Programming a Key Fob

Key fob programming varies from models to brands and even within the same model. Any key fob may be easily reprogrammed using the steps listed below. We try to broaden and cover enough grounds in this tutorial, but if the process is not applicable with your car, consult the services of a locksmith.

How to Program A Key Fob

• Get in the driver's seat and shut all doors.
• Press the lock button on the driver’s side
• Repeatedly insert and remove the key until the hazard lights blink. Once this happens, it indicates activation of the programming mode.

If the hazard lights do not flash in ten seconds, you should start over. Put the key in and turn the "ON" switch. Do not start the engine, then push any button on the fob. You have set up the key fob for your Nissan.

For Other Advanced Models

Step 1

Get into the driver’s seat and close all doors except the driver’s door. Push the key twice without turning it in.

Step 2

With your key still inside its hole, close and open your door two times then leave it open. Insert the key and remove it from the ignition in under 40 seconds.

Step 3

With your key still out of the ignition, close and re-open your door twice but leave it open. Again, insert your key into the ignition and shut the driver’s door. Now turn the ignition ON and OFF but do not start the car.

Step 4

Remove your key and if you got it right the doors will automatically lock and unlock to show you are in programming mode. Press the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the fob until a complete cycle is repeated.
