I don't got soldering skills. I'll have to pass on this even though its something i would like to do.

 

Thanks

 

anyone willing to do this for me?

 

i really want to do this but I'm scared I'm going to f it up

 

someone wanna do mine?

 

hey fellas,

I just got my infiniti fob. gonna do the swap tmr. I got mine from ebay (midwestkeyless) and the remote is in pretty clean condition. the uncut key they give you i think is aftermarket but the fob itself is oem product. some of the cheap fobs are not the oem but are aftermarket.

i'll post pictures if i can after.

 

i'll pay someone to do mine..

 

Thanks for the DIY, I am trying to pick some FOBs up on ebay now and give it a try myself

 

man! this is so crazy i cant do the wiring im gonna just quit... its to difficult

 

so I got mine done 2 weeks back. It took me two tries.

First time I used a thicker copper wire which increased the thickness of the whole board. After wiring and sanding the tips to make it fit I realized the case will not properly fit due to its thickness.

I then gave up for that night and started over next morning.

This time I used wires that I separated from stranded (braided thinner gauge wires) wire so it will not add too much added thickness. I was worried it may be too thin but I found it was a lot easier to manipulate the thinner wires and put them through the holes in the board. Also the buttons felt better as the buttons could now travel all the way in.

So my advice is to anyone that are DIY try to steer away from thicker wires and try to find wires that are thinner. You can easily find stranded wires as they are cheaper than solid core. You will commonly find them in old computers. Don't worry about the wires being too thin as they will work no problem.

GL!

 

oh and another thing, I suggest getting the Key Fobs with already cut keys as they are more likely to be OEM. When I got my key fob I quickly realized the remote itself was OEM but the un-cut keys were aftermarket. You can tell this by the uneven silver coating on the top and ugly key colour (it's got bronze tint to it). This non-oem key doesn't fit nice and tight on the remote and you can tell it from a mile away.
