Car Alarms: Car start bypss, nissan sentra, dash area


Question
I have a Nissan Sentra.To start the vehicle I need to insert the ignition key ,turn it on then press any key on my remote start and turn ignition key to start.If this unit where to fail I wouldn't be able to start my car.I have been told that there probably is a bypass switch to disable this feature allowing me to start my car.Any idea where this switch would be?

Answer
It's badly installed Fred.
I suggest STRONGLY that you
get this to a technician as soon as possible
for inspection and re do the wiring.

Bypassing it is not the issue I don't think,
it seems that the installer did not set up the
main wiring correctly.

If you do need to reset to see if it works,
try this:

Look under the dash area for a button or, a toggle
switch. When you locate it, turn on the ignition
key, press and hold in the button (little
spring loaded micro button, red or black possibly)
until the alarm chirps 1 time. This should over ride
the system, and only the keyless entry part,
if installed, would still be operating.
The LED (light emiting diode) light in the dash
should also go on solid.

At this point. the alarm would have reset.

I still think you need to have it looked at.
Let me know what they discover here.
