Yes im an idiot and i lost my key for my car....

Does any one know how much it costs to replace and if i have to take the car to them?

 

Search eBay. I have seen them for like $75. Only other charge is from the dealer to chip and cut it

 

do i have to take the car to them?

 

I don't think so. Check out some other threads on here. I believe you just need to take it to anyplace that can cut and program the key.

 

You can find it on ebay for about $30-40 for the remote and uncut key or this one with remote but PRECUT key(that wont work with your car) or even cheaper if you spend more time looking.

Also be aware that not all infiniti FOBs work on all Gs there is certain batch that can be programed to your car, for example 1st gen keys wont work or the newer FX ones form what iv heard.

You can get the key cut from anywhere as long as you have your valet key to help with the cut for the locksmith, for the remote programming you can just take the new FOB to the dealer with your registration card, VIN(already on reg card) and ID to prove the ownership and they can program the key for you without the car in a few minutes for about $20-50 depending on location and dealer

 

If you lost it, i would get another key and I would also bring the car to them to reprogram the car to a new code. If that fob is lost then some clown could just push that button and off w/ your car. (just saying) To reprogram the remote is like maybe 100 buck from the stealersh*t

 

If you have the Intelligent Key fob you will have to get it programmed by the dealership. You should buy your own on Ebay and try and get it reprogrammed under warranty so that you don't have to pay for it. I called two dealerships and they had different prices to program between 100 and 120.

 

^ wow those are crazy prices, my friend got it done for $40 at the dealership with a $10 off promotional coupon.

 

I know when I had my maxima I had an extra key but it wasn't programmed they charged me 110 to program it

 

The car is technically programmed to the ikey(s).

The car has to be taken to either a Nissan or Infiniti dealer and ALL keys to be paired to the car have to be there at the same time the car is updated.

If you get one on ebay, check to make sure that it wasn't from the ikey recall.
