The key is mounted in a black box somewhere under the dash. Purchase of this remote start will come with a video of a step by step process on how to install. Installation should not take more than 2 hours after watching the video... The PIC below is what the wiring harness will look like.

When you say we have to give up a valet key or master key, are you saying that one of my master keys will no longer function because it has to be used by the device?
I like this mod not because of the capability to start the car remotely to cool down the car, but simply the "wow" cool factor! :thumbup"

As of right now, hopefully we will be able to set up a meeting this Sat. If everything goes well, I will keep everyone posted about group buy info. Thanks

Hameed, the statement up above was sent to me from Luxury Motor Works..... They will need to program a key (cut or uncut) so that the immobilizer will reconize a signal before starting your car... I just used my valet key since I never use it.....

Hey Ken ,
reading through this thread (not to mention other threads of urs) , one can really tell how much dedication you put towards this forum. Excellent work on finding this for us, I will definately be purchasing one as soon as the aftermarket add-on to the factory alarm is finished and released...ive been wondering when something like this would be possible and this thread just answered it....
your hard work is much appreciated bro...thanks.

Looking forward to having this type of feature. 
A much needed mod, especially now when the temp. has been around 98-103 degrees for the past week!
and it's not even August yet! when things start heated up for days on end!
Props for your effors!

This is a very high quality unit. I am one support this product since it's been a great feature option for the IS platform for a while now. The crew at LMW are very honest and very helpful. Ken...I may swing by. I'll let you know soon.

My stock master key range is very poor. Even with a new battery, I need to be within 5-10 feet to unlock the doors.

now i'm wondering what the max range is?
i live in seattle and had a remote start on my old car 95 camry and loved it. worked great to either get car warm (winter) or cool on the rare hot days here.
i would be very interested in getting a couple of these.

On the other hand the remote of my wifes 97 Maxima SE works probably at least 50 - 75 feet away from the car!! Awesome remote I must say.

I HAVE THIS UNIT INSTALLED AND IT WERKS LIKE A CHARM SO FAR IT HAS 3SEC DELAY and turns off in 10 minutes in case you forget so i would recommend it to anyone install was pretty easy but you must have some time but a piece of cake.

Hey LXOGOOD...
Thanks for this great find!! I have a quick question...will LMW be selling the remote start and alarm as a package together or just seperately. If its seperately, I would like to go ahead and at least buy the remote start for my IS. Could you please send me some info on how to contact them. I live in Washington so they would need to ship it out to me and if it's as simple to connect as it sounds I'll just install it myself!
Thanks in advance!!

If my valet key is in the transponder does that mean that I lose my immobilizer ? Will the car always think that there is a key in the ignition? Is there anyway to extend the range of the key like they have on aftermarket alarms with a range extender?
