i bought a keyless entry remote off of ebay and i cant seem to program it.. can you buy OEM remote that doesnt work? and were can i get a cheap one that does work
If your car has an OEM Keyless entry and you need a remote to work with it, I just found a place the other day that sells OEM remotes fairly cheap and it includes programming instructions as well. Here's the link:
This is how I programmed my remote. I would recommend that you do the same:
1. Get in the car and close and lock all doors.
2. Put the key in the ignition and remove it completely 6 times in 10 seconds. If done correctly, your flashers will blink once and you will enter programming mode. Turn the key to accessories mode and press any button on your remote within 5 seconds. The flashers should illuminate again briefly.
3. Turn the ignition off and remove the key.
4. Unlock and open the door. Exit the car and shut the door.
5. Try your remote out. It worked flawlessly for me!

I just bought a keyless control from eBay, after I followed you instruction (step 2)
. Insert and remove key 6 times in 10 sec, I saw the flash
. Turn key to ACC
. Pressed the "lock" button -- but I did not see anything flash.
My question is,
How do I know if the battery (of the remote) still good?
or the remote I just bought simply DOA?
It works for any Nissan! I work for Midway Nissan in Phoenix!! I program cars all day!!!!!
Hi Vtech, listen I followed the instructions to the t on how to program the keyless remote for my 97 sentra but I can't get it to work. This is what am doing:
1. Get in the car, close it and lock it. (I have locked it both with the remote and manually)
2. I put the key in the ignition and proceed to remove it completely 6 times in 10 seconds. My flashers do not blink.
I have even continue with the complete process even though the flashers don't blink just to see but nothing.
What can I be doing wrong? please help, maybe you have come across this problem at the nissan dealer you work at. Thanks, Felix
Yeah, I'm having the same problem with my Pathfinder. I'm using the exact same steps, but my hazards aren't flashing after I've inserted the key however many times. Is there something that I'm probably doing wrong? I'd like to know if there is some type of extra trick to it.
I can't get it to work on my '03 Altima. I can get the flashers to blink, but only for a second and they turn off. At that point I continue following the steps, but they never flash again and it doesn't work.

sitting in my office at nissan. day dreaming about what else i want to do to my s-14.
Just make sure you have locked the door with pressing the drivers door latch in. NOT by the original key fob or the switch on the drivers door windows control console...
So, basically, lock all the doors and try the key in- out for 6 times in less than 10 seconds... the car should make the door locking sound.. then insert ignition key to and turn to ACC, then press a button on the new remote...
That should be it!
Same result here. 97 Altima. Replaced damaged remote. Followed procedure and can never get the lights to flash. Locked all doors using driver side door latch. No good. Locked all doors using driver side power lock. No good. Inserting and removing key completely. No rush. If lights never flash, how can I even get into programming mode? Don't really care about the remote now...just want the lights to flash first so I know it's in programming mode! Any ideas? Procedure I follow as detailed below:
FCC ID # (BACK OF REMOTE) :
KOBUTA3T or KOBUTA37
CANADA: 1983 101 754
1. Close and lock all doors with the driver’s side power lock/unlock switch.
2. Insert key into ignition and remove it from the ignition key cylinder at least six times within 10 seconds. Your Hazard Lamps will flash if you have performed this step successfully. ( Withdraw key completely from ignition cylinder each time ) . If this procedure is performed too fast, system will not enter programming mode.
3. Insert key into the ignition cylinder and turn to the ACC position.
4. Within 5 seconds, push ANY button on the keyless remote. Your Hazard Lamps should flash. ( Do not press the button more than one time in the above step). If the button is pressed more than one time, the programming procedure will not be successful.
5. If there are any remaining remotes (including the old ones), unlock then lock all doors using the driver’s side power lock/unlock switch and within 5 seconds, push ANY button on the next remote. Your Hazard Lamps should flash. Repeat this step for each keyless remote (including any existing keyless remotes).
6. Turn the key to the OFF position, remove keys from the ignition, unlock doors using the driver’s side power lock/unlock switch and open the driver side door.
If these instructions work for others, then I am happy to be of help. I just wish I could get it to work for myself...
