I got my Z in May, a few weeks later I got the key/remote in the pictures. The paint started to leave immediately and it looked old within a week. About June the actual key part became loose and got looser. Last night when I removed the key from the ignition the key part flew across the car and hit my Wife in the leg. Thank god it did not hit her eye.

We were going to dinner and so I had to put the key in the ignition, slip the broken flip part onto it to turn and get the chip in proximity and then came the hassle of getting it out 3 more times without tools.


I sent a message to ikeyless.com, their response was there is a 30 day warranty so all we will do is "fix it" (I assume this means put the electronics in another same bad quality case and send me a new blank)

Why would I want another crummy case? I had to pay the dealer to program all of my keys which is not cheap and will have to do it again to replace this pos.

AVOID ikeyless.com!!!!!!!!!!!

 

that sucks man, there's a good writeup on here somewhere that shows you how to make your own flip key

 

Sucks bro. That thing looks like a POS.

 

man, you probably have sand papers as fingers.

 

They refuse to refund, I asked for several empty cases and blanks in exchange for not posting on any more forums, they want this down.

 

If it were my fault I would not be complaining.

Look at the other remotes.

Same ring, same treatment, YEARS OLDER.

 

The wife and I bought that same flip key for our Murano. The paint hasn't chipped off like that nor has the key broke off, but it is a huge piece of crap. It won't stay shut or open and now it only starts the car from one specific side instead of both.

 

wonder if reclear coating the case would help? and gorilla glue the key back in the slot would help? I was thinking of doing this myself too

 

Damn that sucks, try scraping the rest of all the crappy paint off it so its atleast one shade of black?

Free bump for hanging a bad vendor!

 

BTW I am this upset because this was 85.xx plus 60 to Nissan to program the chip in all my keys. (Nissan's fault)

So not like it costs what it is worth.

 

O so this flapkey come with the chip inside already or did you remove it from your old key???

 

It comes with a chip that has to be programmed by Nissan. I programmed the remote myself and Home Depot cut the key (free because they can't charge for a blank they don't sell)

 

im still surprise that the key snap like that!!!! wonder if all the flapkey style do that??

 

I have a cheap ebay flip key I cobbled for my e30 BMW. going on 5 years looks better than this. Has not broken.

I think I paid 20 bucks for it.

 

that sux, just get a regular/oem key broskee

 

I agree, just trying to warn others prior to getting involved with this company.

I have three keys/2 fobs, I like the flip but I'd never get another of these.

 

^^^good looking out. remotes4less on ebay sells the remote fob (works) plus a key (does not work) Theyre still the cheapest remotes ive found though.

 

Pics of wife?

 

Use your imagination.
