fendz Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) I recently came across a 350z key on eBay and purchased it as it looked nice and like the newer Nissan key design, I then realised after I had purchased it that it was in fact the 370z key! I decided that I would try and get it to work with my 350z because it is a nicer key! I have followed the UK Programming guide and all went well, everything seemed to work, the indicators flashed at the right time to indicate that it had programmed correctly. But unfortunately the key still did not work. On the off chance has anyone ever tried to get one of these types of keys to work with a 350z? Im not going to worry about getting a physical key cut until I know the unlock/lock buttons work. Edited March 31, 2015 by fendz Quote
GIXXERUK Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 the key has a transponder inside ( it has to be recognised to release the immobiliser etc ) that has to be programmed by nissan, they charge about £40 not sure if the 370 chip will work with a 350 ? Quote
jimboy2 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Keep trying, and if you win make sure you get all Details.Much nicer key and sure many of us 350 owners will make the change! Quote
fendz Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 Going to call up my local Nissan dealership tomorrow to see if its possible. Like you said jimboy2, its a much nicer key and you can pick them up on eBay for around £25 ish. Quote
Toon Chris Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) That's like my Inifinti key. Way too different as its got hands-free operation and hands-free starting. I haven't actuallt prised both keys open but I'm pretty sure the transpoder chip in the 350z key will be discreet from the remote operation circuit, probably a pcf9735 (very common for a key of the 350z era), whereas a hands-free start key guarantees its on the circuit with a different controller chip. Sorry mate, worth a try and a nice idea but its not going to work. Edited April 1, 2015 by Toon Chris Quote
steve916 Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Can't you lift the internals of the 350 key and fit into the 370 key case? Quote
Sargara Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Good luck with figuring this out. If it fails theres always the Ebay route which is known to work: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321067673609?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Quote
fendz Posted April 1, 2015 Author Posted April 1, 2015 I've Just spoken to my local Nissan dealership and they said that it is possible to programme a Nissan Intelligent Key for the price of £52, not including getting the key blade cut. not sure if its worth that to me but I am considering it! I shall update this thread if I get anymore info! Quote
jimboy2 Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 You should do it! Be the forum guinea pig. You will go down in history! 1 Quote
cs2000 Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) Just FYI, open up the 350 key and in the top corner there is the transponder chip. I think that's the one that deals with disabling the immobilizer/alarm. COuld always try to transplant this from one key to the other, just don't lose it! Gonna be watching this thread... Where is the actual key blade though? Never seen a 370 key so not sure? Also, cant seem to find one on eBay for less than 60.00 Edited April 2, 2015 by cs2000 Quote
flyboy Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 The key blade is inside to be used in an emergency when the car battery is flat and the central locking wont work. It is not used to start the car as it has a start button. 1 Quote
