Thread: Program a New KEY FOB

The programming instruction is the same for Senta and Altima.

1. Close and lock all doors with the driver’s side power lock/unlock switch.

2. Insert key into ignition and remove it from the ignition key cylinder at least six times within 10 seconds. Your Hazard Lamps will flash if you have performed this step successfully. ( Withdraw key completely from ignition cylinder each time ) . If this procedure is performed too fast, system will not enter programming mode.

3. Insert key into the ignition cylinder and turn to the ACC position.

4. Within 5 seconds, push ANY button on the keyless remote. Your Hazard Lamps should flash. ( Do not press the button more than one time in the above step). If the button is pressed more than one time, the programming procedure will not be successful.

5. If there are any remaining remotes (including the old ones), unlock then lock all doors using the driver’s side power lock/unlock switch and within 5 seconds, push ANY button on the next remote. Your Hazard Lamps should flash. Repeat this step for each keyless remote (including any existing keyless remotes).

6. Turn the key to the OFF position, remove keys from the ignition, unlock doors using the driver’s side power lock/unlock switch and open the driver side door.

does anyone know if any Nissan remote will work for our cars or is it only ones made for Sentras? I found one of a 350z for like $5 and I was just wondering if it would work.

sorry to raise this from the dead but i'm also wondering about the different key fobs

with both work with the 03 sentra?

i have the first one but i have a couple of spare fobs like the second pic

Give it a try and let us know. I have one like that for my Versa so I can't play with it well it's on warranty.

There is an FCC number on the back of each fob. Only matching FCC numbers will work on your car. For example, FCC No. KBRASTU15 will work with most 02-08 Nissan and Infinity vehicles except 02-07 Sentras and 07-08 Altimas. FCC No. NHVBU27 works on my 04 Sentra, but may also work an many other Nissan and Infinity vehicles.

Programming instruction are in the FSM's.

ok i just checked and i can confirm it does not work with the second type. i just tried to program it 3 times with no luck.

as westner said, the fcc #'s don't match.
