It has a 2.0 petrol engine and automatic transmission. I would like to seek help concerning the immobiliser on the X-Trail (not sure if mine from Japan has it though) How can I know or maybe check that my X-Trail has or doesn't have an immobiliser? The exy came with two keys. One with a lock and unlock button on it. The other is a plain all metal key. Both keys are able to start the engine without any problem. And, I should mention that the security indicator light on the dashboard is always off. Thanks in advance.nondisclosed_email@example.com (labege)Tue, 17 May 2016 23:18:57 +0000 Re: Audible Factory Alarm Activationhttps://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p869868,from=rss#post869868https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p869868,from=rss#post869868quote:you will be happy to know that we have the second dearest key in Australia ... from memory it was around $140 Toyota rule in this area: our other car's a Tarago - we bought it used with only one remote fob+key and a valet key (no remote) (there should have been a second remote fob+key). Wanted a second key, was quoted $350. No way! Rang around half dozen auto sparkies and even a couple of "specialists" in Sydney, most couldn't help me when I said "2001 Toyota". I found one place (in Randwick) that could do it for $180 but they'd need the car as well as the existing key. i.e. they can't just duplicate the key! I haven't replaced the key yet, and am just hoping my wife doesn't lose or have stolen the main key - we're up for a $1500 engine computer replacement if that happens... Soooo, $140 sounds cheap :-) The thing that bugs me most about all this: a classic case of overdoing security. The "unbreakable" key means it costs me a small fortune to replace, yet I have every confidence a pro could still nick our Tarago. And joyriders would be (are) kept at bay by the lower security (cheaper!) keys as used in other models.

I was also reading a artical on the keys and you will be happy to know that we have the second dearest key in Australia to get programed so dont loose your key from memory it was around $140 Davenondisclosed_email@example.com (Dave4x4)Sun, 08 Jan 2006 20:54:54 +0000 Re: Audible Factory Alarm Activationhttps://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p869864,from=rss#post869864https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p869864,from=rss#post869864Jalal, Mine is a series I, TI, and did the same. Window down, doors locked by key lock, then flick the door lever open and opened the door. No Alarm... As per the Nissan Web-site (Australian) it looks that we don't have an alarm system but we do have an Engine Immobiliser. But get this.... Try This.... Window down, lock your doors with the keypad, insert your key in the ignition and turn. The Engine Starts... , what happened to the Engine Immobiliser??? What don't we have this also??? I think this is a question which needs to go to Nissan Australia to explain.nondisclosed_email@example.com (NPC73)Sun, 08 Jan 2006 20:34:44 +0000 Re: Audible Factory Alarm Activationhttps://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p869863,from=rss#post869863https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p869863,from=rss#post869863OK Guys, The factory alarm thing is driving me nuts now. I have just received confirmations from a Canadian and Mexican xtrailers saying their exy went crazy and sounded the horn (with lights flashing) as soon as they opened the door (with the window down) while their car was locked! What is going on? Is this another cost saving exercise by Nissan Australia for what could be considered the basics of car theft prevention???? Can someone else try this test and let us know? EDIT: UK xtrailers now also confirmed having the anti-theft alarm as standard!nondisclosed_email@example.com (jalalski)Sun, 08 Jan 2006 17:48:37 +0000 Re: Audible Factory Alarm Activationhttps://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p869862,from=rss#post869862https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p869862,from=rss#post869862Well what do you know? LOL After 3 years of having the exy, there are still new things I learn about it everyday I always thought that opening the door while the exy is locked would sound the horn and in fact I heard it doing that, but I guess my little boy was holding the remote and he must have pressed the panic button when this happened. Now that I tried what you suggested Adam and got the same result, I think the factory engine immobiliser and "panic" alarm are just complete crap and will not offer any sort of protection to our exy I was going to go into the details of the potential dangers involved and how easy it is to steal the exy here, but I wont, because I bet all of us get the picture now Forget about my question in this case, I'm now in the market for a new alarm for sure! I just consider myself lucky in the past 3 years and am not gonna push my luck anymore. Thanks Adam for this little test which has really surprised me and maybe it'll surprise others. nondisclosed_email@example.com (jalalski)Sun, 08 Jan 2006 14:43:25 +0000 Re: Audible Factory Alarm Activationhttps://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p869861,from=rss#post869861https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p869861,from=rss#post869861If you get a auto electrician to fit a relay to the wire that flash the indicators, it can be wired to beep your horn or even power a cheap piezo buzzer/chirper.nondisclosed_email@example.com (blackxtrailgt)Sun, 08 Jan 2006 14:18:15 +0000 Re: Audible Factory Alarm Activationhttps://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p869860,from=rss#post869860https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p869860,from=rss#post869860ok, I was right, no alarm on my car. I unlocked it, opened the drivers window, locked it, left it for over 30 secs, reached in and unlocked the door .... silence. Check out the specs for the Ti on the Nissan site .. quote: Keyless Entry with Panic Alarm Engine Immobiliser No mention of an alarm. If you have an alarm then it must have been added by the dealer or they stopped including it between you buying yours and me buying mine!! - Adam nondisclosed_email@example.com (Rybky)Sun, 08 Jan 2006 14:05:22 +0000 Re: Audible Factory Alarm Activationhttps://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p869859,from=rss#post869859https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p869859,from=rss#post869859Yep, that would be an alarm but I was always told there was not an alarm only immobiliser.

As far as I am aware my X-Trail only has an immobiliser and remote locking, no alarm. - Adamnondisclosed_email@example.com (Rybky)Sun, 08 Jan 2006 13:22:38 +0000 Audible Factory Alarm Activationhttps://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p869856,from=rss#post869856https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p869856,from=rss#post869856Hi Guys, This idea has been mentioned on another forum and it caught my attention, as I think it's worth exploring. My previous car (Toyota Camry) had a factory alarm system which was connected to the horn and when I pressed the door lock on the remote it beeped 1 time to indicate that all doors have been locked and 2 times to indicate that all doors have been unlocked. This was in a addition to the visual indication of the flashing lights we now have on our exy. The audible alarm activation was an option the driver could set or disable in the Camry using the remote. I think this would be excellent to have with the exy too (if possible) as I had situations where I had a complete mind block and had to walk back to the car (15 mins walk where I park it at work) just to make sure that I did lock it. I know that the exy has a feature where it auto-locks after about 5 mins if you disable the alarm and don't open any door, but this is not the case when you're inside the car and stop to park. My question is: Has anybody explored this option before and do you think it can be done? The solution doesn't mean adding an aftermarket alarm upgrade system which has this capability, rather using the existing factory set-up to make the alarm activation audible. nondisclosed_email@example.com (jalalski)Sun, 08 Jan 2006 08:39:34 +0000
