I need to replace my key fob in my '05 G35 Sedan. The key itself still works fine. Should I have any problem purchasing a replacement fob off eBay or elsewhere and using my existing key in it (assuming I get the right fob model). Are there good directions on just replacing the fob?

 

Is this an Intelligent key fob, or the standard keyless entry fob? What's wrong with the fob?

 

It's the "smart key" fob. My mother-in-law dropped it, and (I'm guessing) the circuit board inside is physically broken. The buttons push all the way in.

 

Sounds like your mother in law is going to the stealership with you and her check book

 

grab a genuine smartkey off ebay. look up g35 key fob reprogramming and do it yourself. should be about $65 on ebay for a smartkey with the chip inside and uncut key.

 

Do I need another smart key, or do I just need the fob? My key insert still works fine.

 

Did anybody have the answer for programming the smart key fob?

 

Is it the key that won't work or just the fob ? You can reprogram the fob yourself, usually the seller will have info (most websites or ebay sellers have the details). But if the key is bad, well then you're off to the dealership

 

Thanks for the response. My hard key works. I have to stick it into the ignition. My remote does not.

Just to verify - if I purchase the right FCC ID of this remote

will I be able to program it for my car so that I don't have to put the key in the ignition to start it?
