Maybe it's for the best
So I am a new 2016 Rogue owner and I love it. When I made my agreement, however, I asked for a starter. Prior to signing, I was told it would be a Nissan OEM part (by the gentleman filling out the agreement) after signing, the more knowledgeable salesman informed me of what we all know to be true, that this isn't possible. It will in fact be an aftermarket starter, but it won't affect my warranty. I have been checking investigating, and unfortunately, no one from Nissan will help find an OEM solution. The Altima is the exact same engine, so I don't understand why they can't just throw an Altima remote start module into the Rogue and swap out the fobs. Since they don't seem willing to do this, I will push to make sure the starter has smart phone connectivity at least. Then I will be able to lock, unlock, start, stop, and track my car from my phone. No nissan connect membership required. This seems ultimately better in the long run anyway. No extra fob, no range limit, and no membership fees! Maybe I should be thanking nissan for leaving the Rogue out of the OEM remote start group.
