either our daughter hid my set of keys or i threw them away in the trash by accident. dealer wants to charge $116 for the blank key and $106 for the fob PLUS $100 to cut and program the key. talk about an expensive mishap. has anyone gone to somewhere besides the dealer? i'm afraid ebay might end up selling just generic keys and end up messing up in a few months.

 

bought a key blank off of ebay for $20... I don't think it is oem, but it is pretty much a clone of one. Went to a local locksmith and had them duplicate the key for $2. I still need to get it programmed though and will probably have to cough up the $100 at the dealer for that. Also you can buy a fob for about $20-30 off of ebay and program it yourself.

 

so how long ago did you buy the key? did you have to have the dealer program it? i'm definitely getting the fob off ebay though.

 

I bought it a few months ago, dont remember exactly when. It looks exactly like an original infiniti key except it's more of a matte finish. I haven't gotten it programmed yet, my local infiniti dealer wanted ~150. Non of the locksmiths in my area can work with the IVIS anti-theft system in our cars, so I am limited to dealers. You might wanna try and ask some Nissan dealers and see how much they charge to program your key, they were only gonna charge me $100.
