I am so ****ed, I truly like the Maxima, the 3rd gen was an awesome car, my old 4th gen 99 was excellent, and I love my 5th gen Maxima so far, no piant problems YET! Well I am SO ****ED OFF, I bought 2 remotes and 2 keyblanks for my car on EBAY after I called and got the prices, remotes were like 25/each and keys were 2 for 40 which is a good price compared to the dealer prices. Well can you believe those ******* *******s are charging me $30.00/unit to program which is 120.00 to program two sets of keys, I'm so ****ed, my friend paid 18.00 to program 3 sets for his Chrysler, I just wanted to tell everyone how ****ed I am and if anyone knows a way to program these cheaper or by myself PLEASE TELL ME, yes I did call another dealership which was more, as for 800-nissan1 well they are like "huhuhu no programming needed huhuhuhhhhhhh" god damn morons, thanks! lol

 

at my dealer in boston they charge 100 bucks per peice(1 key and remote is 200 bucks)
So you are lucky, because if i went to the dealer they would charge me for 2 sets of keys 400 bucks

 

I believe thats what the other dealer was charging, how the hell is putting a key or remote in a machine 30min-1hr of labor, WTF!!!!!!1

 

Anyone has instructions for 5th Gen Maximas? I purchased a new remote on eBay as well and would be very interested... and thankful.

I, too bought one off of e-bay. The guy included instructions in mine. If nobody posts, I will post that tonight when I get home. I am at work now! I haven't done it yet on mine as I want to make sure that programming this new one won't 'unprogram' the others

 

Here's a link to the instructions for programming your remotes.

THANKS 10000000000000000x!!!!!!!!!!!!11

 

Thanks but looks like you dont need to post since 2000maxse sent a link, check it out maybe those instructions are better cause if you do start the porgramming process it will unprogram your old ones but it takes another 5 sec to add additionl ones....

 

I know - thanks - I did it last night per those instructions and did the whole process (3 remotes) in under a minute - it was a cinch. Thanks again for the link , 2000MaxSE.

 

can u please repost the instructions because apprently that link does not work anymore. I followed the 4th gen instructions, and for some reason it does not unprogram the other remotes in memory, which i want to do. thanks in advance

Holy ****...! Thats IT? Thats IT? They charge 40+ buck to do this?
Are you sure this will work on a max cause I notice its for a Altima...And does KEYS and key fob....?

If this is so...how does Nissan justify the....oh yeah...n/m.

 

I am assuming the instructions are the same, but I am not positive. Perhaps someone else can confirm.

 

That's the same file I used and I have reprogrammed all my remotes successfully twice - remote programming at the dealeship is the biggest scam once you know the instructions. I can do all 3 of my remotes in under a minute.

Now if we can just figure out how to progam the darn keys - then that would be sweet.

 

Adam...you really need to start a relationship with your service advisor and the service manager...take them to lunch or something



a lot of the things that they like to charge for...you can get done for free when you have a good WORKING relationship with the service department.....don't just stop by there when you want something...just stop in to say hello..take the guys a box of doughnuts!!


two boxes of doughnuts can save $$$$ in the end

I've only had one bad incident with the service department....but since I have developed a friendship with the service manager and many of the advisors...I have no more drama

I don't mind calling them up and inviting them to lunch....it's worth more to me in the end

a little *** kissing can go a longggggggggggg way!!

good luck...and btw..you can take me to lunch too

 

I tried those instructions several times and I was still not able to program my remote. When the key is in the acc position, is it turned to 1, 2 or 3. Thanx in advance for your help.
