Remote Start

[Sookie]

Anyone know if it is possible to add a remote start capability for the 2007 NAH. The dealer that I got it from doesn't recommend installing one and wouldn't provide any information on whether one is available. Two or three of the third party installers have said that it can't be done as there is no bypass module for the 2007 NAH. One 3rd party fellow said it could be done but in retrospect I think he was shooting from the hip (lip).

However I understand that there is a factory option for a remote starter for the TCH. Since the NAH uses the same hybrid synergy drive, I would think that it might be possible to do one for the NAH.

One scarey part in discussing a possible installation with the 3rd party guys is that they say they would hook up the wire to the starter motor (like they normally do for a non-hybrid installation). I don't know for sure but that doesn't sound right to me. I would think that, once the appropriate bypass module is located, all that they would need to do is turn on the hybrid system and let it take over control over whether the ICE starts or not.

Any leads or info that you might have on remote starters would be appreciated.

I was able to get remote start installed by my dealer (although they just outsource it). They used Automate (by Directed Electronics) AM6.2 which can be had for a reasonable price (<$100 for the kit). Labor is probably the killer, it took a good part of the day for the shop to do it. It covers all the basics for a remote start. Although instead of waiting for RPM levels to stabilized by syncing with the tach signal (as most remote start systems do), it triggers completion on a high voltage level, indicating the hybrid system has initialized. Not sure on the rest of the specifications and the integration with the security and engine immobilizer but obviously do-able. The system works with a separate remote but I'm looking into having the system learn radio signal from the Intelligent-Key since I really don't need the 1000ft range.

Where can I get one if it works on 2008 prius

I have remote start on my Nissan Altima hybrid 2010.

How did you get it? Dealer installed? Make & model of the starter? I just purchased a 2011 altima hybrid and can't find anyone to intalls remote starters in this model. HELP!!!
