are doing an alarm is not the first install to try

if the alarm has remote start/starter kill and you dont know anything about it pay for it to be done

 

I should have added more info, I have a solid grasp on car knowledge. My concern is the weather and lack of garage. I will be installing outside and the warmest temp we have seen here is 32 in the past 2 weeks. I am curious as to what you guys would think an install time would be... Any special things that go along with aftermarket alarms/starters and infiniti

 

When I did mine, it took roughly 2 days of working at a slowish pace. I didn't have a second helping hand, so that makes it take a little longer. I would hate doing this in 32 degree weather personally. Especially if wires started to get stiff from being cold. The extras you need are a security system bypass module and a keylock module. You only need the keylock module if you do not want to run wires into the door. I actually have an extra keylock module for sale if you want to go that route.

 

Good info thanks! I talked to bestbuy about an install, (I don't know any local shops in town so I went Name brand) they are going to call me back tomorrow with a quote. I will let you know on the module in a few days

 

I was an installer for a few years, but it's been almost 10 years since I worked in that field, and I know stuff has gotten quite a bit more complicated since Y2K with antitheft devices, etc. impeding the formely straightforward installation of remote starters. I have a 2004 A/T sedan, and was thinking of putting my old Viper 800hf and 551t remote start combo on it, but wasn't sure how difficult it would be, since my skills may be a little rusty at this point. any tips or advice that might come in useful? Is there some sort of factory immobilizer I'd have to defeat? I'm also curious if the wire color chart was available anywhere, so I don't have to do it the old-fashioned way and test every wire. Thanks for any help.

 

if you haven't done much 12volt wiring before. DO NOT put yourself through the agony. Trust me, having done my own and helping Midnight with some of his wiring via email. He will vouche for it not being easy.
Best Buy might charge you on the high side due to it not being their product and they cannot give you a proper warranty due to unfamiliar product and they are not a dealer of the product. I'm telling you that because I've installed at a couple shops including a best buy partner and that's what I've always been told by supervisors.
As for wiring, I can get it to you feel free to send me a PM with your email and I'll scan it and send it to you

 

"The extras you need are a security system bypass module and a keylock module. You only need the keylock module if you do not want to run wires into the door. I actually have an extra keylock module for sale if you want to go that route."

Why would you need either of these module when the factory arm/disarm also lock/unlock the doors and are in the kick panel.

 

Where in the kick panel are the lock/unlock wires? According to the factory service manual (Page BL-26), the main door lock/window switch (one on the drivers door) uses serial communication to talk to the BCM. You have to tap the wires going into the window switch (which is inside the door, NOT the kick panel) to get the unlock/lock to work with standard alarm wiring. Unless you have something (like the XK02 module I'm referring to) that can do serial communication, you have to run the wires out to the switch inside the door. If you have an easier method, do tell! I'd love to not have wires running from the car to the door and have everything inside the cabin.

Also, tapping into the switch in the door allows you to do window roll-up/roll-down assuming your system can provide a continuous pulse on the lock/unlock wires.

 

I will pull paperwork tonight on g35 sedan/coupe 2003-2006 and post them up.

 

I apoligize to the fullest!!! It has been a hell of a three weeks since my old car got jacked and my head has been up my a**. You are correct, the wires do need to be gotten from the inside the door. I pulled paperwork on the cars I have done and it was a Camry that I did a alarm/remotestart/keyless on, not a G35. Believe I know there is a big difference on the two cars!!! I have just been wandering around in a fog at work trying to deal with the insurance company and did not get my car right. I had worked on a G35, but it was putting a sub in. As soon as I pulled the ticket for the car, the dreadful realization hit me. I need a vacation.

 

Don't worry about it. I thought for a second maybe someone found something I didn't. Oh well. Sorry to hear about your car. Christmas is coming, you should get a vacation then.

 

I wish. Working retail, it gets hectic sometimes. When spring comes, thats when I will take some time of to relax and kick back!!!
