mec Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Does anyone know how to program a key fob into the car, i've tried the guides on the web and it doesn't seen to work... So i've ended up wiping out the second fob i had too. Has anyone tried this and been able to get it to work? It's on an '04 uk z. Cheers Quote
GIXXERUK Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 is it your original key ? or one you have bought ? Quote
Guest prescience Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 I assume you've tried the procedure in the Service Manual - I only have the US one to hand mind Quote
mec Posted August 25, 2008 Author Posted August 25, 2008 Yep they are both the orginal key fobs, there's a process in the service manual? On my phone at the moment i'll have to look that up when i get back home... Is it in the pdf service manual from 350z tech.com? cheers guys, its a really pain as the alarm goes off everytime i open the car! Quote

Is it in the pdf service manual from 350z tech.com? cheers guys, its a really pain as the alarm goes off everytime i open the car! yes there is, it's in BL.pdf and it differs from those discussed on the web that I've seen - not markedly but there are differences. As I noted, you will probably only be able to track down the US manual easily and one of the steps talks about the driver's door - whether that equates on UK cars to the 'driver's door' or the left hand door (driver's door in US obviously), I don't know.

teddyonholiday Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Just to be sure here is the European sequence to register keys. And as if by Magic a picture will appear. Teddy PS it might take till the morning. Quote
mec Posted August 26, 2008 Author Posted August 26, 2008 Thanks a million Prescience, i'll give that a try as the one from the 04 US service manual (BL 92) isn't working at all... This looks far more detailed! so it must be right Quote
Guest prescience Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Thanks to TOH who supplied me the pic. to post - I didn't have it myself Quote
mec Posted August 26, 2008 Author Posted August 26, 2008 Absolutely bloody marvellous, worked a dream!!! Prescience you now have god status in my eyes! Which service manual did that come out of as I've got the wrong one? Quote
Guest prescience Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Absolutely bloody marvellous, worked a dream!!! Prescience you now have god status in my eyes! Which service manual did that come out of as I've got the wrong one? Euro manual. Nice one prescience == teddy == Quote
Guest prescience Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 It would be interesting to see if el cheapo eBay keys can be made to work with this procedure, on the basis that it is clearly right for UK cars whereas the other web-posted instructions are wrong. Quote
dcash5 Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Im guessing this would be a similar procedure for JDM or have I just opened another can of worms! Quote
Guest prescience Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 And any idea what NG stands for? NG = "No good" probably i.e. not OK Quote
jim Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 There are some significant differences between the US manual guide and the European guide just posted. It would be good to know which, if any, of these guides is applicable to JDM models. Quote
mec Posted August 26, 2008 Author Posted August 26, 2008 Is there a link to the full euro guide anywhere? Quote
mec Posted August 26, 2008 Author Posted August 26, 2008 One thing I noticed while doing it, is you can't see the lights flash as it doesn't illuminate the dashboard indicator signals. You just have to count how many times the indicator relay clicks (the relay click sound comes from the passenger side foot well). Quote
dcash5 Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Ok next diagnosis required ... first steps let me in fine, when i press the keys and release i get nothing!!! would I diagnose that its the key at fault? Quote
mec Posted August 26, 2008 Author Posted August 26, 2008 Could be the batteries, the first key that dropped off I replaced the battery on (CR2016). Quote
adammitch69 Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 I tried all the guides online to re-program my remote fobs when the stopped working - none of them worked :-( had to take it in to the dealers who told me there was a lose connection on the remote reciever so the car wasnt getting any signal - covered under warrenty thankfully. To get the keys done it is £22 a key. Full credit to Halifax Nissan though - good service and they didnt check that I had left the hire car with 3 miles left before empty! Quote
nothingz Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 tried this on a 07 model, it doesnt flash after 6 times nor any clicking sound. I wonder have they changed the procedure, anyone know? Quote
smuudge Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Can anyone elaborate on were the remote reciever is on the car? Im pretty certain mine is to do with that as the key was working fine before the track day on Monday! Something must have loosened im guessing... Quote
narcotix Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Hi, Thanks for the info above I'm sure it'll be very useful to me ... Although I do have a few questions ... Does the key that's in the ignition have to be the one which you are re-programming? My situation is that I have just purchased a second keyfob from eBay which will need cutting ... but in the mean time can I use my exisiting key to do the "ON - LOCK" procedure and then press the buttons on my new keyfob? I will be getting the new keycut at somepoint but would like to know that I have the programming part of it done before ... just being impatient LoL Quote
