Hey guys, it's getting cold in michigan and my g/f wants a remote starter for her car. I've been kinda hesitant on getting one, though cuz my sister has one on her 97 honda passport. Anyway, everytime you start it and drive off, the transmission is really jerky. However, when you shut it off, take the key out and start it again ONLY using the key, it shifts fine. So, I was just wondering if anybody has ever experienced this in their B15. Also, what's a good inexpensive remote starter? Any info would be great. Thanks guys.
One thing you might want to think about is if you have the immobilizer (I assume you're talking about remote start on a b15, correct me if I'm wrong), you have to have a key with the computer chip in it hidden in a locked box right by the ignition, so it thinks the key is there and it will start. Unfortunately doing this will completely bypass the immobilizer part of the alarm and make the car easier to steal. Factory remote starts have a way of incorporating this into the security system, but I don't believe any aftermarket ones do.
either that or its just the cold weather, '02 six speeds are notorious for their jerkyness especially cold weather. plus they take forever to heat up. and if you have the vehicle immobilizer system, find out what the installers did to bypass it. the immobilizer thing has something to do with the tranny i think.
I was looking into getting a remote starter too. I have a 00' sentra and i have a remote starter but i dont have an alarm so the alarm part doesnt really apply to me.... anyway, i was wondering if they are easy to install or not?
I hear ya on the install. But I have from now till christmas to install it. I think I would like to give it a try. Where did you get your sentra wiring diagrams? Just a hanes/chilton's manual?

That has nothing to do with his problem, that only deals with the factory security system. His problem is the cold weather, i say try using a different tranny fluid something that will help in the cold(Redline maybe).

um, he was asking about remote starts, how does a response dealing with the incorporation of a remote start into the factory security system have nothing to do with what he was asking?
