I just went through a harrowing experience when the 'Green Light' started flashing in my 2007 Maxima. Of course, I panicked! At first I did the noble thing and called the dealer who stated that I had to purchase a $25 battery and that it would take another $125 to program it (That's $150…WOW). After hearing this disturbing information I searched the internet and came upon (FA) this site where I found this information.
In following the guidance from members at FA, I went out to the nearest AutoZone and purchased ($4.30) a pair of CR2025 batteries (Duracell). The attendant assisted me with placing the battery in the remote. I walked away from this one only spending $4.30. Wow! I believe I saved $121.50! Nissan Service Dealers must get better with scaring consumers or past clients who purchased their cars.
If your battery dies, don't fret; buy the battery, and screwdriver (small flathead); If you do not have manual use this:
INTELLIGENT KEY BATTERY
Replace the battery in the Intelligent Key as follows:
1. Remove the mechanical key from the Intelligent Key.
2. Insert a small screwdriver (A) into the slits (B) of the corner and twist it to separate the upper part from the lower part.
3. Replace the battery with a new one. (Recommended battery: CR2025 or equivalent.)
· Do not touch the internal circuit and electric terminals as doing so could cause a malfunction.
· Hold the battery by the edges. Holding the battery across the contact points will seriously deplete the storage capacity.
· Make sure that the + side faces the bottom of the case.
· And that's basically IT! That Simple; No weird science, key programming or dealers' rip off!
I hope this will save some consumer a lot of money in these economic hard times!
trying to set up and program 2003 Nissan altima key fob
The key fob battery on a 2008 Nissan Altima is replaced by using a coin to open the rear of the case. The battery can then be popped out and a new one installed.
This car has a keyless ignition and has a backup key slot to the lower left of the driver to place the key if the battery in the key fob has a weak battery in it.
I'm assuming yours has push button start. the mechanical key should always stay in the key fob. it will only unlock the door and glove box manually. if the battery should run down in the fob just stick the fob with key in it in the slot below and to the left of the steering wheel to start.
take your key fob and depress both lock and unlock at the same time . the system will switch back and forth
yes
yes
There is a recharging port down and to the left of the steering wheel, next to the trunk release button. Insert the back end of the fob into the port and it will lock in place.
There is not a location for the key insert in a 2013 Altima. It is stated that the Nissan Altima smart key allows the driver to keep the key in their pocket when unlocking, locking. and starting the vehicle.
go to a Nissan dealership and they should be able to help you
Keys must be programmed by the dealer or possibly an advanced key/locksmith. FOB's (clickers can be done easily following a sequence of events) Keys must be programmed by the dealer or possibly an advanced key/locksmith. FOB's (clickers can be done easily following a sequence of events)
The key is inside of the key fob. There is a small switch on the back of fob. Push it towards the outside and hold it. While holding the switch, pull on the key ring and your key will slide out.
