🚗 How to Install a Remote Start in a 2015-2020 Nissan Murano

Installing a remote start system in your Nissan Murano can provide you with added convenience and comfort. With a remote start, you can warm up or cool down your vehicle before getting inside, making it perfect for those hot summers or chilly winters. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the installation process, from disassembling the necessary components to programming the remote start system. So let's get started and give your Nissan Murano the upgrade it deserves!

Introduction

Before we begin, let's take a moment to understand what a remote start system does and why it's beneficial for your Nissan Murano. A remote start allows you to start your vehicle's engine from a distance, using a remote control. This means you can start your car, lock/unlock doors, and even adjust the temperature without physically being inside the vehicle.

Tools needed for installation

To successfully install a remote start system in your Nissan Murano, you will need the following tools:

1. Philips screwdriver
2. Pry tool
3. Magnetic tip screwdriver
4. Taps
5. Wire connectors
6. Flash link software (downloaded and updated)

Gather these tools before proceeding with the installation.

Disassembly procedure

Before we can access the necessary components for the installation, we need to disassemble certain parts of the vehicle. Follow these steps carefully to ensure a smooth disassembly process:

1. Tilt walk release: Start by releasing the tilt lock at the bottom of the steering wheel column and lower the steering wheel down.
2. Removal of top panel: Locate the top panel above the instrument cluster and firmly pull it up and out to remove it.
3. Removing screws on the instrument cluster: Identify and remove the two screws at the top of the instrument cluster using a Philips screwdriver.
4. Removing screws on the steering column: Turn the steering wheel to the left and remove the screw on the left side of the steering column. Repeat the process for the screw on the right side of the column.
5. Loosening small panels on the steering column cover: Pull the steering wheel outward and use a pry tool to loosen the small panels on each side and the top of the steering column cover. This will allow you to remove the instrument cluster and the cover for the top of the steering column.

Stay tuned for the next steps in the installation process, where we will access the ECU and wire the remote starter.
