Bofaking 02-21-2008, 08:17 PM I just bought my X, and an 06 Quest, both vehicles only came with one key and one fob. The dealership wants $45 dollars for a key and then $95-140 to program it!! CRAZY!! I've found the right key with the chip in it on eBay for around $18 shipped. But I still have to have it programmed right? What is the best and cheapest way to have that done? I've think I’ve got the fob problem solved so that’s not an issue. Any suggestions on the key? json3904 02-21-2008, 09:48 PM i have never bought keys from ebay, so i really dont know.... LOL either way you have to get the dealer to program the key...... i know there is a way to do the fob but i havent heard of a way to do the key.... good luck nimnifnof 02-22-2008, 08:26 AM dealer has to program the key. Though it shouldn't cost that much. I bought a key and had it programed at my dealer for about $65 total.

It's unfortunate and it sucks, but "them's the breaks." gusx 03-24-2008, 10:14 AM I recently bought 4 keys from 'transponder island' via ebay, total cost 51.95 went ot a local locksmith[which was referred by their website] and they cut and programmed them for 51.30 inc tax so 4 keys total out of pocket, 103.25. the 05 up can only take 5 keys at a time, so with the remote start key, I ended up with one cut unprogrammed key,which will rpobably cost me 50 bucks to get programmed if I ever need it. Much cheaper than the dealer soccerbrace 03-24-2008, 10:29 AM Sweet! Also, I saw that ACE hardware also has chip keys that they make in store. Something to look into. It seems that there is always a cheaper alternative to the stealership. kinchy94 03-24-2008, 08:51 PM I had my Nissan Dealer make me a second key for $8.00 (only a month ago) so I am not too sure why you guys are paying so much. I live in Ontario but I can't see the price being that much of a difference in the states. json3904 03-24-2008, 08:55 PM do you have a 1st gen or a 2nd gen????? the 1st didnt have the chip that has to be programed.... i just looked and you have a 02 which means it is a 1st gen.... i could get you a key made for it for under a dollar... LOL soccerbrace 03-25-2008, 12:32 AM do you have a 1st gen or a 2nd gen????? the 1st didnt have the chip that has to be programed.... i just looked and you have a 02 which means it is a 1st gen.... i could get you a key made for it for under a dollar... LOL That's not necessarily true Jason. Some first gen.s have them and some don't ! Weird I know but it is true. | ||
