switchblade & remote starters
I did a few searches and only thing came up was a thread started that asked the same questions I am asking here, but nobody replied to it. On my keychain I have the key, remote starter, which has all the functions of the stock keyless remote besides the memory for settings.
I was wondering if the remote starter can somehow be integrated into the switchblade key that is so popular.

I too am curious if there is a remote started that intergarates with the stock key. Like for instance recieves 3 unlock commands it starts the car....seems easy enough....just the dang microchip in the key to overcome....enzyme how does your remote start work with the security chipped key...Do you have the spare key hidden somewhere in the car?

Don't feed the...WTF?
The only way to get this done would be to get a different remote start. You can buy the remots starts that allow you to keep the original keyfob, and you just hold like the lock and unlock buttons at the same time. Not sure of the exact combination, but it's something along the lines of that.
The reason that we can use the switchblade keys is because we are already getting them modded for our cars, so you would have to mod a modded key which I don't think could happen for the purpose you want.
The only other option (which nobody would have an answer for until you tried it yourself) - would be to take the internals out of the OEM switchbalde, and put your remote start internals into the case, and hoping the bottons either line up already, or that you could modify the "push points" in the switchblade to press the corresponding keys for the remote start.
Either way though, it dont look good.

I have really considered getting this done on my TL but there is one thing that is stopping me, this may not be that important to you but I like the chirp my TL makes when I hit the lock button the second time, If I got this remote start on it I would not be able to hear this chirp acknowledgement because I would be starting the car by hitting the lock button twice? make sense? On my maxima, it beeps after I hit the lock button once, but not on my TL What do you guys think? Hope this info helped.

It is possible, but you have to be close to the vehicle for it to even pick up the signal. What is the purpose of that then? I would rather have the car start up from a further distance so it is warmed and ready once I get to the car.
