Buying keys from ebay

Recommended Posts

evening all

 

it would appear my key fob is broken and the buttons do not lock / unlock the car. I have to lock and unlock the car using the key in the door method but the alarm goes berserk when i open the door.

 

I have looked on ebay for additional key fobs / blank keys andI was wondering if anyone has done this and if so do you have any recommendations? or if there are any places i can go to? Or is this a nissan job?

 

I am based in the north east..

 

cheers

yeah i replaced the battery

 

i didnt think the key would need reprogramming as it knocks off the alarm etc? im no expert tbh :(

 

i iwll take it apart later and try that :D

 

cheers lads

 

It sets the alarm off because you're opening the car without deactivating it by using the key rather than button, it turns it off when you place it in the ignition because the transponder doesn't require power, similar to how security tags in shops work.

 

If the battery has been stone dead or removed for too long, you'll need to recode it to open the car with the buttons, google how too, there's plenty of info :thumbs:

Haha I had mine 2 days before we had a lot of snow down here. . . .

Real trial by fire considering it was my first RWD car :-)

 

haha this is my first rwd too and I love it - i never thought i would love this as my as my ST but this has so much more character, especially as it goes mental at me when i open the doors :lol:

 

its like an excitable puppy haha
