    Does anyone know how much it would cost to install this in a 08 ES? My fiance just got a new 09 Altima and it has that option...now I'm jealous... :D

    Forget it.
    I have this feature in my test car, I drive around with it about 3 weeks till I´ve got mine, and it made many problems.
    Maybe they made an update to improve it, but I think it´s not worth the money.

    Before I forget it, at the keyless system you have no key to start the car.
    On the spot were you normal put in your key, there is not lock, there is just a knob.
    So it might be very expensive it install it.

    ^ my '09 has it... no problems here... it's prob gona be expencive cause not only is their a know on the ignition but theirs a button on the drivers and passenger door hanndle and also a button on the trunk... so i would think it would be to much to be worth it... but by all means find out and let the LT community know... good luck hope u prove me wrong...

    if you didnt get it factory installed it'll probably cost alot
    first its wired into everything the trunk has a push button.
    the drivers and passenger doors both have a button to set the locks and a sensor on the handles themselves to unlock it keyless style.
    drivers side also has the only keyhole on the outside .

    and yes the ignition does have a knob however-----the knob is removable there are 2 little buttons on the sides and it pops roght off and ABRACADABRA / HOCUS POCUS a keyhole appears.

    lol hope this helps you out in some way.

    like said above, you'll probably have to pay out the ass for it to be added on now.

    The factory installed FAST key system also detects when the key is in the car and everything too.

    yea i have it and love it, it kinda annoys me that its harder to get a aftermarket system with auto start. but u think it would be alot just cause it does soo much

    yeah it is going to cost alot like these guys said you have an additional harness from the ignition to the car ecu also to sensors for the key onside the car . you also need 3 sensors fro the out side of the car 2 for the front doors and 1 for the trunk plus the cutting on all 3 and repainting for them dude it is alot of work. i love my fast key and the rest of the test package i got with my 08 but it is one of those options if i didnt get from the factory than screw that.
