Hi everyone,

Lost one of my two key fobs and wanted to find out how I can go about getting a replacement without going to the stealership if at all possilbe?

I called there and they said I had to bring it in so they could get #'s off the car and create a new one. Price......... $350+!!!

I hope there's a cheaper alternative then this really. That's crazy!

 

U mean the remote? If so why not just buy one on eBay for 25-30 bucks and program it yourself?

 

I thought I had to have the "Transponder" key as well with it? So remote, plus key with chip in it if I'm not mistaken. The remote may open the car doors, but I believe I have to have the key in order to drive it. I have the 4-button Smartkey device.

'll try doing a Google search and see if I can't find a better priced alternative. Thanks!

 

The key with the chip is def the bank breaker. But if your just looking for a remote then I don't see why you would need the key too. If I'm not making sense I apologize I'm extremely tired and have to wake up at 4. Anywho I'll be getting a remote for my car in a few weeks so I'm hoping that it will be a simple procedure. Need an extra key too but can't see myself paying that much money. Good luck!

 

intelligent keys do not have a PATS transponder. do not let the dealership tell you different. you can buy the remote portion on ebay for $25-$50 and some include a blank key. you do however, need to have the dealer program the four button ikey. it runs anywhere between $50-$100 to do so.

edit: here you go. the page says "sedan only" but that is only true for models up to 06 since infiniti did not offer coupes with ikey.
