Q:
What does your local dealer charge for Nissan keyless entry remotes?
My Nissan dealer wants $129 a piece plus $35 for programming for each of my cars (03 350Z, 01 Maxima).
I'm curious to see what other dealerships are charging for new remotes and programming.
I'm done with ebay because the listings show new remotes, and 3 out of 3 times I've won - I end up with junk that doesn't work and won't program. First one was superglued together and cracked. Can't check the battery if you can't even open it. Second one was completely corroded inside from water and didn't work. The 3rd one only 1 button worked and it looked like someone tried to superglue the circuit board pieces back together. Each one was advertised as new, or like new and they obviously weren't anywhere close to that.
The Keyles Ride site is run by one of those same lying ebay sellers, so thats off the list too.
What does your local dealership charge? I bet there's some that want even more than what mine is charging.
A:
Research eBay!
I bought 2 extra POB' s from eBay for about $25 dollars with great program instructions.

I'd prefer to stay away from ebay with my experiences described above for the remotes. Are there any other sources besides the dealer?
A:
I agree. There's a lot of junk and there are a lot of dishonest sellers on Ebay.
If you do manage to get hold of a Nissan remote, you might try programming it yourself. Someone else (sorry, I forgot who) posted this previously. I haven't tried it.
A:
those look like the instructions I have left over from the ebay junk, but I never got to try them since the remotes werent able to be used.

I found another site online that I'm willing to give a shot - www.ThePartsYouNeed.com
The Key Less Ride site wants about $60 a piece with shipping for the 03 350Z remote.
They're 1/2 that price on ThePartsYouNeed site with the instructions included. I ordered 1 this morning.

I'll keep you guys posted. If it works good, I'm going to order one for my Maxima as well.
A:
$109 thru Courtesyparts?
Its a bit below dealer price, but quite a bit higher than the $29.99 I found them for on the other site.
