Thinking about getting an alarm installed and was looking at the Viper 5902. I've been trying to search and I am getting all sorts of info weather or not I need to lose one key or not for the install. Is that only needed if I wanted remote start? Since I am 6mt, didn't think I should have that feature anyways. What I was planning to get along with the base alarm was tilt, auto glass break sensors, and backup battery. Any feedback on the backup battery siren or field disturbance sensor? Thanks

The key or security bypass is only need for remote start. You can safely add a remote start to a manual car - especially considering the G35 has a built in Neutral Safety Switch.

Other then that the added extras depend on what you are trying to protect against. I've never been a fan of the tilt sensors or the glass break sensors. I have always like the back up battery sirens, especially compared to the backup batteries alone. The key to the back up battery siren is to install it in a place that can not easily be accessed.

 

Skip the proximity sensor, skip the tilt sensor. If you really need remote start then you can have it safely installed in a G35 using the newer Alarms/remote starts. I would do Backup battery / siren, install the brains behind the speedometer cluster. You will only loose a key when you get a universal remote start bypass. Ask your installer about xpresskits bypass since those should be able to function without keys only needed for programming.

Thanks for the info, so considering the installer is pretty familiar with clean installs, they should be able to do the remote start on my manual car tapping into the Neutral Safety Switch? I guess I'll skip the backup stand alone battery and opt for the backup battery siren. Also, any reason as to why you don't prefer installing the tilt or glass break sensors? Im curious. Thanks again!

 

Thanks for the info! Do you happen to know which kit I would need to purchase? I'm a little confused. Thanks again!

 

All you need is the Xpress module ($70 can be purchased at Bestbuy), thats where i got mine installed. And...if you already have the 5902, then you should be good to go.

 

I like to keep the alarm as simple as possible with absolutely no false alarms. The more sensors you add, the more false alarms you'll get.

The glass break sensor will only set the alarm off 2 seconds sooner (assuming they will open the door after they break the glass).

The tilt sensor may not be a bad idea if you have aftermarket wheels and no wheel locks. Personally, I would recommend a good set of wheel locks though.

Your installer, unless they are very familiar with Nissans, probably won't know that the car has a factory NSS or where it is located in the vehicle. Nissan calls them P/NP switches and they are at the ECU. You'll need the service manual for your specific year to find the color of the wire as the installer more then likely won't have access to that type of information. More then likely you're installer will try to sell you on a remote start made specifically for manual transmissions that make you perform certain steps when you exit the vehicle to enable the remote start.

 

so with the express module, you didn't have to lose one of you keys? thanks

 

Okay I see what you're saying. I'll call and ask if they are familiar with it and if they can install the remote start using the NSS. Thanks again
