Program Key Fobs? OUCH!!

I just picked up a 2003 G35 sedan 5AT, sport, sunroof. Traded in my QX4 after we replaced it with a "real truck". Problem is, dealer didn't have full set of keys. Only had one master key, the valet key and no key fobs (remotes). They offered to sell me a replacement remote at cost. It was late, I was ready to take the new baby home and said ok. Now, after paying $118 for ONE fob I'm a little irritated. I still have the extra remote from the QX4 that I pulled out to take to dealer and am now wondering if it can be programmed to the G or not. Any ideas or, just suck it up?

I have bought a few Infiniti remotes off of Ebay for under $10 a piece. You can program the fob though a key sequence. I found the programming instructions on the web by searching Google.

RETURN the Remote. They ripped you off. Get one from EBay.

I hope you got a great deal on the G. Cause if you paid close top dollar for you G and got no remotes, that would be crazy!!

You should have got 2 full sets of keys and key FOB. Dont forget that even if you get the FOB off of Ebay, you still need something more then the valet key because that key dose not open everything on the car I seem to recall.

Crap! Thanks for the info. I'll return the apparently platinum-plated remote from the dealer and get one off e-bay.

Just so you don't think I'm a total idiot, we did great on the price of the car. The other local dealer couldn't touch the price that was $2500 more than the final deal. They took a beating on it just to get a mark in the sold column. So, I guess I don't mind having to do a little searching for a remote or two.

Thanks again for the help and info.

With a $2,500 saving, then you can buy as many FOBS as you like!!!! Enjoy the car.
