They even mentioned that the warranty will void if installing remote start causes any issues with the electrical system.

Is there anyone who has installed remote start and if yes could you please share your experience.

Thanks
A dealer cannot legally "void a warranty". What they can do is deny a specific warranty claim *if* they determine your mod caused/contributed to the problem.

e.g. - I install a new sway bar.
If my end links break, they can deny to fix that under warranty.
If my A/C unit implodes, they cannot deny that warranty claim due to the sway bar mod as they're not even remotely related.

  • I live on the third floor of an apartment building, so it's a lot more effort than just walking outside.
  • Given where I live, I would need to walk down, start the car, leave the fob in the car, lock the car with the other fob, go upstairs, etc. (I'm assuming if the fob is taken out of the PTS, it will shut the engine off?)
It's a convenience factor, like most things in life
You do not have to leave the fob in the car. Start the car, lock the doors. The car will just complain that it has no key when you come back (making driving away impossible if you don't have the fob with you when you come back.) Our infiniti's have quite the intelligent system.

No so intelligent system....you can drive away without the fob. The thief would not be able to turn the car back on if he or she turns it off but can def drive away. Still i do the same thing you do lol.

A remote starter is not an issue in the G37, coupe or sedan, as long as it's installed properly. You do not need to lose a key.

Takeover works flawlessly, you unlock the vehicle, open the door, get in, close the door, and hold down the brake for a few seconds, the lights on the push to start button will go to ACC then ON as it senses your key. Once it's lit to ON you can drive away. If the key isn't sensed the car will shut off.

It's not an install I would recommend to a DIY'er as the G37 electrical system is a lot more complicated than your standard Honda's, Toyota's, etc, but an experienced installer can do it without a problem, particularly if they know these cars well.

Yes, if anyone else wants to PM me as well I'd be happy to provide quotes, I don't want to violate any forum/sponsorship policies in this thread.

No, it just requires sensing a key for key takeover (to drive away).

If installed properly, no, someone cannot drive away with your car while it's running after it was remote started unless the car senses the key.

Matt. Can you recommend an installer in Columbus Ohio ? And what brand do you use and can you use the factory fob like exampled above?

I'm from Minneapolis as well. I have a friend who does these, but he lives down in Rochester. His prices start at $200 and go up depending on what you want in the key fob and whatnot. It might actually be $250 for our car since it's a push button start, not sure.

Like everyone else in this thread said, it all depends on the installer. Remote starts are kind of tricky to install and can definitely go bad if someone does it poorly.
