veeg33 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I've just managed to buy myself a refurb key fob for £25 on Ebay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-NISSAN-350-Z-USED-REMOTE-KEY-NEW-KEY-BLADE-MODEL-/111596643946?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item19fbada66a) I'm going to my local locksmiths to get the blade cut and planning to program the key fob myself (1st attempt before I pay Nissan crazy money). Programming guides found in this forum - http://www.350z-uk.com/index.php?showtopic=46866 http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/15223-re-programming-the-key-fobs/ http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/18178-programming-a-key-fob/ Was wondering if I need to program both my current fob as well as the new fob together at the same time. I was worried if I only program the new fob only, my zed will wipe out the old fob and replace it with the new fob. Any one has done this before? Any tips for success is much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veef13 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Hi, I got the same refub key that you linked above, tried all the coding methods that I could find and although was able to unlock the car was never able to start it due to the imobi. Took it to Nissan and they popped it on their machine and coded it. Only cost £22 in the end, even though they tried to double that price when it was done, so just spoke to service manager and got it at the originally quoted price 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy_Baton Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) My car came with 2 keys but the second key fob has never worked (actual key works though). I've changed the battery but no luck. I'd be intrested to hear if trying the reprogramming guide on the 2nd key would impact the first keys usefulness.

veef13 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Had a bit of a panic moment when I wiped my original key when following one of the guides, but wasn't a problem in the end as the car was still in learn mode so just added it back in. Car can remember 6 key codes I think it was, then starts to replace the oldest with the newest code. YMMV etc so if in doubt, pop down to your local dealer and get them to do it. If you get a silly price, come back a few days later and try again, they make it up as they go Edited February 12, 2015 by veef13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veeg33 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 Just had a detailed read on the programming steps. It says - At this time, the original (previous) ID code(s) are erased. Looks like it will stop the usefulness of the first keys. As for imobi (Thanks for reminding), I think it needs a separate programming. I think you'll need to copy the "frequency" of the original key and load it into the new fob/key. I'll give it a try this weekend and see if the programing works for me.

veeg33 Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) I've managed to program the new key fob with the instruction from here --> http://www.350z-uk.c...g-the-key-fobs/ see post#10 My turn signal lamp did not flash, instead I can hear clicking noise coming from the center console. So, instead of flashing twice, it clicked twice. However, the new key fob seems to be different from my original key fob. The part numbers are same "876/818" so I would assume they will be same. But they are not, for the new fob, I need to press the Unlock button twice (quickly) to unlock and to Lock just once. As per instruction, I program both fobs that I have. My current fob works as normal, 1 press each will Lock or Unlock but not the new fob. I re-program them twice and the new fob still required 2 quick press to Unlock. It this normal? I don't think to be honest. Does anyone else need to press the Unlock button twice to unlock their zed? I've emailed the seller and let see what he/she comes back with. Next step is to copy the imobi and get the blade cut. Knowing that I'll be going back to Malaysia again next year, I'm thinking to bring it to my dad's mate again to get it sorted. Since I've got a spare key (without the remote fob), I can use the spare key with the new fob for now unless I can get a cheap place here to get the new fob cut and imobi sorted out.

veef13 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Seems strange that you have to double tap to unlock on the new fob. Never had that myself. The guide that worked for my unlocking Is the pdf image guide which is kicking around somewhere on here. But had to get imobi done at dealer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veeg33 Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Yep, this is the guide that I use. You got it from the same seller, I guess mine might be faulty? Seller still hasn't reply my message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
