Keyless Entry Recommendations?

I would like to install (or have installed) a remote keyless entry system (RKE) on my car. I do not want an alarm tho - just the RKE. Has anyone ever done this? If so, what brand did you choose and how do you like it so far?

I've installed many crimestopper units on maximas and other cars and had good luck with them and like the features. Check ebay for good deals

How do these systems work with the existing factory alarm in our cars?

these systems will work just fine with the factory "security" system
the CS-865 RKE II will run you $40 plus shipping.

They work fine. Maximas use a -ve trigger and most alarms are for +ve triggered cars. We need to use a relay to convert it into -ve.

The Crimestopper 865 has built-in relays, so that's great! All you will need is a RS resistor to put in the unlock wire to make it work correctly with our alarm. I almost bought a CS 845 a few months ago, but am glad I waited as now I have bought the 865. Waiting for weather here to improve a little so I can install it.

BTW, credit goes to Craig B for his help.

Did anyone figure out or do some investigating, about keyless entry key fobs for the '94 Maximas? I think someone said there was a control box under one of the front seats? I think the keyless was advertised in a '94 brochure, and for what it was worth, someone had a '94 pathfinder with keyless?

i remember that wires are at the computer in the middle below the radio on the floor for engine monitoring, and some others. most wires are below the drivers kick pannel (door unlock and trunk) some are at on the left side below the stearing wheel i think that is the factory alarm unit. not sure where the hood triger switch is, but you can install one if your system comes with aux hood or trunk switches, and it uses a negative ground signal so is easy to hook up with 1 wire..

Anyone ever heard of a company called 'Ultra Start'? They have a RKE auto-start (for manuals) that looks promising as well. I can't make-up my mind.... Too many choices!!
