Anybody try other options than the ones that the dealership sells. $110 for a remote seems extremely high, and there appears to be one floating around for between 35 and 60 at different places. I wasnt sure if there was one to stay away from, and others that seem to work well.

Ideas/Suggestions?

 

I got a new keyless ride one for $17 shipped on ebay and it works great.(had to bid on about 10-15 of them before i got one for that price, most sell for ~25)

 

I just picked up a used one on eBay for $25

+1 ebay.

Word of advice though if you go through keylessride.com DO NOT get the $54 dollar remote, it looks cool but it really sucks. This is one of the few instances that the cheapest thing works the best, it does work equally as well as the stock one, including lowering your windows.

 

yup just watch out when you buy the remotes off ebay, sellers usually have multiple ones which are all different qualities for the same price, so make sure u shop around

 

i've bought about 5-6 remotes, 4 of them being OEM nissan, the other were viper. All but one were brand spanking new, the other one was worn, but it was specified in the listing (hey, it was $20 including shipping). Paid anywhere from $20-$35 for a remote. I will continue to buy remotes on ebay. Just make sure they have high ratings, 1000+?

 

I appreciate all of the advice...It looks like in this case Ebay is OK. I was concerned that they might be selling junk on there. I will also pay attention to the seller rating..
Thanks for the input...Another great service of maxima.org

 

I am looking for one too! I havent found the right one on ebay. The Viper i had earlier was terrible. Any suggestions on whats the right brand?

 

oem ftw

 

Yea. Def. OEM. I tried one from autozone for my 96 and it would only work dead center of the car. Got my money back immediately from that purchase.

 

Also, $110 is high to pay for a new one. That's what the dealer near me wanted, and I went online and bought a new one online for $85. Clearly, I still overpaid because a lot of the used remotes still look and work like new and go for as little as $25.

 

so any oem control on ebay should work for my max

 

any oem remote for 95-99 maxima's

 

i inquired about one for a 2006 g35... $450...without installation

 

ebay probably would be your best bet
