2008 Infiniti G35x - Car will start but cannot turn off with remote

Question

I installed the EVO-NIST1 (standalone with T-Harness), and it is working fine. However, I cannot turn off the car with either remote (RF kit or OEM keyfob). I had installed the Fortin RF kit , because the manual states that 3x start is not compatible with the 2008 G35. For whatever reason, it actually works fine! When I press the lock button, I see a blue flash on the EVO unit.

Why would I be able to start the car but not turn it off? Is there something specific that I need to do? I'm not sure how to troubleshoot the problem. I appreciate any suggestions.

Answer 1

Working as intended :)

Fortin does not list the 2007-2008 G35/Altima with 3x Lock Start / Stop as being compatible since the module cannot monitor the oem lock-unlock commands through the can-bus for those years. Should work fine to start it though as you saw. Since there is no way to stop the vehicle an RF-KIT is required.

 

To stop the vehicle with the Fortin remotes, you need to press the [-] button then press the start button for 3 seconds. Page 4 of the user manual has some handy information about this: https://fortin.ca/download/25991/f20141224_ftx64-2w_ang.pdf    (some features will only available with the evo-one)
