Heres a good tech question

Who knows the difference as to why the 99-00s cant use a 1100F, but the 01-up can? Ive done two 1100F's so far at work, and while they are a kind of a b|tch to program, itd be nice to have the option.

 

Follow up question...

Anyone done a 1100F on a nissan yet? Any issues? As much of a pain to program as it was on the Expedition I did the other day?

 

P.S. Don is pretty much the only one I expect to have input here...because mendon uses bypasskit.com. Anyone else here work at a shop?

 

Ive only used the 555/556Us. Ive read a few negs about the 1100s on the DEI forums, so Ill wait til bugs are cleared first.

Bypasskit/expresskits are nice.

 

So you tried a few Don? cool.

are the 556U's the DEI key box's? i cant remember.

 

yes I have

and

yes they are

 

wont the 1100 F need a software change to function correctly? And do they even have software for nissan maximas ?

 

They come out of the box working for Fords, but you can flash them for other models if you have a cable from DEI that hooks the unit to USB. I believe they have all the software out for the car makes below. Theres a full compatibility list on Directechs, and its supposed to work on maximas 01-up.
