Does anyone know the procedure on how to program a new key fob on a 98 I30?

Why pay $40-$50 for Nissan or Infiniti to program your keyless entry remote when you can do it for FREE? You can do it yourself with step-by-step easy to follow directions.

How do you program a new ignition key with chip?
Unfortunately, that can only be done at the dealer. To program the key it is necessary to have a Infiniti Computer and a special program and password.

I know this is an old thread but I am trying to do this on my '01 I30 with a keyfaub I bought off ebay that is suppose to work for this model. The key faub says Nissan on it. HERE is the ebay link. When I do step 4, nothing happens. I do not get the hazard flash like I thought I was suppose too. I have tried doing step 3 where I turn the key and only the radio is on and also turning the key and the dash lights come on but still no luck with step 4. I have replaced the battery in the remote also. Any thoughts.

does anyone knows how can i program the key fob on my 2000 infiniti i30?

[Tri-C]

See above - and make sure that you have the right key fob. Some of the ones offered on ebay are incorrect. The most common FCC number is KBRASTU10.

[Barada]

I got the same problem.. i cant get past step 4.. i have the right FCC.. it the original remote too.. the kid i bought it off (the car) said the remote lost the code needs a reprogram.. soo i need some help on this too. i got a 2000 i30t

[ridinwitha35]

These instructions worked for me; programmed 2 remotes using them.

[NSMO240]

you dont have to unlock the doors, you just hit a button on the second or third key fob, the lights will flash for every different key fob programmed, up to 4.

HELP?

Can you program an old QX4 key fob to an I30? If not how likely will a new Key Fob purchased from Ebay or online somewhere work? Any help will be nice. Thanks

no, because the QX4 key fob does not have the trunk open button, if you get one from ebay make sure it has lock on top, then unlock, then trunk open, then panic.

Does anybody knows how to program a new remote on a maxima 2003 or idont know if its possible or will need to be done at the dealer.

[F35-JSF]

Thx so much for the write up. The service man looked at me like i was crazy when i said i'd program it myself.

[Thor4]

I picked up a 1998 key fob from a wrecker and was successful on resetting it to my 1998 Maxima using the reset directions. Thanks for the help.

[Ian02MAX]

Will these work on a 2002 maxima?

[jcbl426]

it should work on your maxima with out issues..

[linsdeyb76]

i have tried this numerous times and i checked the part number on the key pad and it is a nissan keyfob is there any other way to program the key pad without paying

[MaxMike93]

Didn't want to make a new thread for this question, but does anyone know if like the I35 remote would work for an I30? Like for a 2002+ Maxima. Just in case I need a new remote in the future and I kinda like that one more than the ones I have.

Just because it is a Nissan key fob remote doesn't mean squat. Nissan changes the key fob remote frequency from time to time, so what works with one year doesn't always work with the next year car.

For reasons like this, it is MANDATORY that you tell us the year and model of your car.

Unfortunately, the answer is no.

There are 2 different remotes for the i30, one for 96 to 99 and another for 2000 & 2001. In 2002, a 3rd remote was used for the i35 and Maxima.

I have a fob that works on and off, I replaced the battery too and that did nothing. I'm guessing this will make it work?

if it works on and off, then your problem is likely cold solder joints on the fob itself. If you know how to solder, re-flow all the joints and give it a good cleaning

Amerikaner could be right but another thing that can happen is that muck and yuck builds up beneath the plastic membrane that has the buttons and the switches on the printed circuit board. Cleaning with rubbing alcohol and a tooth brush will usually fix this, but I've has some where the crud destroyed the switches.

Good point, Dennis. I forgot how dirty those things can tend to get.

[D I R T Y I 3 0]

So I don't know how to solder...I'll give this a shot anyway. If not, do you have any suggestions?

[Amerikaner83]

take it apart and clean it off first like Dennis mentioned...that's the absolute easiest
