Hi, I've run into a dead end looking for a new key FOB housing online. I've tried ordering from Amazon and eBay and haven't had any luck. Most of the ones I've bought, I had to end up returning or eating the cost because of the circuit board not fitting properly inside. Has anyone ran into this issue before and if so can you recommend where to buy from? Thanks!

 

Same situation with me, i really don't want to give nissan $300 for a key

 

That's basically the only option for the early model intelligent key with the twist **** on the steering column. It was only used for about 2 years, it was not a common option, it was not used on many platforms, it's a rare and hard-to-find item.

It's going to cost $100 for the fob with a blank key, another $20 to cut the key, and $125 at Nissan to program the key. Unfortunately you can't even program it yourself with NDS2 because the 2006-2007 coupes you cannot connect to the BCM...

Personally it was an option I AVOIDED when I was purchasing my G because I was aware of the programming problems and I really don't mind using a physical key. It might be worth finding a donor vehicle with the non-intelligent key and just swapping BCM/ECM/ignition so you don't have that system anymore, I would but some folks really like a keyless system.

 

thanks for the confirmation ! Infiniti really made some hassles with their "luxury features" . How much more do you think it would cost to have a key made if I actually lost the key? I'm considering just freeballing it with the single key vs paying $300 now for a spare that I may never need. And would a mobile locksmith be able to program it on the spot or would it have to be towed to a Nissan dealer ?
