M35 Key - Wont Lock

[Angus Smart]

Hey,

my key wont lock, it opes fine every time but just the locking button seems a little dicked. i've tried to fix the joints on the button and have a little fiddle but no good..

if i was to buy a used key from yahoo japan, (around 20 bucks) and pull it apart and use the transponder unit program using the steps on here should i be sweioooot??

mmmm, maybe , maybe not. There are Key Codes for the transponders that are programed in the Body Control Module that control the security of the car door locks.

You may be able to get it reprogrammed but you need to know the Key code of the transponder, these are usually stamped on an aluminium tab that would be hanging on your key ring.

That reminds me.

To start my car I have to have these little black things on my keys. Does anyone know what they are and who can program them? I sort of lost one and don't like not having a spare...

[zei20l]

if they say nissan on them, they are the factory immobiliser. you can probably get them from nissan. BUT, programming the system is the hard part.........

Aha, after a quick google search (after a read of the dongle thing) it's some autowatch thingo. Will shoot them an email.

Got a pic of the black things Michael?

I have a "black dongle things" with my keys. They are the proximity sensor for the immobiliser that Northshore Prestige installed.

Might be the same as on your car?

Any chance FAST shows the lock barrell number for specific models?

I need a spare key made up but apparently have to take off the door trim to find the lock number.

I can get one, but I'm at work so can't just yet.

But, it's one of these I think:

I assume that's to satisfy aussies requirement for an immobiliser? Personally, I want to get rid of using keys completely and just have my car start via a proximity sensor but that's a project for another day.

That's the one that Northshore fitted to my car...

Yes, Michael, it is to satisfy the immobiliser requirement.

They do seem to work quite well (if you happen to drop one, make sure the receiver is still in the plastic case before trying to get back in your car...)
