2010 Nissan Murano - Remote Start Not Working Unless Key is in the Car

Question

I installed the EVO NIST-1 into a 2010 Nissan Murano with the Push-to-Start Button. I used the T-harness and the unit appears to have programmed properly. The car will remote start as long as the key is in the car. If the key isn't in the car it will not remote start. When I push the lock button three times, the lights and brake lights flash the same as if it the key were in the car, but the car doesn't start and the indicator on the dash says "No Key".

Answer 1

Make sure the t-harness connectors are fully inserted and you can redo the programming.

I've verified the t-harness connections and re-programmed the unit. I'm having the same issue where the car will not start unless the key is in close enough proximity. I do not have the hood pin installed and associated wire connected to it. Is it possible that this is preventing the car from starting?
