oh, guys whatever you do, dont ever lose your keys. i lost my only set and it just cost me $550 to get 2 keys, 2 remotes and to get them programmed. stealerships suck!!!

 

550$? WTF Why did you pay the dealership that for...

Should have gotten a blank key from eBay

Key fob from ebay, I looked up review and these cheap ones are just like oem and works perfectly fine.

The fob even comes with instructions on how to program the remotes.

And the dealership charges around 50$-80$ to program each key.

550$ is INSANE.

 

^^ i got ripped off lol. $100 labor the rest were the costs of the keys and remotes. i believe it was something like $80 per key, $100 per remote. $100 labor + taxes.

 

I lost one of my back up sets also...and finally just got the key from Nissan.

$ 100 for the key Plus another $ 100 for the programming....and I had to leave the Z with them for like a day.

I still need a key Fob with the remote alarm.

 

100$ for programming. FFFFUUUU dealerships! This is how you program the key fob yourself.

Here's the sequence for the curious:

enter car, close and local all doors. Slowly insert and remove key from ignition 6 times withen 10 seconds. The hazard lights will blink to confirm original code has been erased. Turn ignition to the ACC position. Press any button on the 1st transmittor. Hazard lights will blink to confirm programming. To enter additional transmitters, unlock and lock the doors using the power lock switch on the driver's door. Press any key on the 2nd transmitter, hazard lights will blink to confirm programming. Repeat the unlock, lock step to program additional transmitters. Open driver's door, turn ignition off.

 

i think im gonna have them keep the remotes and buy them off ebay lol.

 

dang....

 

Q,
Are you talking about the Alarm & remote door & trunk fob ?

Because I was under the impression that the actual key itself needs to be programmed...it has a chip inside of it & won't start the car if it isn't programmed.

So tell me that you can program the ignition key....if not then I need to get the remote alarm fob for my back up key.

 

he's talking about the remote. the key itself has to be done by a lock smith with the right equipment or stealership.

 

Yeah, thats what I thought.....I don't know where else you can get the actual key & have it programmed besides the Stealership.

 

exactly....

Key and remote fobs could be bought cheap on ebay.

Then from there you can find certain local lock smiths with lap tops that will come out to your car and program your 'keys' due to the internal chip OR the dealership. some local shops even sell the keys versus ebay.

fob action remote you can do yourself easy breezy as Q explained...

The key itself should be 100$ for the key and that includes the programming the actual transponder on the key itself. It shouldn't be 100$ for the key and another 100$ to program the key.

 

Well that's what those Fuggers charged me !

 

hence why they are called the stealership. saw a nice red GTR in the service area. had MVP in vinyl on the side. MVP motorsports is what im thinking.

 

Ok....I HATE THIS STUPID DROP DOWN WINDOW !

That Fugger always drops down on my reply post.

 

Anyone else going to swing by the RKC meet tonight?

 

just dont touch the banner with the mouse... Im already used to moving around it..

 

Screw that ! ....it's like saying, " don't touch your crotch or scratch your ***** ! " ...the **** is gonna happen.

Plus I'm on a Wacom tablet so it crosses over it very easy with the pen.

 

Today my 4runner turned over 100k. So i finally move my lazy a$$ and did few maint on my 4runner. Man...i was too short to doing stuff I had to stand up on chair...lol

Anyway...Jason or Jack or someone has an advice or experience.

Problem: One of my wire connector doesn't go in all the way to coil.

I took it to down the road and did full throttle. When it hit redline It threw me a CEL/VSA(?) and ran like crap. I found out one of wire connector was lose. I checked the problem connector/coil, it seems fine. But somehow it doesn't click it. But i just pushed connector and now car runs fine.

Question: Can i wrap connector/coil with some kind of tape? What kind of tape should i use?

Btw enjoy ugly dirty V6 4runner engine bay.
