ok i went to the dealer today to get a new key and he took my vin and ran it and showed they had a key instock and he was going to charge me 70 bux for the key and 35 to program it....but if the keys are the same and they just need to be programed then can i get a key from someone who is selling on the internet and just have it re-programed b/c i dont really want to have to pay 100 bux for a key.......let me know please.....thanks

 

i'm sure it needs cut too. I doubt all 350z keys are the same cut but with different codes.

 

so if i could find a blank key then i should be able to do it?

 

GO TO A KEY MAKER.

There is a local key maker in my town that can do it.

The Z is self programable. This is how: if you have 2 keys, the originals when you bought your car. what you do is:

1st key, turn the car on, then turn it off.

then get the 2nd key, turn the car on, then off.

the car now goes into program mode. You get an erased/clean key that is cut already that matches your 2 oem keys and then it gets programmed by the Z.

my local key shop is a little hole in the wall that cut my Z key and i programmed it myself this way.

sorry for the double click on the post button.

by the way. the key cost me 27.50 + tax.

 

I don't doubt you've done this... but until now everybody said it needs to be programmed by a machine...

how many oem keys do you need?

where did you find the 27.50 key

 

i am wanting to get 2 keys done.....and whoever can help me with this i appricate sp? it....i only have one and i am scared of losing it.....

 

someone find a way to get the jdm key to work

 

Man that is sweet. Maybe the chip is different?

 

I dont understand why not....its made for the fairladyZ. why would there be a differnt frequency for an export model?

 

I bought my extra 2000 maxima key on ebay for like $20 and my nissan dealer programed it for free. Took like 15 seconds, and was done inside the car.

 

Sounds very easy to program your new Z key for free with your own Z.

At the last step when you put in the new clean key, do you also need to turn the car on and then off? Is there a specific time you need to allow the car to turn on before you turn off at each step?

Lastly, what happens if you loose either one of the 2 original keys? Then you have to get the dealer to program it for you?

 

All I can say is "part number". Who can get a friggin' part number for this?

BTW, you guys might wanna suscribe to this thread which is following Jason@Performance who is going to test one of these JDM keys.

u need two oem keys. the little key maker shop im talking about then would charge $35 to hook it up to their computer. so 27.50 + 35 total.

 

yes, need to turn car on then off on last step.

 

PETERPIT --- HIS key was programed this way.

 

sorry, but I don't believe you can program the key without hooking into the ECU (which is what my locksmith does). you can buy the key on ebay for like $20 each or from the locksmith (some of them will actually carry the correct key). I paid about $40 for my locksmith to program my key.

 

$70 for a key... You would think it was made from Titanium or something...

 

Made out of Ice and da chronic. Can someone photoshop what 50 cent's keys would look like?
