Start-X Remote Car Starter for Nissan Frontier 2008-2019 Models

Ryan: Directions for install are not super clear, but if you just match the plug ends, it works out

Loud: Super easy install!! Took a little longer than they suggested as I'm a bit more precise about placing wires and such. I would suggest removing the panel above your legs to have more room to work & more light. I've used this through the entire winter 22'-23' and have had no issues!! Hopefully that will be the case until it's time to move into another truck!
This was installed in my 2016 Nissan Frontier 6cyl 4x4.

Gary Bungay: This was very easy to install. Food the video carefully and you are all set.
Works great!!

Darin Colvey: The kit is complete, very well-made, and easy to install. My particular application was a 2009 Frontier SE 6 Cyl, fairly basic. This plug-and-play kit is pretty straightforward forward, with the most difficult aspect being the unclipping of plugs. You'll definitely want to remove the kick panel under the steering wheel, as others have mentioned. If you can follow instructions, you can install this kit. The instructions aren't great, but between the review comments and instructions, anyone can figure it out. Also, plugs only fit in a specific manner. As for programming, again, just follow the instructions. Worked perfectly, even adding two additional fobs.

FYI, I have the trailer brake kit as well, and it was a simple integration with the supplied harness. Easy peasy and worth the cheesy.

An angry customer.: Figured it would work on an Xterra since they're the same platform, but couldn't find a concrete answer. It worked perfectly, took 5 minutes to install and I love not needing another remote. Had to bypass the clutch switch unfortunately, but that is not the fault of this product.

Francois M.: I found the instructions useless. They do provide a link to a video that was OK. The starter works perfectly!

Brandon: Bought this for my 2016 Frontier Pro4x. As most reviews have said, you don't have to remove the panel below the steering wheel but it makes it waaaay easier. I likely would have taken 30-60 minutes if I had realized I was trying to plug the T-harness into the wrong plug on the BCM. I was attempting to plug into the vertical plug and I should have been using the horizontal plug at the top of the BCM. Hint: the colour of the T-harness plug matches the factory plug (black). Because it's black I didn't see it up in the shadows under the dash. The customer service team is great and was able to get me back on track though and it works exactly as advertised now.

Tech25Tech25: I read a few reviews, watched the video several times and read the manual and honestly, this wasn't to difficult to install. If you ever installed a radio in your car you have the skill to do this install. Hope that gives you a reasonable comparison of the skill necessary to install this remote starter. It took me about 45 minutes to physically install the unit. It took me another 15 minutes to program it because I screwed up the programming. Don't make the same mistake I did. Step 8 in the install booklet says to WAIT for the rapidly flashing yellow LED. It can take MINUTES. I think it took maybe 2-3 minutes. BE PATIENT! In my case I failed to wait long enough. I just reset the unit to default according to the instruction manual and repeated the re-programming and it worked just fine the second time.
Yes, you can probably install this without removing the lower dash cover but the lower dash panel is incredibly easy to remove on a 2017 Frontier. I can't help but think this would be the same for several model years before and after. It took me 3-5 minutes to remove the lower dash cover which made things way easier. Panel removal also exposes horizontal brackets on the left and...

James M: I youtubed a video on how to install this. The instructions are not in the right order; i'd go about disconnecting everything from the vehicle that you intend to tie into the t-harnesses prior to going about connecting everything, ESPECIALLY that BCM connector! But once all programmed this works great! Immobilizer works and starts up remotely every morning. There is something going around about airbag issue when opening passenger door first; I have had this for a month now and have not experienced this (and I regularly open the passenger side first to let my dog jump in). All in all, I installed this in about an Hour (would have been 15 minutes if I didn't spend 45 minutes trying to not break the BCM connector).

Keith L.: I give the Remote-X 5 stars and don’t know what more I could add that hasn’t already been said. Rather than repeating the positive things others have written, I thought sharing a few pointers on the installation may be more helpful for some. For reference, my Frontier is a 2016. Other years may be slightly different, so your experience may vary slightly.

Lower Dash Panel - As advertised, and as others have reported, the kit can be installed without the removal of panels. On some vehicles it would take longer to remove a panel than to install the kit. However, this is not the case on the Frontier. Personally, I found the 5 additional minutes it took to remove and replace the lower dash panel paid dividends. Panel removal also exposes a horizontal brace that allows you to securely and neatly fasten the module and wires to. If you’re the type that likes to cuss, welcomes a challenge, feeling a little flexible and “froggy” and pain is your thing, then please skip this part and knock your lights out. For the rest of you, read on.
The panel is secured by two screws and clips. One screw on the top left is hidden behind trim. Start by pulling back the top of the...
