keyless entry remote question
hi, just bought a new 03 maxima yesterday (11/14/03) and it didnt come with a keyless entry remote. so i was wondering could i buy any nissan maxima keyless entry remote off ebay and use it for my car (obviously buy a 02 or 03 year model) or does it have to be a specific kind? and do i program it myself or do i have to go to the dealership to do it for me? thanks

The key could be a problem. However, it is easy enough to program out the old remotes once you get a new one. The key fob mechanism holds id's for 4 remotes. Every time you program one in, the oldest of the 4 is dropped. All you have to do is program in the same one 4 times and the code for the original remotes is gone.

Sorry to jump in on the thread, but I assume the dealer the only place to get the remote? My girlfriend got her keys stolen and had to get the car towed to the dealer so they could cut her a new key. The key was like 60 bucks, but they wanted $165 for the remote, so we didn't get it. Does $165 sound right?

yeah we bought the car from the dealer and got no keyless entry. they said if i wanted the keyless it would cost $200 for a pair. i knew i could buy 'em off ebay so i said no. scopium.....where did you get them done for free? i thought the expensive part was the programming
