If he doesn't pick up, leave him a message. He might be working on a car or something.

He recently installed my AVIC-F90BT with the tvandnav2go mod. He also did my alarm/remote start. He carries CLIFFORD..which is the same as Viper. He can get viper if you really want viper. If you are stick shift, he knows of a way to SAFELY do it using all the oem wires. Nissan/Infiniti's have built in neutral switches which makes this possible.

Whoever you choose to do the install tell them up front that you want to see their work before they put the car back together - this little trick will typically get you a bit nicer of an install as 99.9% of customers don't think to inspect the work before taking the car from the shop.

When you take a look at the work, the main things to look for are:

no boxes should be easily visible from under the dash
all wires should be routed in a clean, OEM like manner
all connections should be securely made (I prefer soldering, but some people crimp)
General craftsmanship

 

Lol why is newegg on the list? They are just a warehouse.

 

Thank you so much for the info. I will give him a shout tomorrow.

Thank you for your good advice.

I will ask if I can take pictures of their work so I can recommend their shop if needs be.

 

Great points Kevin. You should also gimme a call about your products.

 

I look forward to the call and pictures are more than welcome.

 

Due to many issue with remote starter installs damaging the BCM on cars with keyless ignitions I would ask for a warranty on the BCM. Probably will not get one.

 

This is simply due to a poor install. Done right nothing to the BCM or any other part of the vehicle is affected.

 

Part of this depends on the use of a hidden key located in the vehicle or if one is completely bypassing the keyless ignition for a remote start. The starter relay is directly controlled from the BCM along with a few other items.

If you have a hidden key then the BCM gets involved since the key speaks to the BCM through the keyless receiver. Other things come into play such as the normal functions of not allowing you to lock your key in the car. If you don't have the key in the car then the BCM has to be told that everything is made up in the way of thinking a key is in the car.

Much of the rest is simple switch bypassing stuff but still is at the BCM, TCM level.

 

The key (RF portion) is in the vehicle, but not powered until remote start is activate. Same as being in the vehicle with it. No confusion for the BCM since it is never transmitting with the exception of start.

Like I said, failure would result from an inexperienced installer/poor install.

 

Don, you should probably say HOW you know this....BECAUSE YOU HAD A G Sedan with the Intelligent Key.

Minor detail...

 

This is true Jeff, forgot about that part for a minute.
