Remote start with chipped key
I have a 99 Maxima with remote start. The car uses a chipped key or vehicle immobilizer.
I wanted to know how that works. Is there a key in the ignition to make the car start? That was what I was told when I bought the car, but I haven't looked behind the ignition or anything yet.
I lost my only other key and don't want to pay Nissan $100+ to have another key made. I have a courtesy key, where now I have to use the remote start to start the car, then put the key in to drive.
If I just try to start the car with the courtesy key, it turns on then off in like 2 seconds.
