Transponder Key

Transponder Key
Both of my keys broke where the keychain attaches. I found several places where they sell new keys with the chip (transponder) however they list it for 2000+ maximas. I know for the 1999 it was optional. The keys look identical for what I can see. Does anyone know if the 2000+ key will work? Thanks.

i bought the 2k trans key and its only a little bit longer then my stock 99 keys, i took it to the dealer and they told me its a good chance they will be able to cut the key but their computers where down that day, ill post the results once i get off my ****..

I am almost sure a 2k+ key WONT work... a different transponder system was introduced for one of the 2k+ model years. The key has a different colored chip (should be blue, whereas ours is black). That denotes an entirely different, INCOMPATIBLE system. I have a 99 Max, my mom has a 2k.

yea i went to the dealer and they said it might not work. they charge $45 to cut and program the key and you need all of your existing keys and remotes (which i didnt have with me). I am just going to return the key that I bought from ebay and bite the bullet and buy a key $50 and get it cut $45 at the dealer.

I bought 2 spare keys with cutting and programming for $74 at Street Keys. The keys works great but the only negative is that it is an after market key which, for whatever reason, is double the thickness. All in all, I was very happy with everything.

Hey MystA RavE, you have any more info on that. I'm in BK and would like to get this done asap. Do they have the keys also, because the key that I have is a 2000 that I got from e-bay. Also which DMV there are 2 out here. Thanks
