So Chris, to be really tricky, have you managed to fit the internals of an auto watch alarm fob inside a 350's key?

So Chris, to be really tricky, have you managed to fit the internals of an auto watch alarm fob inside a 350's key?

why bother?

[Cra-Z-Boy]

Can you possibly do write up on swamping internal part, is that hard to do ?..

where do you find V35 wrecks ... not that easy to come by in Australia surely

i just need stand by key, just in case my only one fails

Its very easy to do.

Just take out the small screw and pop the key open.

Once inside the bottons just come out as a complete unit.

There is also the small transponder chip at the base of the unit where the key is joined to the plastic casing.

It also comes out very easy.

Make sure when changing the transponder chip over you put it in the new key the same way it was in the old key .(it also is staight forward.

Hope this helps

Have a go and see how you go ,if you have any trouble just shot me a pm

And post on things like "find a part" , there are a few wrecks out there .

Sorry Chris, thanks but no thanks at this stage. That is cheaper than Nissan, but still not 'cheap' enough for me to reach into my pocket

key blanks with remote are $280-$300 each from me. you will need your immobiliser codes to program them. no code = dont bother.

how many do I buy?

As far as the codes go are they the numbers to do with the cars BCM? TomR33 gave me my pin number after i pulled off the kick panel near the ECU and gave him some numbers

or where else do i find them or get them?

[Chris Rogers]

fine with me. I called nissan on that and its $350-$375 new. understand that these are not cheap but you did buy a $80k car and parts are not going to be cheap for it.

[Dan85]

When I got my V35 it only had one key ,so off to Nissan I went only to find out I had to swap my kidney just to get one.

Anyway to my solution.

I got 2 used keys from a wreck of a V35 both have the 3 bottons

$80 with post

This may seem dear for 2 used keys but in the grand scheme of things it's not to bad.

Then I went on ebay UK and got 2 new uncut blanks for the X-Trail.

Costing with post to my door $45

They are exactly the same as the V35 keys .

I gutted the 2 used V35 key and put the inturnals in the 2 new X-Trail blanks.

Key cutting for the 2 new keys $14

Coding at Nissan for the 2 keys $45

So all up for 2 new coded keys

$184

I made this a new post as I thought most might want to see the much cheaper

alternative for new keys

do u mean like ebay.co.uk ? if so why ebay UK ? and not just ebay.com

sorry if that is a stupid question

[Cra-Z-Boy]

Yeah Ebay.co.uk.

And why, well they were the only ones I could find at the time on ebay world wide

and really $45 including post is cheap.

So after seeing what price chris can do the keys for , I still say 2 keys at just over half the price of 1

wins hands down and im always very happy when ever I can save a little cash

and hope this might save others some aswell

So are we talking 280-300 for a key or 350 to 375 now?

going over 300 is going to put me off considering ill still need to pay to have the key cut and programmed? or was that the price with everything done?

[Chris Rogers]

depending on the exchange $280-300 / key. if you are in brissy and have the key codes I'll program it for you.

[180 wanabe]

Im on the coast but a trip to bris is not that hard to make + I would also want to get my FM radio working so over AM....

Do you need the cars body number? im guessing the keys going to come over blank? just rock up to nissan or a locksmith to get it cut?

[Chris Rogers]

chassis number would help but the part number I put up is correct for 90% of the cars.as for getting nissan involved- not really needed UNLESS you need the key codes. (send me a PM.) radio is easy to knock over its time and parts for me.

[R6n350GT]

For those who live in QLD i have a friend that can copy any key.

Just got two keys cut and programmed for my V35. $185e or cheaper if more than 1 or group of people get together and he will come and do them all.

They are non nissan keys btw.

Dont need BCM code, just a current key and the car. If you are after details please PM me.

Cheers
