just wanted to know if it was possible to use the newer (5th, 6th) remote/keys on the 4th gen maximas.

something like these:

No, they will not work.

 

Indeed.

Searching would've yielded this response, much quicker than the 19 minute wait time here.

 

any reason they dont work?


and i did search, search came up with no where near what my question was. otherwise i wouldnt have posted the question.

 

I searched

Different frequency, IIRC.

 

thanks for doing the work for me, next time ill just PM you instead of search

 

No, next time you'll actually search.

If you PM me with a question that is found through search, don't expect a response.

 

cmon, your mad good at it

 

And for some reason that means that you shouldn't search?

There's some logic.

 

psh...i found this at the top of the search results

the frequency numbers dont match up on the remotes through those years so they wont work easiest way to check

 

There is a reason why he is "mad good at it"



The only way you will learn anything is by doing the leg work yourself

 

You've got to be joking. I can't even find the appropriate emoticon/smilie face for that one.


On a side note, I was actually about to see if anyone on here knows what supplier makes these folding keys. Personally I really really like this one:

I sent the Ebay seller a message asking them about this. I'll post back if I ever find anything out. It might be kinda cool to see if they can make one for the 4th gen remote and maybe get a group buy going?

 

What makes the key unusable? would it be the BCM or the ecu, or both? If it was the bcm, could you swap in a 5th gen bcm and it would work, or do we not have an answer for that?

 

It would be pointless to swap the BCM. WAY too much work. Just find a remote...
