What about this key? Would this work?

Also where do you get a new key? When I bought my car they only gave me 1 key, not even a remote. I had to buy it on ebay.... so lame.

Make sure you tell him to included the "Nissan" emblem instead of the Infiniti emblem on the back of the remote.

Gezz, it isn't about being lazy, it is about having tons of accounts and my info all over the internet. Especially places I don't use.

BTW how much was it?

Thank you, you can remove it now if you like.

btw does this one work? Or would it probably have problems loosing the transponder programming?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/06-08...Q5fAccessories

Also does the g35driver by any chance sell the buttons as well? Mine are worn out. (I know I can ask him as well, might get a faster response here)

Thanks

Thanks for the write-up, guys! I just ordered a remote from ipearlg and I plan on using the chip from my valet key since it seems like it will be a lot easier than taking apart the regular key.

Same here, I should have my key in the next day or two. Unfortunately the stupid dealer only had one key. So I don't have the valet key or 2nd key. Anyway I can get one?

Great writeup guys! If i go the three button route, do i need to cut some of the circuit board to get it to fit, or is removing the panic button enough?

You need to get another key AND get it programmed. Not sure how much that costs but if it requires the dealership it won't be pretty.

Alright, thanks. I looked on ebay and I found a few, but not the valet key. Plus the ones on there don't look as good as the oem key. Ugh stupid dealer. I should of been pushy about it.

I have the valet key from my old Z lol.

I just finished my conversion tonight. Ordered from ipearlg on g35driver, $32 shipped.

I'm very pleased with the quality, the actual process was pretty easy. What the pictures might not show is the rubberized coating, feels kinda like those soft silicon covers for ipods and cellphones.
