GXE Keyless Entry
I followed the following instructions found in a post by Daniel B. Martin, and discovered that I do not have the option for remote keyless entry.
My question is:
Is it possible to get the parts necessary to activate the keyless entry system, and just "plug and play"?
If so, how much should it be?
This reponse is based on information from the '99 Maxima factory service manual. I'm hoping your '96 is wired the same way.
The manual refers to the keyless remote feature as the Multi-Remote Control System. It uses a Multi-Remote Control Relay. Look to see if your car has this relay.
1) Open the trunk. Remove the trunk compartment floor carpet and the fiberboard spare tire cover. These are removed with your hands; no tools are required.
2) Remove the cardboard trunk trim which surrounds the latch mechanism. The five plastic fasteners which secure it are quarter-turn latches and come loose easily when turned with a Phillips head screwdriver.
3) Look at the area of the trunk latch mechanism, made visible by removal of the the trim panel. Locate electrical connector T5. This is a brown plastic connector with 6 terminal positions. If your Maxima does not have the keyless entry feature you will find connector T5 taped up so it does not rattle, but with no relay plugged into it.
4) Reinstall all the trim you removed.
This whole operation should take three minutes.

I'm sure it's possible, but don't you think it would be easier to add an aftermarket alarm system with this feature? That should be no more than $150 installed.

Is the Viper 500ESP a good system?

You're probably right. I was just looking on ebay for alarms.
