How To Replace Key Battery On M35

[Houdini]

The central loccking isn't working on the car ( Stagea M35) and both key don't seem to do anything. I was wondering if it's the batteries. I took the single screw out of the remote part of the key but it doesn't seem to want to come apart. Any hints?

Well if its the same as my S1 key then once you take the screw out the case is held together with clips so i used a stanley knife to make a small opening and then put a small screwdiver in the gap and turned it and it came apart (my beatery was a Panasonic CR1620 3v).

If your central locking doesn't work off the key (and the key opens the door OK) try the lock buttons on the door and see if they work.

It is possible to disable the remote locking ( I saw the instructions somewhere) but I don't know how to re-enable it if that is what has been done.

The guys are spot on. Remove screw, use a stanley knife or similar on the side of the key, run the blade along the join and twist gently and it pops right in half. The battery inside is a Panasonic CR 1620 3V.

there is a thread somewhere that you do it yourself

this was stolen from chooks thread .it didnt take much searching guys .here goes

nissan remotes can be programmed yourself by following some steps, so thats not a prob, of course dealers would never tell you that.

Just get in your vech , close all doors. Using your power lock switch , lock all doors. After doors are locked take your Ignition Key and insert it and remove it from ignition switch in a slow fashion , but consitant pace. (97 and earlyer are fast) When you see the hazzard lights flash, put key in ignition switch and turn to the On postion .. Do NOT CRANK or you will have to Start over .. After in the On postion .. Hit the Lock button on remote... Hazzard lights should flash..( note..you have to reprogram all remotes when adding a new one , if you don't your old remotes will not work ) If your doing just the one , turn igntion switch off and unlock door and get out and try it. If you are doing more than one. While still in Vech with Key on . After you hit the Lock button on Remote and hazzard light flashed .. with key still on .. use master lock switch unlock doors and relock and then hit Second Remote, Lights should flash again , repeat if adding a 3rd remote.. after done just turn key off and unlock door and get out and try.

all together now thanks chook

hmmm 100 dollar second key sounds good now I've gone and ruined mine (I like to keep a backup - my car came with two keys)

Hi,

I have a M35 ARX build date 06/02, do I have a transponder type key where I have to get a special code from Nissan Japan?

Or can I buy your guy and do the steps to get it to work for central locking?

My key looks exactly like the one picture in the thread, and the same battery.

[KiwiRS4T]

Well if I were you I would get a new battery and if that didn't work try the advice above before i went to give Nissan megabucks.

[hochiminh]

Just got a steel key cut and it turns the car on, so my car hasnt got the transponder. However I would like to find a key that has the 2 buttons for central locking. Anyone have a part number/where to buy for this so that I can do the steps listed above thus have a new remote key! Cheers for the help.

[KiwiRS4T]

Not quite sure where you're at. You say you have the right key (with two buttons). Do they work? If not have you tested or replaced the battery? Having done that if it still doesn't work have you tried the steps above (from mike's post out of Chook's thread). Why do you think that the fact that the new key you have had cut turns your car on proves that you haven't got a transponder? Or is it the case that you do have a key that works and you just want a spare? Have you PM'd Danwatt to see if his is still for sale? new ones are about $300 from Nissan.

[hochiminh]

Hey,

Sorry if I wasnt clear. I have a key remote right now that controls the central locking of the car that works. I was trying to get another spare from Nissan today and they are charging $224, a bit steep just for the central locking. I was worried that my key has a chip in it, so to figure that out i just got a steel key copy of the remote and put that key in the house and tried to start the car.

I guess installing a new alarm/immobiliser that can use the existing central locking motors would be the best bet as you avoid getting raped from Nissan parts. I will try a pm to him to see how much he is selling it.

Cheers

Couldn't get this to work on my AR-X. Can't get to the stage where the indicators flash..

Don't know if that has anything to do with my Aussie spec imobiliser that uses a "dongle" on the keyring rather than a remote.

Any ideas?
