What does your local dealer charge for Infiniti keyless entry remotes?

My Infiniti dealer wants $99 a piece plus $35 for programming for each of my cars (03 G35, 01 I30).

I'm curious to see what other dealerships are charging for new remotes and programming.

I'm done with ebay because the listings show new remotes, and 3 out of 3 times I've won - I end up with junk that doesn't work and won't program. First one was superglued together and cracked. Can't check the battery if you can't even open it. Second one was completely corroded inside from water and didn't work. The 3rd one only 1 button worked and it looked like someone tried to superglue the circuit board pieces back together. Each one was advertised as new, or like new and they obviously weren't anywhere close to that. The Keyles Ride site is run by one of those same lying ebay sellers, so thats off the list too.

What does your local dealership charge? I bet there's some that want even more than what mine is charging.

 

I found another site online that I'm willing to give a shot - www.ThePartsYouNeed.com

The KR site wants $54 a piece for the 03 G35 remote, and they're half that price on thepartsyouneed site with the instructions included. I ordered 1 this morning.

I'll keep you guys posted. If it works good, I'm going to order one for my I30 as well.

 

I bought one from Ebay and it came in perfect shape. I googled Infiniti Keyfob programming instructions and programmed it myself in five minutes. The keyfob from Ebay was around $15. Give it another try! Good luck

 

any diy on how u program it?

 

It was pretty simple:

How quickly do keyfobs go out? Im hoping my new 05 keyfobs will last me a few years.

 

They really don't just 'go out.' If you drop them in water, that is bad. If you smash them, that is bad. If you use them a lot and the battery dies you can replace the battery.

I still have my 2 originals and one extra and I beleive they all still work. I haven't tried the extra one lately because its in pieces in my tool box (it was an expirament).

 

Already ordered from ThePartsYouNeed.com site. I'll post an update when the package gets here.

 

keyless on the 03? how u do that?

 

Oops, forgot to update this...

I received my remote on the 19th (3 business days for delivery is pretty impressive).

The remote works great and programming was extremely easy. I can't believe dealers charge for that!

I was even more impressed when I went to place an order for an I30 remote. I got free shipping on my 2nd order as a return customer so I went ahead and ordered another for the G35 and a pair for the I30.

ThePartsYouNeed.com rocks!

 

Another update - I got my 2nd order in today's mail. Setup was easy. I loved the fast shipping. The other thing I like is they actually package them up good.

One of the EBAY orders I had was just a remote thrown in a regular paper letter envelope. There was already a hole in the corner about half the size of the remote inside from being sorted at the post offices. 1 more day in the mail and I'm sure the remote wouldn't have made it all the way to me. That was also the guy who charged $6 for shipping! LOL.

I'd order more remotes if I could, but my Miata doesn't even have power locks.

 

I got a notification today that one of those ebay sellers was suspended (probably for the same issue with other people). I'm doubt there is any recourse to get my money back, but at least nobody else gets burned. I found something else odd out today too. On another forum, somebody mentioned that they had pretty badly limited range with their remote, but if they aimed the remote at their chin, they could get the car to lock and unlock from about 80 ft away.

I tried it when I was headed back to my car from the mall today, and it works...lol. Probably will get brain cancer now...but it about triples the range.

 

Ouch - check out the feedback from one of the ebay scammers - "Eagles_Wingz". Looks like he took a bunch of money and disappeared.

I wish I would have known about ThePartsYouNeed.com before I wasted time with ebay junk.
