hey guys,somewhat of a newbi here,but when they offer those keyless entry used remote control deals on ebay for 25-30 dollars will the only work on the gle or will they work on an se that didnt originally come with it? any other pitfalls? is this a valid cheap way out? any pitfalls? thanks

 

If its not OEM and looks like the stock 95-99 do not buy it.

 

let me clarify.they look to be actually used oem units from either maxes or 130s.if they are in fact oem units will they work on a se.they say they will senf programing instructions

 

Yes if they are from any 95-99 Maxima/I30 they will work. Anything 2000+ will not so do not bother. It is easy to program and is located in the stickies if you need it.

 

thanks,that is a nice cheap way out

 

dont buy stuff like that off ebay. go to the dealer and get it so u know it works

 

Hey ur better off going to the nissan dealer. So u know it will work

 

I just bought a used 95-99 keyless remote off ebay for 25 + shipping. As far as I could tell from the auction , it looks like a regular used remote. It is supposed to get here next week, so I'll let everyone know how it goes.

 

I have purchased plenty remotes from Ebay and they work great. I would buy from a seller that has a high rating. I aslo got remotes for my mother in law's Rav4 and didn't have any problems either.

 

+1 what ^he said, just read the ad carefully, and make sure they have good reps.

 

i bought both of my remotes off ebay and they work great. the only thing is one is for an i30, so it says infiniti on it, but i dont care.

 

Wrong.

Remotes are fine off ebay. As stated, make sure they have a legit rating and read the page. Make sure you're buying what you're paying for. Havn;t had a single problem with my FOB yet. Buying another one soon I think.

 

The remote I bought off there recently works fine.

 

I've bought 2 used oem so far from ebay. Only concern would be to check the condition of the part that connects to a key ring. Had to rig one but functionality was fine.

 

I'm not sure if I'm just misunderstanding the first post, but buying a remote will not give you keyless entry capabilities on a Maxima that didn't come with that feature in the first place.

If your car has the Keyless module and just didn't come with a remote, then yeah an eBay one will work fine.

 

Thats awesome, I was told they wouldnt work because only the dealership had the codes. LOL. Dealership asses.

 

Its easy to reprogram.
