I am very close to buying a 2007 Maxima to replace my current 2000. The 2007 has an aftermarket remote start already installed. The dealer said they would "rip it out" unless I wanted to keep it. I don't see any reason not to keep it, as it seemed to work fine, but when I looked on this forum, the wiring seemed pretty complicated to put something in. The dealership did not have it installed, it came with the car as a trade in. I will eventually want remote start, but I am a bit nervous about the existing setup.

I'm not sure what brand it is. The dealer told me it was a predator, but I can't find anything online that matches what I saw. The fob seemed to have one button and looks like a plastic key.

I'm trying to figure out which is riskier. Leaving the remote start in place or having the dealer remove it and have someone else install something I know. I know which is cheaper

Any advice or suggestions?

Thanks!

 

Your query cannot be answered by anyone else but yourself.

 

I'd say leave it in. Take it to Best Buy or another remote start shop and see what they think.

 

Its easy just to pull the panel down and see how it looks

professional or just wires twisted together like crap

 

just keep it.
