Installing Remote Start - where's the alarm brain??
 

Anyone? Anyone? Where does Nissan keep the stock alarm computer?

Tried searching but uhh.... Heh.

Thanks,

Jacob

i vaguely remember somebody saying it was in the trunk somewhere on the passenger side...

unlocking.
*5 The ECM is located in the front of the center console on the
transmission hump. The wiring is easily reached by removing the small black
panel just to the front of the center console on the passenger side. the
wire is in the middle row, 7th one in from the left.
*6 The ignition harness wires change color at a plug. The above listed
colors show both sides of the plug.

Open the jack compartment and look inside, you'll see it.

can i wire both Accessory #1 and #2 using 1 wire from the alarm?
