Lost both key fobs
Well today was the most retarded day of my life and easily my crappiest entry to a forum.
I have an 09 Maxima that I have had since, well, 09
Came with 2 "Intelligent Keys" and 1 metal tag with the number combination printed on it that you need in case you lose your keys, which I kept on the same key ring as one of my intelligent keys.
Last year I had the first key fob stolen, the one that has the metal tag on it. So now I only have 1 key fob left, at which point I should have gotten a spare programmed. I'm didn't do it. I'm an idiot.
So now I can't get drive my car or even get into it. At the moment, I literally have NO keys to my car- no key fobs, no valet keys, no intelligent keys, no metal tags with recovery code- nothing, nada
So my question now is, what do I do ???? & how much $$ am I looking at to get out of this mess & how do I go about fixing this problem?
All responses would be really appreciated! Thanks

Yes. Take it (the tag) to a dealer. Be prepared to spend a much of cash for a new fob, though.

Hey guys check out this company...Car Keys Express(.com)
I picked up my '12 with only 1 key and the dealership uses this company to cut/copy/reprogram keys. They are only charging me $100 for another one.
They basically have Account Managers that hop around to different dealerships doing this. You set up a time and just go meet with one.

The dealer is telling me the 5 digit code was on one of the key fobs, I have never even used one remote and my car is 5 months old so I never removed it off of either remote this I am sure.
I asked them if there is any way to find out what the code is, waiting to hear back
My question is this, as long as I have one working remote can another remote be programmed without knowing the code ? The dealership told me they can program the key using the VIN
Thanks

A simple suggestion many people overlook....
I used a local locksmith years back to program a new (replacement) key fob for my Camry. The guy got his book out and said he would give it a shot and it worked, charged me $35. I had bought the key fob from the dealer but balked when they wanted another $90 + to program it.

The dealer told me the VIN number works the same as the code and the cost for a new intelligent key and programming is the same as if you had the code
I don't believe these keys can be programmed by anyplace but the dealer so do you think not having the code matters ? Thanks
