Hi, I'm new to the forums. I lurk mostly..

Anyways, I broke my old intelligent key remote and was looking around for a place to program an uncut remote I got off eBay.

I read around that auto locksmiths are usually cheaper than the dealerships.

So I was wondering does anyone know of a place

Thanks in advance

 

Locksmiths can not program an intelligent key. Only Nissan / Infiniti dealers can. They will use a laptop with CONSULT 3 software AND special access codes that only dealers can get. The CAR will be programmed to accept up to four intelligent keys at a time.

 

Ok. Thank you for everything. Much appreciated.

 

OR you can get an uprev reflash/ tune and just disable NATS. Plus you'll get a car that runs better, makes more power, and can do cool stuff like map switching.

 

I had a locksmith program my key no problem. But I did have an Osiris tune I have no idea what they did though.

 

They wouldn't have turned off NATS unless you specifically asked for it

 

This is not correct. I am a locksmith and I have the ability to pair intelli-keys to cars. You just need the correct equipment

 

So I emailed OC Infiniti since they are the closest dealership just to see what the price would be. And I was quoted at $131.40 to get a brand new remote. The price is the same if I bring in my own remote... >.<

 

Hi, i'm having a similar problem. I actually purchased a new intelligent Key+ FOB from dealer today and was hoping to program it myself or have locksmith do it. I called a few places and they quoted me ~ 150 for locksmith reprogram. Dealer is the same plus tow. What is NATS and how can i disable it? I have no way of starting the car. Just a brand new fob and a cut key.

Thanks

 

No can do.. You'll need to pay to have it done.

 

Locksmith won't be able to program intelligent key.You probably visit the dealer , they will program such keys for you as they have the software installed in their and they then program it from there.

 

I had a local locksmith do the fob programming and cut a key for my 2007. Piece of cake for him to do in about 15 minutes in my driveway. He told me that the cheap keys on e-bay will not work and that a used key will not be programmable every time. I spent about $45 for the fob and blank key from a site he recommended. (something like keylessremote.com) Told me stories of people remotes from e-bay that cost like $9.99, ya get what ya pay for. He turned out to be my neighbor and did the programming for free. Nice.

 

Choosing the dealer for programming an intelligent key is a good option, but they charge more than enough for their work.Visit dealer at that time when you have no other option to do.Locksmith can also cut and program those keys, i always prefer them to repair or replace locks, keys as their charges are comparable and less than dealers and they work the same as the dealer does.So i recommend to be the better option for fob programming.

 

Where to program the Nissan Key , the dealer or the ? Please share your thoughts.

 

Whoever will do it for a better price.
