The one i got from the guy on g35 is pretty cheap, after using it for a week or so, it already broke on me. Let me know how that $45 holds up.

The one I got is the same style as that one. If I pay 40 bucks and it breaks, I'll be mad, lol.

Default I might pick up the product from RYAN
I've been in touch with Ryan and due to him no longer carrying the product, I might buy his info to the product.

Im looking for 10 possible buyers to contact me with interest in ordering. I am also looking for reviews on the Unit he was selling.

If I get enough interest ill pick up the business and be happy to do so..

The price is 35 shipped.

Email me at 350zflipkey@gmail.com

I have over 250 ebay sals and rating if you want that info..

If I get 10 people interested I'll buy the info and get back to you with ordering info.

Thanks for the opportunity .

This was the one whos email was posted earlier, the one that was selling them. On a positive note, he did mail me some new nissan logos for the key fob, since the one i got was cracked.

This is the one I have, and the quality is definitely makes this a no-go. I've tried everything, but the plastic casing cannot keep a grip on the actual key's position. Basically, my key flops around, and there's not much I can do about it. It was fine for about 2 weeks, but it just went downhill from there. I highly recommend avoiding this one! I'm going to be switching to the more 'rectangular' one soon, hopefully that one will be of better quality...

Edit: I have the one from ryan@g35- it looks exactly like this, which is why I have doubts... I'd hate to spend another $30+ for the exact same lousy product!

Whoever bought the same key fob as mine and Jay should try this too.

Just stumbled upon this thread after a friend mentioned it...

Is there a consensus yet on which FOB is the best? Rectangular, 3-button, rounded 4-button?

Looking to do this mod soon, help is appreciated.

Andrew, there really is no sense in getting the 3-button remote since all of our remotes come with 4 buttons and there is a 4-button remote available.

Anyone bought this key fob yet? Was it easy to program and cut?

You should get one from artiway or mykeyless-1 on eBay. I got mine from mykeyless-1 and this guy name Nick did really great job on my key. Home depot messed up mine so I had to order another set but Nick sent me new set for free. (: what can i say? he saved my $50 lol.
