Buying New Keyless Entry Remote
Hello there!!
I'm trying to buy a keyless entry remote for my 1996 5sp gxe(i think). I'm gonna buy it off ebay. the sellers always say. "check your local dealer before bidding" to match the FCC ID. so i called my local nissand dealer. and all they gave me was a part number and didn't even take my VIN #. so my question is how can i find out which one of those keys will work for my car? thank you very much for you time and replys

Do you have a keyless remote right now? If you do, buy one that looks exactly the same - it will work.. if you don't already have keyless entry (or the system installed), you'll need more than just hte remote (not trying to state the obvious).

No need to check anything else. I did the same thing.

Good luck - there are programming instructions available here http://home.earthlink.net/~maxfaq/ under the Maintenance tab - so don't pay more for one that includes instructions on Ebay... its very simple.

If you happen to know anyone that works at a dealership, I would recommend paying them a visit. Most dealerships that take in trades, have trouble with keys and such. Therefore, there are a lot of lost keys that don't go to anything, and also FOB's with these lost keys. I picked up 3 FREE remotes when I worked at the dealership. I did the same thing for a few of my friends. I mean, I worked at a Jeep/Chrysler dealership and we had Nissan Maxima FOBs....what were we going to use them for.
Just a suggestion....

What do you mean press unlock 3 times and the windows will roll down? It has nothing to do with the number of times you press it, it has to do with the duration you hold it (the unlock button). Right?

hey y'all,
i got the module today, and i plugged the ground wire and the pin in the back(prewired plug and play switch) anyway, if i hit the nail on the head.----------------that **** didn't work like there was no current or something.
what should i do? i want this keyless entry thing.
even though i have a remote starter installed in the car already.
when i try the programming procedures- lock the dorr and put the key in and out more than six times in a second, fabooooooooo --------==the blinkers don't blink for ****.
any suggestions?
