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

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
