hey i was reading the how to's and there was a how to on installing the oem fob key for the maxima... somewhere i heard that 97 maximas did not have that system available.. did a read wrong and will that how to write up on fob keys work for my stock 97 maxima se?

 

also if this alarm was an option for a 97 maxima se, how do i kno if i have one or not?

 

any input would be helpful =/

 

Get in car.
Lock all doors.
Put key in and out of ignition 6+ times in less than 10 sec. If the parking lights flash, you have a factory alarm.

 

Do you have a blinking security light near your interior lights brigtness control (to the right of the steering wheel)?

Keyless entry/alarm was available in every 4th Gen. It was part of the comfort and convenience package on the GXEs. I don't remember if it was standard on the SEs, but it was standard on the GLEs.

 

well the point of me askin the question in the first place is so that if i dont i wont have to buy the key in the first place

and also i dont have that blinking light i dont think.. but if its supposed to be there for every 4th gen.. then i donno

 

It was an option on GXEs and probably on SEs. It was standard on GLEs.

 

He is talking about using the actual car key - you are talking about the key fob aka. keyless remote.

 

aww damn... i dont have factory alarm.. is it expensive to buy? or better gettin an aftermarket system?

 

Aftermarket.

 

how much is a good but cheap aftermarket system?
