Reactivate Immobilizer System?

nogoodname · 06-01-2009, 01:18 PM

wo wo wo...hold the phone.

the immobilizer comes with the 370z, maxima....and it's an option for the altima...i think

the extra thing to pay is a shock alarm...... so, if someone kicks or hits ur car...it rings....Nissan added that in after the 08 G37 because ppl need a shock sensor...it's still an option and not standard equipment.

could that be what the dealer was talking about.???

Ok, thanks guys for the info. So, it could be the shock alarm that they are talking about if that's an option. They wanted $500 to keep it activated, and I said, "No, I already agreed on a price, and I'm not paying anymore." So, after a bit they came back and said they'd keep it on for an extra $229. I said no again and then he did that sit in it and "deactivated" something. So, I'm not sure what's up. No one has encountered this huh? Maybe that's what happens when you get the base model.

There is no reference in the service manual to a "shock Alarm" or any procedures to activate/deactivate.

I think your dealer was just attempting a Money Grab. Good you said no..

Thanks for all the replies. It was Schaier's Nissan in Long Beach. I really liked them except for the alarm thing. We were in and out in 2.5 hours and they treated us pretty decent.
I've started the car with the key and then had a friend run like 20 yards away and nothing happened. Not sure if that's normal or not. And the car wasn't in motion. Just parked and on. I'd like to have a nicer alarm system, but didn't want to pay all that extra for it.

The Corvette guys are always starting their cars, leaving the fob on the workbench and driving to Granma's. The embarrassment comes when they need to call home for someone to bring the fob for the restart...

Hey guys, my first post. I just got back to New Mexico from California where I. Ought my 2011 touring sport. I am replacing my 2003 g35. But I digress. The dealer wanted 900 for this extra security system. I also said no way and they came back with a cheaper price (did the same with the extended warranty which I also said no to because I know I can get it cheaper). The dealership was in El Cajon Ca. I bought this car so far away from home because it was pristine and still has 8 months of original 36 k/3 year warranty. The only hemmed was that it only came with 1 smart key fob. Will be making a separate post on that as well
