ignition keys for Maxima 2001 - expensive!!
Hi all,
I am new to this forum. I just recently bought an used 2001 Nissan Maxima GXE. I want to get extra keys and reprogram the keys. Looks like it is going to cost me $80 for an extra key and $80 to reprogram it!!! I found some keys on eBay for about $20. Can I buy those and take them to the dealer to be reprogrammed? Also I saw that some of the American cars could have their keys reprogrammed by the owner without having to go to the dealer. Can I do that with my Nissan Maxima?
Any help is appreciated.
Regards
sidamin

in my area, i had to call around to see if they had access to prgramming keys. It is also better just to get all the keys you want now and have them all reprogrammed at the same time so you don't have to pay multiple labor charges. By the way, i also think keys made for pathfinders and altimas will work becausei got my ebay key under "pathfinder key"

Well I bought this car used and got a great deal on it...but only one key. So of course I want a spare and also want to make sure the keys are reprogrammed so if someone does have the old keys they cannot get into the car.

courtesyparts.com also has a 20th anniversary key for $25 or so i think, so take that to a dealer/locksmith, and you should just be a hair over $50
