When I got my V35 it only had one key ,so off to Nissan I went only to find out I had to swap my kidney just to get one.

Anyway to my solution.

I got 2 used keys from a wreck of a V35 both have the 3 bottons

$80 with post

This may seem dear for 2 used keys but in the grand scheme of things it's not to bad.

Then I went on ebay UK and got 2 new uncut blanks for the X-Trail.

Costing with post to my door $45

They are exactly the same as the V35 keys .

I gutted the 2 used V35 key and put the inturnals in the 2 new X-Trail blanks.

Key cutting for the 2 new keys $14

Coding at Nissan for the 2 keys $45

So all up for 2 new coded keys

$184 :3some:

I made this a new post as I thought most might want to see the much cheaper

alternative for new keys

key blanks with remote are $280-$300 each from me. you will need your immobiliser codes to program them. no code = dont bother.

how many do I buy?

is this amount for the V35 Coupe 2004 with the 3 button key Chris...

Can you possibly do write up on swamping internal part, is that hard to do ?..

where do you find V35 wrecks ... not that easy to come by in Australia surely

i just need stand by key, just in case my only one fails

two vertical stacked buttons or a blue and black one?

the PN above is for the former.

Hi Chris.

it has the 2 vertical stacked buttons - both black.

i dont have the code which is generally included with the keys i know. but is this impossible to find?

what are my options.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
