Ebay Fobs?

[Nate]

I never got a key fob when I bought my 350, just 1 key without buttons. Read online that you can program any fob to work so bought one off Ebay to try out. Used the guide on here to try and managed to get into programming mode (heard the two clicks) held the unlock and pressed the lock 3 times & nothing happened, no clicks to confirm and when i take the key out the fob doesn't work. Can anyone confirm if they've use an successfully programmed an aftermarket fob?

Not sure they all work that way.

Aftermarket? Surely it has to be a Nissan key?

I bought a 2nd hand refurb key fob from Ebay, used the programming instruction (pedal and key combi) and managed to reprogram both old key and new refub key fob without any problem. Not sure about aftermarket keys thought.......

I helped and know of a Micra key that was successfully reprogrammed. Not sure what you mean by aftermarket?

 

Which guide did you follow? There's a UK and US guide - one doesn't work for the other.

Aftermarket means not Nissan OE 14N. I followed the UK guide, obviously as I got into the programming mode, just couldn't get the the confirmation clicks that the fob was programmed.

Got a Nissan one, same issue, no clicks to confirm the programming. still gets into programming mode fine though. Ideas?

I picked up a couple of micra keys from eBay a few months ago ( this was when I broke my arm and couldn't drive the Zed ) with the view of transferring the guts over to a flip key body. However neither of them have the " immobiliser" chip in them

I'd be very interested if anyone can help as I too have one key and fob and unable to even get into programming mode!

I thought the key would have to have the immobilizer chip in it to work.

May be able to open the car, but not sure about starting it.
