Key Circuit Board Swap

[3Katz]

After falling in the water with my keys in my pocket I rinsed them in metho and allow to dry which kind of worked - I can now unlock with the remote but can no longer lock. Put a new battery in it just incase but still no joy. I'm assuming the little switch on the circuit board is buggered and it seemed to me to be a fairly easy circuit to test but none of the electronic shops I've talked to are interested in having a look at it. I spoke to Nissan and they tell me the key is no longer available (anyone with FAST able to check?) Sooo my next move was going to be buy a second hand key from Japan and remove the circuit board from it and then install into my key and then somehow synch the new electronics in my key to my car. What do you guys reckon? Doable?

Yes, definitely doable. I added another key remote and went through the motions to mate it both with with our older '97 Stagea and our current 2006 M35. Search the M35 section for the posting on how to do this as the process is the same for both the older and newer Stageas.

Thanks Spong that's aweome I'll try to pick up a key over the weekend and give it a go

Just one small thing to note. Although the pairing process (as per my pdf) is the same for both original and M35 Stageas, the remotes themselves are different (and look very different). Be sure to get one of the same type.

I have a couple of keys I don't use, as I went to an aftermarket immobiliser.

Feel free to PM if you like; might be easier & quicker than Japan.

Cheers Spong will do
