Living in canada this is almost a necessity. Does anyone have any recommendations? Was told by my dealer that it is not available as an OEM product. Have always had one on my other vehicles and it's very convenient in winter. Any recommendations?
Have you tested this? My inTouch app only has a picture of a car on the HOME screen. No option for remote start, unlock, etc.If you have the Navigation Package, your car comes with something called Infiniti InTouch (see https://www.infinitiusa.com/intouch...s/infiniti-intouch-services-requirements.html) , which offers Remote Engine Start/Stop:
INFINITI INTOUCH™ SERVICES[*]
Includes:
Automatic Collision Notification
Emergency Call
Enhanced Roadside Assistance
Report Stolen Vehicle
Alarm Notification[*]
My Schedule (Google Calendar)
Vehicle Health Report
Scheduled Maintenance Notification[*]
Maintenance Alert[*]
Remote Door Lock/Unlock
Remote Horn and Lights
Remote Engine Start/Stop
What's strange is that the QX30 is mentioned in the link. I have an Android phone and I have yet to install the app. I will let you know if the remote start works.Mine says "Remote Services are not available on QX30"
Yikes, that's disappointing. I was able to successfully install the app, but not register an account. Apparently I already have an account registered, but I don't recall creating an account. I suppose I'll have to get in touch with...Infiniti InTouch...to resolve this issue.I just called Infiniti and they confirmed that
Remote Door Lock/Unlock
Remote Horn and Lights
Remote Engine Start/Stop
are not available on any version of the QX30.
Thanks, Manny. It turns out they used an alternative email address for my account. I was able to log into the Owner's Portal to see what's what.Zee, if you gave your email info to the dealer, your account was created, you need to hit the SOS button in the car and confirm that it connects.
Are you able to ask him what he may be using? I checked with my installer and for sure the 2017 qx30 has no viper compatible parts.I had the Viper Smart Start in my old car and will be installing it in my 2018 QX30 by my professional. Since it is the summer and I am not in a rush to have it installed I wont have a proper response for a few weeks. But I will update once it's installed. My installer knows the car I have and hasn't mentioned any issues that might arise.
Great info RemRock. Any chance you could list the part numbers etc? Or send me PM if you prefer? I've been having such a tough time with this.The remote starter is made by Avital and I have the Viper Smart Start Module add-on. The key fob is Vital's and I use the Viper Smart Start app on my phone for long distances. My installer said both are made by the same company.
