I bought a 2005 SE Crew Cab and miss having keyless remote entry. I do have the power option that includes power door locks. I bought an aftermarket remote and need a Frontier wiring diagram to install. I don't want to spend big bucks on the service manual just for a wiring diagram. Anyone do this mod yet and could pass along advice?

Do a search on "keyless".
I seem to remember a thread on this recently and if I remember correctly, you may already have keyless entry available and may just need to buy the fobs and program them.

Just go on ebay and get a Fob.
Programing is easy, Get in truck, lock doors, stick key in ignition 6 times or until hazards flash and then turn ignition to on position and hit any button on the fob. Get out of truck and try the fob.
These directions should work but i may be a little off so look around the site and they will pop up.
I'm going tomorrow to buy an SE. While search the dealer inventory against the NissanUSA MSRP I see that some SE are priced $100 higer on the base MSRP and $200 more on the Power Option MSRP. On the trucks with the lower MSRP's I also see that the last few numbers of the VIN are smaller and supect they are earlier builds. It might be nice if those with SE Power options to let us know what their MSRP was for it. The one I'm buying is $950 and I'll post if it came with the remote or not.
Here's the "deal" on keyless entry for the SE. If you have the power package, you can easily program key fobs to work. I know, I did it.
Originally, the early "standard" version of the power package didn't offer keyless entry (even though it was just a matter of getting key fobs and programing). That's why they charged $900.00 for the first version. Later on, they decided to make the fobs "standard" and they changed the power package price to $1100.00. So, in essence you're paying $200.00 more for 2 key fobs. If your power package cost $900, don't expect to get key fobs. They'll be happy to sell you one for $100 each.
That's why many of us went to Ebay and bought one for 25-30 dollars. Programmed it ourselves. Works just like factory.....go figure.
If you go looking for one on Ebay, you'll want the KBRASTU15. It works with a few models, like the Sentra.
Just picked up my new 05 KC. Storm Gray 4x4, tow package and power package. Build date is 03/05.
Just tried the ignition key test and flashers did not come on. Does this mean that I do not have the "receiver" for keyless entry, or am I just doing something wrong?

Danny, when I programed mine, the flashers didn't "flash". I thought maybe I didn't do it right, but when I hit the button on the fob, the doors worked perfectly. I think everyone that has the power package has the ability to use keyless entry.
On a related note, I've seen a few people complain about the horn being "wimpy". I think Nissan did that on purpose because it'll beep when you lock it with the keyless fobs. If the horn was loud, you'd get complaints from neighbors, ect.
FYI -- in case anyone doesn't know, you can deactivate the horn beep when the doors are locked with the key fob. Just hold down the open and close buttons simultaneously for a couple of seconds, and the lights will flash a couple of times to show it's been deactivated. Now, the horn won't sound when the vehicle is locked.
To re-activate the horn feature, just repeat the process.

Jeff,
Thanks for the reassuring response. I bit the bullet and was the high bidder on e-bay for [2] units labelled "02-05 NISSAN Xterra Titan Keyless Entry KBRASTU15". I am a mechanical klutz, so I may have to come back for help when they arrive.
Is this a great truck or what? My wife caught me standing in the garage just staring and admiring.
My next move is to look into the bug shield, wind deflectors, and perhaps the body side moldings.
Thought I would follow up on the keyless remote. Thanks to the information from this forum, I just received the fobs that I won on e-bay. Aggressive bidding drove the price up to $44, but this was for a pair.
Even though I am mechanically challenged, the program worked on the very first try. Thanks to all who have provided the necessary information.
I purposely selected the SE with the power package, and I love the truck, but am still mystified that it did not come with the key fobs.
I have deactivated my horn beep four times now and it deactivates the horn the next time I try it, but after that
it honks again.
I followed the instructions in the owners manual, but it will
not deactivate on a permannent basis. I guess I need to take it to the dealership.

I don't know the answer, but you should be able to find out easily. I assume you have a "power package" on your Frontier? If so, then take a look at the key fobs on Ebay. The part number is KBRASTU15. Find someone near you that uses them on a Titan, Sentra or other Nissan. Ask to borrow a fob. Program it (instructions are in this thread) and try it out. My guess is yes, it will work.....
