Hey guys, I now own a '95 SE 5spd. Man the VQ is smooth, much better than my old VE. Here's the deal...when I bought the car I wasn't given the orignal keys and Im wondering if my car came with remote entry. How can I tell? A Nissan dealership said you can't but that's b.s. My car came with powerseats, sunroof, alarm(yes, it has a little red blinking light on the leftside of the dash), and gold accents around the car. How do I tell? Thanks

if it has the alarm then my thinking would be that it had to come with keyless entry , just because of the alarm. anyone else with ideas ?

The GLEs did come with the alarm, which may have had a delete option. Get a remote from someone that has a Maxima and program it to your car, at least see if it works. If it works, get yourself a remote (they are always selling on E-Bay) and reporgram.

I had the same prob and here is how I did it.
Remove the carpeting and plastic trim inside the truck by the latch. Look for a big brown connector (square) and see if its plugged into anything. If it's taped up then you don't havwe keyless entry - if its plugged into another square thing thats mounted to the car itself - then you have it.
I wasn't going to pay $110 for a new remote and I was too impatient to get one from an online auction (you can get one from ebay for 20 - 30 bucks) so I went back to the place that sold me the car and talked to the mechanic - he had a ziplock bag full of remotes and gave me one - no charge. (make sure it has buttons for lock, unlock, panic and truck. Not all Nissan remotes do)

Click on Maintenance then on keyless entry.
Good luck!

My friend has a 98 Altima and it didn't come with the remote also.... but he added it to his car, The Nissan dealer sells them for like $40-$50 bucks. Well atleast in Georgia that's what they was going for.. Pretty easy to install also took us like a hour give or take..
